1950's Time Capsule
This documentary focuses on the subculture of rockabilly music and its very avid enthusiasts. Most of the film appears to have been shot at the annual Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend, held at the Orleans Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Rockabilly music emerged in the early to mid 1950's, and is often described as a combination of country music and blues. As one rockabilly musician states the Vegas get-together is a "nostalgic salute to a quaint slice of Americana and how it's like being trapped in a 1950's time capsule". The heart of the documentary is really the love of the genre by its enthusiasts, where they can feel the unconditional acceptance of their peers. They thrive in the rockabilly culture of music, classic cars, pin-up modeling, nostalgic hair styles, and tattoos. All in all, this documentary, directed by Brent Huff, meanders at times but I enjoyed the trip down memory lane and the heartfelt love of rockabilly by its fans.
Great story about a niche topic
I went into this knowing nothing about rockabilly (other than Elvis) or anything that comes with that lifestyle. What I saw was a surprisingly and supremely entertaining doc slice of Americana. I like learning about new things and new cultures, and this was light, funny, and filled with interesting characters and fun music. I didn't realize how seriously people take this stuff and it was fascinating to watch how meticulously they make their hair and how beautiful their look makes them feel. I had no idea Drake Bell was into this, although in retrospect it now makes total sense. You see a good deal of him in the flick, so if you're a fan, it's definitely worth checking out. The rest of the cast, I'm not sure how popular they are outside of the rockabilly world, but it doesn't really matter because they're all interesting. Jimmy Angel was a shortstop for the Yankees ions ago and how his best friend is a teddy bear. You can't make this stuff up. Brent Huff, the director, does a great job keeping the film moving. It never gets dull, and really can't with this kind of subject, but it never dwells too long on one thing and he does a good job of showing how diverse this crowd is and showing off the idiosyncrasies of these people and some of the fun parties and events they have for themselves. It's similar to Comic-Con, if you're into that. They seem to be very open and welcoming to outsiders. But if you're into colorful characters and colorful costumes - and completely non-fictional, there's no reason you shouldn't enjoy "It's a Rockabilly World". In fact, it's worth it just for the music. That's the reason I watched it in the first place. I figured the music would be good. And I wasn't disappointed. Check it out! It's a fun time.
Rockabilly World is Awesome

The Music is amazing. The Rockabillies are very Interesting. These guys have really cool outfits. The women are Awesome. They are very classy Pin Up Models. The music will get you out of your seat. Live Guitar Drum and Bass. The Cars are really cool to see. Cool engines, and paint jobs. There's so much to learn about this lifestyle!!! You will learn so much about it's history and what being a Rockabilly is all about. This Documentary has everything you could ask for. It's A Rockabilly World is a Great Film.
Different / random but absolutely fun!
I can see why people would criticize this movie negatively but I personally loved it! It's different from most styles of doc, but absolutely fun!! I really liked that they didn't only focus on the music aspect of the subculture, as most would have. Instead, they touched a little of everything about the subculture of Rockabilly in the modern day. I also liked that they showed/interviewed every different type of rockabilly enthusiast from the professional (Cramps) to the randoms at the events to Drake Bell. It was also cool to see the comments the record producers had about the subculture and the music. They had a lot of relations to people who are true rockabilly!! Overall a good/fun/random doc!
A Rockin' Trip through the Rockabilly Scene
Loved this documentary! I've always been obsessed with learning about different countercultures and this film did not disappoint. Thought provoking in places, funny in others - it took me through the Rockabilly scene as it is today and back to its roots. The film is full of colorful personalities and great music. It covers both the light and dark side of these dare to be different Rockabillies. As a punk in the 80s when the Rockabilly scene was reviving, I knew some people who were into it, but didn't truly understand it until now. Great direction, editing, sound and color - its well worth 90 minutes to see why Rockabilly attracts people to the bygone era of the 50s in the new millennium. Watch it!
