OK, first off: there isn't even one proper "album" on this list, only collections, mainly because these artists put out singles rather than albums, so please accept my humble apologies. Secondly, perhaps Link Wray isn't technically rockabilly, but he fits in well with this group of artists both in attitude and intensity; he's another Southern pioneer of early Rock and Roll.
Great list, although I would have to add a Buddy Holly collection in there somewhere...
Shalom, y'all!
