Usually I prefer a sax in rockabilly oldies. Maybe Sonny and the boys wanted one but could only find a trumpet player. Whatever, it works and shows me that there are no definite rules in music and not to be too prejudicial.

I met Sonny and the Pacers last night at VIVA. Got autographs and my very own signed SUN Records plaque with Red Headed Woman as the title song. Talk about awe struck!

@Ezdduf4kuZ in the southern united states: west virginia, virginia, tennessee (naturally), mississippi, louisianna, kentucky, north and south carolina, georgia, florida, texas to name a few. basically where country music was big, rockabilly was big.

Not too often you hear a trumpet in Rockabilly. Mr. Burgess and the Pacers sure pulled it off! If you don't at least start tapping your feet when hearing this song, you must be dead!

This has gotta be the original, i's been covered by The Tramps in the eighties and again by Bruce Sprinsteen in the ninties. There ususally is something about the original, in that it usually has what it takes, but not always and not always will people agree with the fact. The younger the more they'll sigh with the updated version, like the other version is old fashion, I will agree with the older sounding ones like Baby Face, where a younger Bobby revitalized it, in a way I couldn't resist.
