ROCKABILLY CENTRAL

A big tip of the pompadour goes to this clearinghouse site for rockabilly music and culture with an amazing appreciation for the rip-roarin' sounds of hollow-body guitars and climbing bass lines. RC is stuffed with info on bands, tours, and links to rockabilly- related recreation (tattoos, cars, on- and off-line radio). Don't cruise past the site's trump card -- album reviews organized by genre (including surf, neo, and vintage), and summaries of five decades of rock & roll movies -- all written in a coolly accessible style. Note: bowling shirt recommended. A
