Rockabilly had its roots in country, blues, folk, hillbilly, R&B, boogie-woogie and most other Deep South forms of popular song that you could strum three chords along to or yowl down a cheap microphone. It was young people's music, made almost entirely by the first wave of teenagers, despised by adults in general and the country music establishment in particular.
A spontaneous outburst of spirited songs, tiny record labels, primitive studios, fiercely partisan audiences and wild-eyed, many performers weren't even sure their musical careers would last the week. Rockabilly has had a love/hate relationship with the mainstream ever since Elvis became respectable in the eyes of straight society, but with drink, drugs, sex, guns and mayhem, A Rocket in My Pocket is a rhythm-heavy introduction to an indispensable genre.
