Smutty Smith: One Kool Kat

Welllll... if 1954 was the year Rockabilly was born, 1978 was definitetly the year it got a fresh shot in the arm from England's own "Levi and The Rockats". It was the start of a new Rockabilly revolution in the UK and the US and The Rockats got the ball rolling. I recently caught up with their legendary standup bassman Smutty Smith in Hollywood while he was hosting a party at   Sweeny Todd's Barbershop to promote  J.S. Sloane ,  his recent line of hair pomade . He was in town to play Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend , where 20,000 kids lined up to hear The Rockats perform.
