The sound

Slap-back echo, a slapped upright bass, twangy guitar and a hiccuping vocal: rockabilly is simple to describe and hard to fake. It fed straight into rock and roll, and it came back in the late 1970s and 80s revival with the Stray Cats and others — and it lives on in a worldwide scene of clubs, weekenders and car shows.
