Rockin' Bones: 1950's Punk & Rockabilly is a 2006 4CD box set focusing on the roots of rock & roll through rockabilly and the attitude involved that helped to form what became punk rock. This was released by Rhino.

Bear's Sonic Journals: Dawn of the New Riders of the Purple Sage is a live album by the country rock band the New Riders of the Purple Sage. It was recorded at various venues in the San Francisco Bay Area from August 1969 to June 1970. It was released on January 17, 2020.

As a musical term, 'psychobilly' probably dates from the late 1970s and the emergence of bands like the Cramps, who blended punk with '50s rockabilly to create something that was pretty much the musical equivalent of outsider art. Today, however, it's music that prefigured the punks by 15 years that concerns us, a rich seam that's explored on this 2-CD set. Many of these artists were 'one-hit wonders' who never actually had a hit, garage bands that never left the garage, beatniks who didn't like jazz and surfers who never went near an ocean! This is music that was thrashed out by mavericks, misfits and outcasts!

Rock & roll exploded in the '50s onto a cultural landscape that was so uptight and repressed as to be unrecognizable today, even to those who lived through it. Everything – from the clothes young people wore to the music they listened to to the money they spent – was a hard-fought statement, because no youth group before those '50s teenagers ever had that kind of freedom and did something with it. Pop music was bland, bland, bland (just like it is now) and the bigger and badder and bolder rock & roll became, the more of a threat it was to the status-quo squares who banned it every chance they got. You couldn't listen to it, you couldn't dance to it at your school, concerts in public places were banned, and artists were often jailed for performing it in public.
