Rockabilly
Johnny Cash, Buddy Holly, and Elvis Presley featured the rockabilly sound with their vocal twangs, strong rhythms, and vocal harmonies. In the early 1950's Rockability was known for being one of the earliest styles of rock and roll music in the Deep South of the United States.
Hillbilly music in the 1940s and 1950s blended well with the genre Western musical style, rhythm and blues with a poetic mix of country music. Jump blues, boogie-woogie, and electric blues-influenced the Rockabilly music scene, with a variety of sub-styles influencing such as punk rock, with the basic rhythm of Rockabilly displayed throughout, has been used since the mid-1920's.
Junior Parker and his electric blues band, a musician for the Memphis blues. Supported Rockabilly to be voiced as a historic creation with their songs " Love My Baby" and "Mystery Train" recorded in 1953, contributing to many films of that time with their powerful lyrics, guitar solos, and dance moves.
The Saturday Night Jamboree held every Saturday night at the Goodwyn Institute Auditorium in downtown Memphis, Tennessee. Was a platform for new artists to mix together, create riffs and improvisations in that moment, to launch their career and build a receptive audience to their gospel, blues, boogie woogie mixes. Elvis Presley launched his career here along with Eddie Bond, Charlie Feathers who were amongst the young and talented musicians of the 1950's. Without knowing it they all contributed to making a historical significance for Rockabilly and the heartfelt stories in the lyrics which mirrored the American life of that era.
