Elvis Presley Artist Snapshot:

"Before Elvis, there was nothing," John Lennon once said. An overstatement, of course, but Elvis Presley's ascendance to superstardom in the mid-1950s kicked off a musical and social revolution whose impact has yet to abate. After the charming young man from Tupelo, Mississippi was discovered by Sun Records honcho Sam Phillips, the wise studio owner took Presley under his wing, leading to the landmark recording of his first single, "That's All Right (Mama)." The rest, of course, is well-documented history, with Elvis going on to conquer the pop charts, the box office, and beyond. He truly was the King, and his blend of country, pop, and R&B became the cornerstone of rock & roll.

Review

Living Blues (7-8/99, pp.93-4) - "This is where rockabilly began....Never before has the King's seminal Sun output been presented so comprehensively outside the confines of a pricey boxed set....An essential purchase."
Mojo (Publisher) (03/99, pp.108-109) - "...Still marvellous, still an essential purchase if you don't already own them..."

Originally released as 1975's THE SUN SESSIONS, SUNRISE is a two-disc compilation of early Elvis Presley material that showcases his work at Sam Phillips' Sun Studios. Here, one can hear the seeds of rock and roll being sown by this son of the South whose extraordinary range belied the fact that he was a self-taught musician. Presley's musical loves are apparent: Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup ("That's All Right"), bluegrass legend Bill Monroe ("Blue Moon Of Kentucky") and R&B artists Junior Parker ("Mystery Train") and Roy Brown ("Good Rockin' Tonight"). The team of guitarist Scotty Moore and bass player Bill Black provided an excellent base for Presley's vocals which oozed like honey on slower fare such as "Blue Moon" and "Harbor Lights" and snarled when tackling faster material such as "Just Because."

SUNRISE now includes a number of previously unreleased live and studio acetates of covers ranging from a melancholic take on Jimmy Wakely's "It Wouldn't Be The Same Without You" to spirited readings of songs more closely associated with Big Joe Turner ("Shake, Rattle & Roll") and Laverne Baker ("Tweedle Dee").
