With a name like "rockabilly" it's no surprise that the early rockers also made a splash in the country charts of the 1950s. After all, the "billy" part of the name comes from the fact that country music of that era was often called "hillbilly music" and many of the early rockabilly performers came from backgrounds heavily influenced by country music. Often they had played country before turning to rockabilly, but in virtually all cases, they grew up with country music (along with blues, R&B, and gospel music) all around them. It's also not surprising then that many of the early rockabilly songs found their way up toward the top of both the pop and country charts.
