Band Members: ELVIS, SCOTTY AND BILL
Influences: Elvis (from 1954 to 1958 - pre-GI Elvis; before he was ruint by the Colonel), Johnny Horton, Dwight Yoakam, Rev Horton Heat, Johnny Paycheck, Hank Williams, Sr., Carl Perkins, Patsy Cline, Gene Vincent (and of course his Blue Caps), and last but not least the incomparable Bill Monroe.
Sounds Like: Think Hank Williams Sr. in the back seat of a Cadillac just after new years 1953, or that first Sun recording session where Elvis met Bill Black and Scotty Moore in 1954, or Carl Perkins and his brothers setting up in an Arkansas honky tonk with sawdust on the floor, or Bill Monroe and his Bluegrass Boys playing in Cincinnati for the first time and really lettin’ loose, or Gene Vincent crooning to some rockabilly kitten he knows he’s gonna score with after the show, or all those late 1950’s rockabilly wild men who got the beat from Elvis, recorded those ultra-revved up county tunes, but died in obscurity.
Type of Label: None
