Rockabilly Hwy. Revival Music Review-Tennessee Music Highway This Weekend

Rockabilly music was in the air this weekend. The 7th Annual Rockabilly Hwy Revival Music Review  in Selmer, Tennessee,  featured Rockabilly legendary drummer W.S. Holland (drummer for Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash) and Stan Perkins older son  of Carl Perkins and a legendary performer in his own right.

The event took place last night, beginning at 7 p.m., at the McNairy County Visitors  Center Theater in downtown Selmer.  The facility was near capacity as at  least two hundred people were on hand for all of the great music. Selmer is on the Rockabilly Highway, named for the music that was made famous by Elvis, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lewis, Johnny Cash and others who often performed at locations on this highway (officially Hwy. 45 South).

It was history in the making and everyone seemed to really enjoy hearing Blue Suede Shoes, Match Box and other great tunes!

The organizers also had planned a color run/walk and car show!  This was the second event for me and I really enjoyed it. Irvin Rainey, Jr., and many others did too!  Mark your calendars next year!

I hope everyone has a safe trip home from the CMA Music Festival and Bonnaroo Music Festival, that wraps up today. Enjoy your week and great music. Thank you for your letters and comments!
