Rockabilly

Rockabilly is a music genre that originated in the 1950s, blending elements of rock 'n' roll, country, and rhythm and blues. Characterized by a strong backbeat, upbeat tempos, and often featuring guitar, upright bass, and occasionally piano, it embodies a playful and rebellious spirit. While Elvis Presley is one of the most famous rockabilly artists, other notable figures include Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins. The style also influenced fashion, with distinctive clothing like denim jackets and slicked-back hair. Rockabilly remains influential today, celebrated for its energetic sound and nostalgic connection to early rock music.
