VA - Essential Sun Rockabilly, Volumes 1 - 6 (1996-1999) (6 x CDs)

Charly Records Essential Sun Rockabillies series contains many of the classic tracks associated with the legendary Memphis label, but also highlights some of the more obscure songs from Sun's vast catalog. These are the original recordings from the 1950s and early 1960s, featuring some of the most influential artists of the genre, such as Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison, and Charlie Feathers. You will hear classic hits that defined the rockabilly sound, such as “Put Your Cat Clothes On”, “Red Hot”, “Ooby Dooby”, and “Bottle To The Baby”. You will also discover rare gems that showcase the diversity and creativity of rockabilly music, such as “Tennessee Zip”, “Mad Man”, “Milkshake Mademoiselle”, and “Just In Time”. These songs range from rocking to ballads, from humorous to serious, from famous to obscure.

The sound quality is excellent throughout, thanks to the remastering by Peter Rynston. The tracks are well-selected and cover a wide range of styles and moods, from the wild and frantic to the smooth and romantic. You will also enjoy the detailed liner notes by Adam Komorowski, who provides some interesting background information on each track and artist. The packaging is attractive and includes photos of the performers. This collection is a must-have for any rockabilly enthusiast or anyone who appreciates the roots of rock and roll.

This collection is also a tribute to the vision and innovation of Sam Phillips, the founder of Sun Records, who gave a voice to many talented artists who shaped the history of music. He was the first to record many of these singers and musicians, who were often unknown or rejected by other labels. He encouraged them to experiment with different sounds and genres, creating a unique musical style that influenced generations of artists.

If you want to experience the best of rockabilly music, then these 150 songs from the legendary Sun Records label released by the Charley Record will make you dance, sing, laugh, and cry. It will also make you appreciate the rich musical heritage that Sun Records has left us. (B)
