Rollin and Tumbling!

Rockabilly always says Texas to me. So to hear Irish singer Imelda May doing it made me do a double take. I was surfing the channels one night and came across her on Live From Abbey Road. If you haven't seen this show, its worth the effort to find it. Various artists are brought in and filmed during recording sessions and the famous landmark.

I had not heard of Imelda before, but I have the feeling everyone else has. A refreshing throwback to the 50s, I found her style quite intriguing. I probably would not have believed she was Irish if I had not heard the brogue myself.

Although she does mostly rockabilly, she manages to pull off Muddy Waters Rollin And Tumbling quite well. The second vid, Proud and Humble was filmed during the Live From Abbey Road gig. Enjoy!
