Music reviews of Elvis at Sun
Music Review: Classic recordings; but stick to 'The Sun Sessions CD'
Rating: 3 Stars
Elvis' 1954-1955 Sun recordings are perhaps the most historic, important recordings in rock and roll history that are, by a relatively comfortable margin, Elvis' best recordings. The great Sun recordings have been re-released countless times on many different recordings. It is the similar case for Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins, two other legendary Sun recording artists who changed the face of rock and roll.
'Elvis at Sun' was released in 2004, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the year "rock and roll was born" on RCA Records (which owns the rights to Sam Phillips' Sun Records catalogue). It sounds like a great concept, right? Compiling some of Elvis' best early recordings on one compact disc is a good idea, right?
Except that it has been done NUMEROUS TIMES!!! 'The Sun Sessions CD' remains the definitive Sun Records collection, and there, you will collect almost every important Sun recording the King made.
But, don't get me wrong, everything here is infinity-star material. 'Tryin' to Get to You,' 'That's All Right,' 'Milkcow Blues Boogie,' and 'Blue Moon' are all here, and are perhaps his most legendary/best sides in his entire catalogue.
Of course, several of his Sun sides appeared on his self-titled debut album several years later. And of course, many of his classic Sun sides appear on his compilations. But, overall, if you want his Sun sides compiled in one place, try 'The Sun Sessions CD,' which is out of print as of 2009, but it's essential to anyone's Elvis collection. Overall, this is recommended if you can't find 'The Sun Sessions CD' or if you are too lazy to hunt that CD down, but otherwise, stick to that album instead. Three stars because this material is so great, but there are plenty of better options.
Description of Elvis at Sun
Japanese pressing live album contains 1 bonus track 'That's All Right' (alternate take). BMG. 2004.Though they would eventually be hailed as nothing short of the birth notice of rock 'n' roll, these seminal recordings--the product of a teenaged Memphis truck driver with virtually no public performance experience--were originally little more than energetic regional country hits that eventually led to a modest national record deal. Elvis Presley's five Sun singles, along with nine additional demos and outtakes from the era, have been meticulously cleansed of the reverb and echo effects added to the later LP versions RCA issued during the singer's meteoric rise to stardom, yielding a restored clarity that may startle even veteran Presley fans. Of course, it's the performances themselves that remain indelible benchmarks of modern American music, a fusion of R&B, C&W, Tin Pan Alley pop, and irrepressible ambition that seemed wholly formed even on the first single's pairing of the Arthur Crudup blues "That's Alright" with a joyously supercharged revamp of Bill Monroe's "Blue Moon of Kentucky." What the core trio on these recordings--Presley, guitarist Scotty Moore, and bassist Bill Black--accomplished in their brief tenure at Sun was as preternatural as it was groundbreaking, yielding a mindset and sound that continues to reverberate around the globe over a half-century later. --Jerry McCulley
