Anybody listen to rockabilly? I dig certain "country" styles of music. "Country & Western" and Top 40 Pop Country can pretty well make the beast with two backs off (though they have their moments). I like Hank III and Robert Earl Keen. I like blue grass and the Delta Blues and such. And I really dig rockabilly type stuff when I hear it.
Any suggestions on the rockabilly front? Mystery Gang. Skip rats. What else? What about more modern harder edged type stuff?

Bobspapa,
If Buck Owens is mentioned in this thread I will punch you square in the dick.
Fair warning given.

Maybe not exactly rockabilly, but I used to really dig Southern Culture on the Skids (http://www.scots.com/home/default.asp).
BUCK OWENS
Does this mean you're going to punch him square in the dick?

Memphis Rockabilly Band -- very original style, but lots of "digression" if you will.
El Vez, Dimestore Heroes..
Kings of Nuthin are sort of rockabilly, maybe more punk R&B

I like it.
is steve earle country?
i like a couple of his songs. the country ones, not the westerns ;)
Put a couple of your favs in Pandora Radio and see what plays.
If you dig Hank the III, you'll most likely dig Wayne Hancock. Robert Gordon, Old Tiger Army (the newest release sucks balz I think), Mike Ness (Social D front man) has a couple of awesome CD's, Rev. Horton Heat (best show live...ever!), Rezurex, Nekromantics, Mad Sin, Horrorpops...that should get you started if you want Rockabilly. [thumbsup]

The Blasters.

The Reverend Horton Heat.
Specifically, listen to Galaxy 500 and It's Martini Time.
What about Marty Stewart? Not really rockabilly, but good nonetheless.

Another vote for The Blasters. Dark Night is one of my favourite tunes.
I'm in the same camp at T-Byrd for my suggestions. Couple other bands I've seen play are The legendary Shack Shakers, and Dash Riprock. Both put on good sets when they were opening for the Rev.
iF you've got XM channel 53 has a segment called 'Hee Haw Hell' a few times at day that's all Rockabilly/Psychobilly and Cow punk. Good way to discover some new bands

The legendary Shack Shakers
+1
I saw them open for the Reverend also and they were out of control!! The lead singer came out with a goat mask on and they rocked from start to finish. Pure psychobilly bad-ass!
Can't forget about The Meteors, considered the founders of psychobilly.
I disagree with T, I like the new Tiger Army release.

This thread is turning into a nice shopping list next time I go buy cd's.
Thanks for all of your input guys and gals. After sampling the various sub genres I find I really like what I have seen refered to as Cow Punk, Punkabilly and Psyhcobilly. [evil] [thumbsup]
Hmmmm, I just got a 4G memory card for my Blackberry. I's gots me some downloadin' to do!
