Rockabilly

Rockabilly is a style of popular music that combines elements of rock and roll, hillbilly, country, and rhythm and blues. It originated in the mid-1950s in the United States, primarily among white teenagers in the South and Midwest. The style was most popular in the 1950s, but experienced a resurgence in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Rockabilly is characterized by a strong backbeat, vocal twang, and electric guitars. It often features a fast tempo and catchy lyrics. It is often associated with early rock and roll performers such as Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, and Buddy Holly.
