The rockabilly style evolved out of post-war country-boogie, hillbilly, and rhythm & blues. Between 1945 and 1954 these disparate musical styles crossed paths and developed the hybrid known as rockabilly. The Delmore Brothers were early exponents of the country-boogie style, which had grown out of jazz boogie-woogie rhythms. They recorded several influential discs on the King label in the mid-forties, including "Hillbilly Boogie" and "Pan American Boogie" in 1945. These set the course for other country artists who assimilated the Delmores' rhythms into their own work. Hank Thompson, Webb Pierce, Red Foley and Moon Mullican among others built careers around the boogie beat. Equally important in the evolution of rockabilly was the hillbilly style of Hank Williams. His honky-tonk hillbilly sound, utilizing steel guitar, acoustic bass and profound influence on Bill Haley and Carl Perkins.

HI!!!...
I KNEW ABOUT ROCKABILLY LIKE TWO YEARS AGO: I WENT WHITH A FRIEND TO A DANCE NEAR FROM REVOLUTION MONUMENT...AND IT REALLY LIKED ME. IT`S A SOUND TOTALLY DIFFERENT AND THE DANCING STYLE IS FUNNY AND SOMETHING DIFFICULT.
YOU´VE ALREADY DONE THE INVESTIGATION THAT I WOULD HAD DONE.
I like it, but I, too, thought it was a new thing, because it only recently started to be a fashionable word. I don't like it, though, as to get all dressed up, put lots of grease on my hair and have a James Dean look, but I think it's a fun rhythm, and an interesting fashion.
Hey Ruben, well....when i went to this place i felt like in the vaselina movie!!!
I think it´s a nice concept to spend one saturday night.
