As a genre, rockabilly's post-Elvis profile has seldom been lower in the United States. Many labels that produced fresh bass-slappin' sides during the '90's are now out of business.

Normally, you go into the recording studio, make a record and then take it on the road and you think... wow... I could have done THIS to it, or something.

Veteran performers are dying off, and new acts simply aren't emerging on the national scene.

To me, rockabilly music paralleled punk's energy and feeling, but the players were much better.

The biggest challenge for me was Get Rhythm. I don't know why.

I got cat class and I got cat style

Don't be afraid to take liberties with this music. Try and put some of yourself into it.
