MEMPHIS ROCK'n'ROLL

VA - In The Shadow Of Sun,  Memphis Area R&B And Rock'n'Roll [2014] (3 x CD's)

Compiled and annotated by R&B and rock & roll authority Dave Penny, the 3CD set In The Shadow Of Sun is a mighty 101-track survey of the rockin records released on indie labels in Memphis and environs in the wake of the success of Sun Records By 1950, the population of Memphis had increased to 400,000 residents and the time was ripe to test the waters for home-grown independent record labels to cater to the local population and, more importantly, to provide the area s semi-professional artists with an outlet for their creativity without the need to travel to Nashville, Chicago or further. Duke Records was formed in 1952 by David J. Mattis, but was soon subsumed by Houston s Peacock Records. Sam Phillips first joint-venture with his friend, DJ Dewey Phillips, had stiffed after just one release in 1950, persuading him to spend the next few years leasing his local recordings to established West Coast and mid-west labels. His subsequent success with Sun Records in 1953, however, would break the curse of Memphis and open the floodgates to dozens of other would-be Sams intent on finding their own local heroes. Early entrants in the Memphis indie stakes included David Mattis, returning with the Starmaker imprint, while two West Coast operations, Ekko and Modern, both opened Memphis outlets (the latter creating the dedicated Meteor label). In their wake came OJ, Von (based over the state line in Mississippi), Peak, the cheekily-titled Moon, House of Sound, Atomic, Jaxon, Sure, Lu, Hill Crest, Hornet, Benton, Sky (another Mississippi label), Erwin, Katche, Kay, Crystal, Cathey, Hut, F&L, Rita, Skipper, Stomper Time, Blues Boy Kingdom (formed by B.B. King), Kim and Ardent (which would enjoy considerable when reactivated in 1966). If most of those labels are hardly household names, then it s no surprise that with a few exceptions, like Joe Hill Louis, Johnny Burnette, Little Milton, Carl Mann, Roosevelt Sykes, Wink Martindale, Willie Mitchell and Charlie Feathers, the artists are equally obscure, which is precisely why their releases have come to be treasured by successive generations of collectors, and why In The Shadow Of Sun will be welcomed with open arms by lovers of rhythm and rock! (Amazon)

Another great album well packaged and well researched. To even attempt now days to get these tracks on vinyl unless you're very wealthy would take years. Many of the artists are known but there is more than enough boppers n rarities to keep any collector and new comer to rocking very happy.
