Rockabilly's marriage of black and white styles was no unprecedented, but full stylistic miscegenation dates from Elvis Presley's first release on Sam Phillips's Sun Records. Soon rockabillies were coming out of the woodwork: white boys from Norfolk (Gene Vincent), Lubbock (Buddy Holly), and everywhere in between, but most from within a couple of hundred miles of Memphis, where the influence of black music was strongest—for example, Conway Twitty (Friars Point, Mississippi), Carl Perkins (Tiptonville, Tennessee), Johnny Cash (Kingsland, Arkansas), Jerry Lee Lewis (Ferriday, Louisiana), Johnny and Dorsey Burnette (Memphis), and Charlie Rich (Colt, Arkansas). Those from elsewhere, like Roy Orbison (Vernon, Texas) and the Everly Brothers (Brownie, Kentucky) tended to have noticeably "whiter" styles. As the fifties ended, so did rockabilly: Buddy Holly died, Elvis was drafted, Jerry Lee was ostracized for marrying his cousin. Most old rockabillies turned to pop, country, or generic rock and roll, but English revival groups and a few touring performers like Sleepy LaBeef keep the faith alive. This selection comes from Rounder Records' collection of also-rans who recorded at Sun Studios. Here Billy Riley and his Little Green Men sing their 1958 never-made-it Flyin' Saucer Rock and Roll.
