Rockabilly is one of the earliest styles of rock and roll music, and emerged in the early 1950s.


The term rockabilly is a portmanteau of rock (from rock 'n' roll) and hillbilly, the latter a reference to the country music (often called hillbilly music in the 1940s and 1950s) that contributed strongly to the style's development. Other important influences on rockabilly include western swing, boogie woogie, and rhythm and blues. While there are notable exceptions, its origins lie primarily in the Southern United States.


The influence and popularity of the style waned in the 1960s, but during the late 1970s and early 1980s, rockabilly enjoyed a major revival of popularity that has endured to the present, often within a rockabilly subculture.


This post is a little bit long with a ton of shots in it. I kept trying to take more out, but I cannot do it. I love this couples style, and look so much that I would take 1 our and put 2 in!!

Vicki & Don may have even convinced me to go to Vegas for the millionth time to check out the Rockabilly Party this coming Spring. I would not fun or take any pictures I am sure!!!
