"Weird Al" Yankovic in 3-D (often referred to simply as In 3-D) is the second studio album by the American parody musician "Weird Al" Yankovic, released on February 28, 1984, by #RocknRollRecords. The album was one of many produced by former #McCoys guitarist #RickDerringer. Recorded between October and December 1983, the album was Yankovic's follow-up to his modestly successful debut LP, "Weird Al" Yankovic. The album is built around parodies.

“Ewww, Dad. Rockabilly?” asked my youngest who apparently liked the idea of walking back to Germany from London.

Hope you like to swim, Broseph.

But seriously, I’m a fan of rockabilly. Maybe not rockabilly this old, though I do appreciate the history and its significance to the musical development of acts that I REALLY enjoy, but it’s still a fun time.

Also, feel free to correct me, but isn’t Gene Vincent the first person outside of, say, the regretful minstrel shows and blackface eras of vaudeville and big band that wore what is basically a costume?

I mean, call suits and blazers what you want, but I don’t really count them as COSTUMES unless you’re talking about Patrick Bateman. But before Vincent, that was what everyone was wearing.

Even Link Wray - who famously looked like a badass - got his first hit AFTER Vincent.

Even ELVIS wore blazers and suits back then.

Am I wicked uninformed on my musical history here?

Anyway, yes. I like rockabilly. It’s always weird to think you could hear the… youth of music, but it’s undeniable. The music is faster than anything that came before. It oozed more energy. It worries more parents. It was aimed SQUARELY at kids.

It’s undeniable.

And the musicianship is so good. Guys that cut their teeth playing country and maybe sneaking off to the side to play “black” music (much to the chagrin of their families - just ask at Les Paul) melded supposedly separate genres and came up with something so delightfully American it’s a joy to listen to.

America may be a lot of really shitty things, but it has ALWAYS brought the heat when it came to music and this is no exception.

Rockabilly’s mix of fast-paced rhythm and blues and country tricks makes for a delightful listening experience and I don’t think I’ll ever stop loving it.
