This is the CD companion to the PBS documentary GOOD ROCKIN' TONIGHT: THE LEGACY OF SUN RECORDS.

Based on the PBS documentary "Good Rockin' Tonight: The Legacy Of Sun Records," this compendium features mostly baby boomer acts paying tribute to the legendary Memphis recording studio widely credited as being the cradle of rock & roll. Appropriately produced by Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun, this stellar collection is rife with '60s and '70s rockers, kicking off with Paul McCartney ripping into Arthur Crudup's pioneering "That's All Right" with help from former Elvis sidemen Scotty Moore and D.J. Fontana. Jeff Beck ratchets up the reverb as Chrissie Hynde belts out "Mystery Train," Bryan Ferry croons his way through "Don't Be Cruel," and Bob Dylan delivers a light-swinging interpretation of the nugget "Red Cadillac and a Black Moustache."

Other notable veteran performances include Elton John's pounding cover of The Killer's "Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On" and Jimmy Page and Robert Plant kicking back for a loose-limbed reading of "My Bucket's Got A Hole In It." The younger set also impresses, whether it's Kid Rock (!) and The Howling Diablos juicing up "Drinkin' Wine Spo-Dee-O-Dee" or the hidden Mandy Barnett track that finds her collaborating with the Jordanaires and making like Patsy Cline on Charlie Rich's classic "You Win Again".
