Rockabilly is one of the earliest styles of rock and roll music, and emerged in the early 1950s.
The term rockabilly is a portmanteau of rock (from rock 'n' roll) and hillbilly, the latter a reference
to the country music (often called hillbilly music in the 1940s and 1950s) that contributed strongly
to the style's development. Other important influences on rockabilly include western swing,
boogie woogie, and rhythm and blues. While there are notable exceptions, its origins
lie primarily in the Southern United States...
JACKKNIFE Rockabilly Trio was formed in 2001 in Rostov-on-Don - the "capitol"
of Russian South.
Playing rockabilly in small clubs and big open-air stages, JACKKNIFE began to ride with gigs
all over the country. Also they started to work with another artists as back-up band.
The band became popular among rock-n-roll fans in Russia.
Authentic JACKKNIFE' style is basic on music of artists as Bill Haley,
Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry etc.
JACKKNIFE Rockabilly Trio was the first group all over russian south,
which started to perform own versions of the 50’s classic rockabilly
and rhythm&blues tunes with the fresh sound,
fresh arrangements and energetic, emotionally attractive performance...
