Synopsis

Amazon.com

This is the Big Bang of rock & roll, the moments when Elvis Presley, guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black first twanged up their R&B and heated up their C&W, igniting an explosion that created the world we now inhabit. Rock & roll has never been as elemental, as jubilant or desperate, as the versions here of Arthur Crudup's "That's All Right" and Bill Monroe's "Blue Moon Of Kentucky." And just as significantly, on "I Love You Because" and "Blue Moon," The Sun Sessions include the beginnings of Elvis' earnest ballad style that would soon be nearly as influential as his creation of rockabilly. --David Cantwell

CD Reviews

Hell, that's different!

Johnny Heering | Bethel, CT United States | 11/20/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a collection of Elvis Presley's Sun Records recordings. It should be pointed out that the track listing here on Amazon is not correct. They have the track listing for a CD that is a reissue of an LP from the early '70s that was the first album to compile Elvis' Sun recordings. The CD that is pictured here features all the tracks listed here, plus an additional 12 tracks. Most of the additional tracks are alternate takes of songs already on the CD. These are the most important recordings of the early days of rock and roll. Highly recommended."

The Sun Sessions

"Elvis Presley-The Sun Sessions *****

Considered by many to be the first sip from the primordial soup that is Rock N' Roll. The Sun Sessions is the first official recording of Elvis Presley. Though it was not released as a whole album until the mid 1970's The Sun Sessions is really the very first recording session of The King with the great Sam Phillips, and not to mention with the fantastic Scotty Moore on guitar.

Some say this was the first official rock recording, that factually is not the case but because it is The King we'll let it slide. Featuring such classic Elvis songs as 'Thats Alright' 'Blue Moon Of Kentucky' 'Good Rockin' Tonight' 'Baby Lets Play House' 'Blue Moon' and 'Mystery Train' this is a must in every collection, regardless if it is mainly covers, because they are some of the very best covers ever recorded!

While this technically isnt an actual album just a collection of singles really and their B-sides this can't be called Elvis first album, the would be his self titled record. But regardless this is a classic from the dawn of rock!"
