The Return Of Friday Night Is Rockabilly Night 138


We're going to a wedding tomorrow. It won't be a rockabilly wedding but I hope Dave makes a bit more effort than the groom pictured above. A suit wouldn't have gone amiss.

Mel Robbins recorded Save It in the 1950s, making the short hop from honky tonk to rockabilly- that bandwagon won't be around for long, better get on board. Save It is piano led with a thumping solo and a giggly, hiccuping, heavy breathing vocal.

Save It

The Cramps covered it, slowing it down, ramping up the heavy breathing and adding a distinct air of sexual tension. This fan made video is very good.

Excellent. Some great piano, and when that middlew section piano finishes and the guitar starts, a great moment.
