For my money the best band to come out of the UK for a long time....

Their sound is so authentic it’s fooled a lot of people into thinking they were listening to original recordings from the late 40s/early 50s.
To echo Chas’s point - strictly speaking this isn’t “rockabilly” of course but “Hillbilly” - Country music c.1945-55, on the cusp of spawning rockabilly (for me “rockabilly” means the stripped-down form of this music - no steel no fiddle - popularized by Elvis, Carl Perkins etc from the mid 50s)

Count me as into 1950s rock and roll/rockabilly too. My favorites are the following:
Bill Haley & The Comets (One of the most fun groups to listen to)
Johnny Cash (I like his more country work too)
Duane Eddy (twangy guitar, what's not to like about his style?)
Elvis Presley (Almost self explanatory, but I like his vocal style and music)
Buddy Holly (Another great, iconic artist of the 1950s, good vocals and music)
Ebay, ebay, ebay. Or alternatively, Etsy, Etsy, Etsy. Nearly all my vintage comes from those two places and is far cheaper than repro.
I used to dig Holly, Haley, and Presley as well, along with Setzer. I caught this video about a month ago...the tune and the showmanship (for 1960) is incredible. As one of my friends said: "It's like they wrote the book on rock"

...I'm assuming the drummer is a jazz-head.

Lately I've been listening to a lot of early rockabilly like Maddox Borther & Rose, Hardrock Gunter, Johnny Jano.
This is my favorite song, at the moment.[video=youtube;nITyNIb98Y0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nITyNIb98Y0[/video]
