The Rockabilly Hall of Fame is primarily a website, with a one-person office in Burns, Tennessee, an old railroad town with a population of 1300 about 30 miles west of Nashville. The Hall of Fame office is in the legendary Burns Station Sound building, a little known active recording studio with a rich history. A trade magazine first printed the term 'rockabilly' in June of 1956, but it wasn’t until later when performers started using the term. One definition of rockabilly is "blends of the blues, country and gospel that were prevalent, through the 1950's, mixed with rock and roll". Carl Perkins' definition is, "a country man's song with a black man's rhythm.” Elvis Presley, Ricky Nelson, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Bill Haley & The Comets, Roy Orbison, The Everly Brothers, Chuck Berry, Eddie Cochran, Buddy Holly and Gene Vincent are some rockabilly famous performers among the 5,000 artists' names on the web site. Rockabilly is known as timeless music and versions of it are still recored today.
Although no real museum exhibits, the building is interesting and has rare and unusual rockabilly CDs for sale - stuff you won't find in record stores. It's 'normally' open every day except holidays.
