Is there anything more classic than Mystery Train? I'm a big early Elvis fan, Scotty Moore blows me away! My baby Left Me is another of my all time favorites.

I've been working the rockabilly stuff on my iPod to death the last few months. trying (without great success0 to figure out how to improv rockabilly stuff...

So many great suggestions already to choose from!!

Reverend Heat is a great nod to modern stuff that borders on punk. He really gets me going. Setzers stuff is amazing and I love all of the stuff that's not orchestral... I like some of the big band swing type stuff, but it ain't really rockabilly to me, more like pre-billy.

Carl Perkins' version of Honey Don't is another simple classic, maybe you could take some of the licks you've been workin' on and work out a longer solo?

I need to go pluck on my gretsch a bit now....
