Well, as I mentioned on the 'recommend me some rockabilly' thread, a lot of what I've been listening has been on those compliations put out by Ace Records. But also more obvious stuff like Buddy Holly (is there really a more exciting sound than the guitar break in 'Peggy Sue'?) In terms of other individual artists, then it'd be people like George Jones - whose song 'Rock It' may actually be that rival to BH's 'Peggy Sue' - and the brilliantly named Sleepy La Beef. Also, more obviously, the Sun stuff recorded by Carl Perkins and, of course, Elvis.
