I don't. My guess is that they're all from the fifties. But don't ask me, ask mr. google - UFO. He'll work his goggle-o and he'll know.

I certainly know rockabilly when I hear it, and I know of no examples of it beyond 1959. Haven't you heard of Shakin' Stevens?

I really don't know (if all the songs on the Sin Alley comps are from the 50s or 60s) -- but I'd say a little of both. I haven't really listened to these much of at all. I certainly know rockabilly when I hear it -- without having to Google, Mr Leedee! And I know of no examples of it beyond 1959.

Remember in the '80s when, if you listened to '60s garage, people would ask "Do I have to drag you kicking & screaming into the '80s?". Sounds even funnier now than it did then.
Froggy is a killer 50s rockabilly, not sure who it's by. I could easily find out if I got off my arse & went through the CD shelf. Heard that one Peter?
Danny Dell - Froggie Went A Courtin'

Yeah I listened to that song for about four days straight when I first heard it.
