The Queen of Rockabilly, Wanda Jackson is in the Twin Cities tonight for a show at the MN Zoo, along with Justin Townes Earle.

Just what is rockabilly? The dictionary defines it as, "a style of popular music combining the features of rock-'n'-roll and hillbilly music."

So, I thought we oughta have a little "rockabilly party" for today's Honey-do! We'll check out tracks from Elvis, the Cramps, Marshall Crenshaw and some of your ideas, as well...
