1983
Rockabilly has been with us since the early 1950's and is just as popular today. It's the sound and the look that sets this genre apart from all other rock forms.
This album covers the bands that were growing in popularity in the early 80's and were all located in the Southern California area. Some of these folks went on to greater fame, like Dave Alvin with the Blasters, Billy Zoom with X and of course the band Los Lobos.
At the time of this recording all were struggling local bands trying to get ahead.
