Just discovered Bloodshot Bill….

If there ever was a Rockabilly Surf fusion , BB would definitely be it…!

Songs from the Sludge is an amazing album of mostly instrumental tracks…..

DIG!

I'll have to find that album - everything I'm hearing on youtube sounds pretty straight-ahead rockabilly to me.

Rockabilly and surf go together great. My current surfish band started out as an offshoot of a rockabilly band 25 years ago. We always did a 3-4 tune surf/instrumental warmup each set anyway. So we just started doing some gigs as a 4-piece without the main singer, who looked and sang like Gene Vincent. Even now, we mix rockabilly and other twangy/punky/trashy stuff with surf at will. But surf dominates.

yes Bloodshot is mostly straight up Rockabilly, but this album is all instros…

I always thought Rockabilly and Surf were very close cousins…they both are rooted in the blues … Delay being the defining sound for Rockabilly and Reverb for Surf
