A handful of disc jockeys started using the term "rockbilly" in 1956, although Johnny pronounced it with an invisible "a" in his song "Rock Billy Boogie".

Scan of news article mentioning "the controversial rockbilly music"

News clipping mentioning "rockbilly, or country music with a rock 'n' roll beat"

Was in a less than amazing mood and spinning German Rockbilly purveyors Cat Lee King & His Cocks has brought a smile to my face.

I'd say they'd lean more towards outlaw country with a dash of rockbilly. Them moving in the direction some of their peers did in the 80s with synthesizers and such would have been kind of weird.

I'm writing a contemporary rockbilly song about nipple clamps and a violet wand. The working title is, "Be My Human Dildo."

It was more of a collaring, possibly against a wall. Once a Rockabilly chick always a Rockbilly chick. Calling George out for his verbal abuse needs to happen everyday until he leaves town or goes back to prison.

Hello Davis! Really dig the sketchy line work in your work!

several cartoon characters looking at various vinyl records inside an old record store.

My favorite thing I learned today is originally the music was called rockbilly but due to a radio DJ's Southern accent it began being called rockabilly and the rest is history.
