Wonderful work with fabulous double stops and tone. Not hard to do, really - but very imaginative and executed like a madman.

+1 Grady Martin is the MAN !! he recorded with alot of the greats, including some fantastic stuff with Johnny Horton.

Also look into Glen Glenn, and Eddie Bond. fantastic songs and cool picking

The Humbler has some great covers on it. I enjoy playing (attemping to play?) rhythm along side that fabulous picking of Danny Gatton's.

I learned my meager Rockabilly skills from a Fred Sokolow Rockabilly DVD that I borrowed from Netflix. Matchbox by Perkins is a good start. Stray Cat Strut is something that I've been working on for years now, I guess.
