Rockabilly Heritage Keeps the Genre Strong 60 Years Later

Given the influence that rockabilly music has had on the world of pop music, it's pretty surprising how short the life span of original-generation rockabilly was. The music that spawned rock and roll and inspired everyone from the Beatles to Bruce Springsteen and is still inspiring a new generation of rockers today was really only at the top of the charts for a short five- or six-year period from 1954 when Elvis changed everything with "That's All Right" through to 1959 or 1960 when music fans' tastes began to change and the big record companies started to put polish on its rock stars. But the genre has survived because of modern artists who consistently breathe new life into the old music.
