Rockabilly?....eh no. This is Hillbilly Boogie. Any self respecting young Rockabilly/Rock'n'Roller in 1955 would not have listened to this hayseed tune. It did not attract young listeners at the time. It does rock along nicely though. A great track.
@@cooldaddy2877 I don't know if there's any difference between Rockabilly and Hillbilly Boogie. I love the hard slap bass and the whining steel 🎸! And the lyrics are gorgeous!
@@jurivlk5433 oh there certainly is a difference. Fiddles, as a loose rule, do not form part of Rockabilly. The plodding boogie rhythm and steel guitar, along with the "Juke Joint" vocals marks this track as Hillbilly Boogie. Its a great track though.....one of the best. It was heavily played at Rock'n'Roll clubs in Britain and Ireland in the late 70's and early 80's.
@@cooldaddy2877 I do know this tune since the 80s, from an excellent swiss(!) radio programm -probably the only good swiss radio programm ever! The stomping rhythm is a lot like Sun Studios Rockabilly, kinda Malcolm Yelvington. Ferlin Husky was mainly known as a very good immitator with several artist names. I love this song because I really do imagine his whole story: "There's a sixty miles limit from coast to coast and a highway cop behind each cedar post..." And: " If the Lord would have wanted you to go that fast, he had give housings to fly!" I love this 65 year young tune!
@@jurivlk5433 I would say that the production and sound quality on this track is superior to Sun. Most Sun tracks are of a very basic sound quality unfortunately. Ferlin was a true gentleman. I met him in the late fifties.
I like the cars in the clip too.
One of the best Rockabilly tunes ever -and so educational! "" If the lord had wanted to go that fast he'd give you wings to fly!"
