Looking for some obscure older rockabilly?

I'm looking to expand my Rockabilly collection. In particular, I'd like some of the more-country leaning groups.

    Maybe what you might be looking for is a genre of music called Western Swing. That mixes Jazz and Country together and it was around even before Rockabilly/50's Rock n' Roll, but it's a lot like Rock n' Roll/Rockabilly.

    Here's some Western Swing artists you may already know about -

    Les Paul and after that Chet Atkins -

    Since I know you liked that singer called Buck Naked & his band from my hometown city in the midwest I mentioned about before, I have a feeling you might like this guy. He's more Country than Rockabilly but I'm guessing you'll like him -

    Phil Baugh -

    Perhaps you'd like this guy too -

    Red Foley with Grady Martin -

    Speedy West and Jimmy Bryant -

    There's someone else who's Western Swing that I can't remember the name of at this moment of whom I haven't got yet, that a friend of mine who's been in some Punk bands had told me about. Next time I see him I have to ask him who that was.

    Here's a group that's not quite near as old as those other guys that I brought up on my questions a while back -
