Hello Rocksmith fans!
Today’s DLC is all about Rockabilly and there’s a definite surprise in the mix.
We had already confirmed Carl Perkins Blue Suede Shoes and joining him are four other tracks such as Ricky Nelson’s Hello Mary Lou (Goodbye Heart), Gene Vincent and His Blue Caps’ Be-Bop-A-Lula, Brian Setzer’s Rock This Town (2010 solo re-record) and yes even Queen’s Crazy Little Thing Called Love!
It’s rare to have a Rocksmith 2014 DLC that has songs ranging from 1956, 1957, 1961, 1980, and 1982! How’s that for some variety. Be-Bop-A-Lula may be the oldest song ever used in a music game period.
Also, guess what? They are all E Standard, no vari-speed for these hip cats.

Are you excited to hone your skills on these classic rockabilly tunes? Or is this just not something you are digging? Let us know!
MORE!!!!
Awesome pack. Though I have lost respect for YouTube banning blue suede shoes. Seriously??
This was a fun pack speaking as someone who only plays bass but I really want a funk pack. How about a few times a year we have dlc weeks that cater to bassists?
I’ll take anything form any of the fore mentioned groups
Ubisoft how about a GRUNGE PACK!!!!
Soundgarden – Slaves & Bulldozers
Pearljam – Rearview Mirror
Nirvana – Anueraism
Alice in Chains – Rooster
You want Nirvana to get a single over a five pack?
Either way
This is an awesome pack right up with the blues pack. Love it abd need more of the diversity.
I would love the theme song to Ren and Stimpy. Happily buy this.
So now we have something monstrous, and some unusual animals to look forward to this month. I do hope it is Arctic Monkeys. Seems unlikely that they would release Def Leopard along side the something monstrous.
Depending on if you go by the date arranged or the date of the original composition, I think Bachsmith could be considered older.
The big deal is a licensed track from 1956.
Rocksmith maybe, but not “any music game ever”. That would be Cry Cry Cry from Rock Band (1955)
INSTA-BUY for me. Pleasant surprises. More Queen. Brian Setzer. Booyah.
Now I want a Rockabilly 2 with some RHH, more Brian Setzer / Stray Cats, and maybe Bill Haley & His Comets. Maybe in a few months. 🙂
For some metalbilly, if you guys aren’t digging.. check out High Speed Dirt by Megadeth
This pack will be downloaded. Thanks you guys for all the Reverend Horton Heat drops! Definitely cool!
Now I want more…
Bee bop a lula oldest song??????? erm have we forgotten Bachsmith so soon (okay technically not a song but….)
Bachsmith is re-imagined. This is an original track from 1956
i feel i need a double bass really for most of these
I felt the same way, especially on “rock this town” although I prefer the original stray cats version. This version seems to have lost a few bass notes. Thankfully RS doesn’t penalize my score for adding them back in. Lol
Probably just gonna pick up Setzer and Queen, but great pack!! 🙂
