Rockabilly

Rockabilly is an early style of rock and roll that emerged in the Southern United States during the 1950s. Defined by a frantic, driving beat, it blends country music (hillbilly) with rhythm and blues. Characterized by slapback echo, boogie-woogie piano, and a twangy, slap-style upright bass, rockabilly features raw, energetic vocals and prominent guitar work, pioneered by artists like Elvis Presley and Carl Perkins.
