I have a fever and the only cure is Rockabilly music, so if you wonderful people would like to share as I'm drawing a blank on any specific bands it would be appreciated.

I love Rockabilly (the music, not the former Billy Gunn gimmick).

Well, I was going to list some, but I would have probably been listing most of the big names from that list. So since I'm lazy, I just thought it would be easier for that to be my list.
Also, I probably wouldn't be naming anything you wouldn't already be familier with.

Didn't Rob Zombie do a rockabilly album?
Also, do the Stray Cats count as rockabilly?

I would count the Stray Cats.
Speaking of Stray Cats, Brian Setzer played Eddie Cochran in La Bamba. Cochran is a good Rockabilly artist.

Zombie would've done a Psychobilly album Syd, which, as Opty pointed out to me, is what Reverend Horton Heat classifies as.

Speaking of Eddie Cochran, he's god. Seriously one of my favorite musicians ever. Funny quote about him, apparently Ringo Star was going to go see him at some big show but, you know, he ded. Ringo says he never forgave Eddie for that.

Bikini Girls with Machine Guns is the coolest concept ever. Did you know their lead singer, Lux Interior died on the 4th of this month?

Aw man, I didn't know he died. That's a fucking bummer.
I'll blast some "Haul ass Hyena" for the man. RIP.

Stray cat Strut is both easy and fun to play on the guitar / bass.
