VARIOUS ARTISTS - Texas Rockabilly (Sealed) (2CD)

Rockabilly is an early form of rock music created by white musicians from the southern United States. It was popular from the mid-1950s to 60s and was revived in the late 70s. Record critics coined the term Rockabilly, which literally means „Rock and roll played by hillbillies“. By the late 1940s, radio stations throughout North America were often playing blues, rhythm and gospel, inspiring young white working class musicians (especially in areas with African-American populations) to mix black music with country music. The result was initially called Country and Western Rhythm & Blues, but despite the mostly derogatory associations of the word Hillibilly, it became known as Rockabilly.
