Other important influences on rockabilly include western swing and boogie woogie. The term "rockabilly" itself is a portmanteau of "rock" (from "rock 'n' roll") and "hillbilly", the latter a reference to the country music (often called "hillbilly music" in the 1940s and 1950s) that contributed strongly to the style's development. As a genre it blends the sound of American folk and Western musical styles, such as country and bluegrass, with that of rhythm and blues, leading to what is considered "classic" rock and roll.Some have also described it as a blend of the bluegrass style with rock and roll. Rockabilly is one of the earliest styles of rock and roll music, dating to the early 1950s in the United States, especially the South.
