Once a month, every third Monday, we'll be back in the fifties, taking a look at that crazy little thing called rockabilly. You'll hear a bit of the familiar and a whole lot of the obscure as we roll up the rug and unravel the roots - showing that rockabilly was much, much more than Elvis, Carl Perkins, Gene Vincent and Jerry Lee Lewis.

Although I will be playing records from my own stack of shellac and vinyl, the heart of this monthly feature will be the definitive Rockabilly collection, That'll Flat Git It!, a 26 CD series from one of the world's premier reissue labels, Bear Family Records. Click here for more on that great series.

We'll have a continuing archive of playlists from past RRRU's on this page so you can track the progress of the series.

And, check out this short audio clip of yours truly, in conversation about my own continuing discovery of rockabilly.

That's once a month, every third Monday, for Roy's Rockabilly Round-Up on Roooooy's Record Room.
