Top 15 youTube Rockin' Gals


There seem to be more female performers on the rockin' scene now than ever before and to quote one of the greatest, Barbara Pittman, they're getting better all the time. Here's 15 hot performances with apologies to any I've missed out.

Marti Brom - Black Cadillac

To me, still the cream of the crop, Marti Brom gives a scorching version from the 10th Rockabilly Rave in March 2005.

Vicky Tafoya - Why Do Fools Fall In Love
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlmb3eaZXvw
With her backing band, the Big Beat, live at The Rhythm Riot 2004. With a voice to match her look, she's the Marie Adams of the new Millennium.

Cari Lee & The Saddle-Ites - Eenie Meenie Miney Mo

Hot version with great sound. I love these country-girl outfits.

Catslappin' Crissy - Rock My Baby

New one on me but goes like the clappers.

Miss Mary Ann & the Ragtime Wranglers - Watchdog

Imelda May - Johnny's Got A Boom Boom

From the Old Joint Stock Theatre in Birmingham, April 2008, Imelda hypnotises with her band that includes hubby Darrel Higham and the great Al Gare on bass.

Josie Kreuzer - Good Time Girl

Always enjoyable, but where is Josie Kreuzer these days?

Kim Lenz - The Swing

Great cover of my favourite Johnny Carroll song from the Hollywood Showdown 8.

Lil Esther and her Tinstars - Rock Boppin Baby

The Edwin Bruce bopper get's a fitting tribute from the wonderful Lil Esther at the Rockers Club Festival 2008.

More than just a pretty face, Sue Moreno gives a hot performance of the Ricky Nelson number at the 2007 Rockabilly Rave. Did I mention hot?

Ruby Ann & Eddie Clendening - Hoy Hoy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jzm-5UH4nok
Duet from the New Years Party 2008 at the Amsterdam Cruise Inn. They burn up the Collins Kid classic with two dymanic guitar solos from Eddie Clendening.
