This episode deals with rockabilly, that combination of rhythm & blues and country & western (or "Hillbilly") music that emerged in Sam Phillip's Sun Records studio and elsewhere in the early and mid-'50s. Sun Records artists such as Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis will be the focus but we'll also look at other approaches to rockabilly from artists such as Buddy Holly and the Everly Brothers.
