Rockabilly The Indispensable 1951-1960

Rockabilly derives from bluegrass, country boogie and the African-American rock `n' roll genre, borrowing much from the latter. Its rise coincided with rock's early popularity with a mass audience. Intense, incomparable and spirited, rockabilly is a style apart, defined by an aesthetic of great purity that is both simple and efficient.
