Rockabilly set lists / fave tracks ?

[Flat357]

Anyone into Rockabilly ?

I go through phases with music , and one minute i'm listening to a particular style , then i'll hear a track / artist from a different genre , and boom , i'm hooked

This morning I was playing blues and country stuff , and later watched Dave Gilmour on the tv....cool

Well a few hours ago , I rediscovered the great Lee Rocker , aka Stray Cats bassist , and checked out his best of album on the net called burnin' love , or something like that .
It always seems to excite me when I hear great rockabilly guitar , so I figured I would throw the net out , and find out what you guys dig about this style , and hopefully get some great leads .

Any great tracks you wanna let me know about so I can set about building an exciting repertoire ?

Thanks in advance

Again thanks guys .

I guess what i'm hoping for is more modern versions of great songs , and especially virtuoso guitaring .
I'm also very fond of the use of the augmented / diminished runs found in more modern day rockabilly .
I also love swingy stuff and boogies
20 flight rock / red hot / 13 women / sneakin' around etc are some of the type of tracks i've had to cover in the past and also the setzeresque stuff is pretty cool .
