would you consider the "Stray Cats" to be rockabilly? Just curious... no pun/malice/sarcasm intended...


yes actually it is. but brian setzer transitioned into big band from rockabilly which is just as good.

but he's got another band now and is back into that bluegrass roots he loved so much.

contrary to popular belief, the stray cats were rockabilly.

the horrorpops however.. are not.

i dont care what anyone says. that band is plain ole pop.


I love Brian Setzer. The big band swing thing he did was really good. I did not know that he was starting a bluegrass band. How cool is that? Do you like Dwight Yoakom?


I haven't really listened to alot of Dwight Yoakom's stuff but for some reason i find myself not liking newer country. the only country i like is the very old very blue grass blues based country.


I really don't like newer country either. Dwight has been around for awhile. His idol is Buck Owens. They are both from Bakersfield. It is country but it definately has a rockabilly edge. The cd guitars and cadillacs is my favorite. There is a radio station here in eastern Ky. that plays the best bluegrass plus other things. http://www.appalshop.org/wmmt/ . You can listen to it on your computer. I think you will like it....smokin


Dwight is one of my favorites. It's just my opinion, but I think he's about the coolest guy out there. lol. Presonality, style, attitude... and talent. OMG, I think I have a man-crush.

It's hard to classify, but rockabilly is a good start.
