Rockin' Bones: 1950s Punk and Rockabilly
(2006)

by
Various Artists
It's easy to look at Rhino's four-disc 2006 box Rockin' Bones: 1950s Punk and Rockabilly and confuse it with the label's 1999 four-disc box Loud, Fast & Out of Control: The Wild Sounds of '50s Rock. It has the same garish neo-pulp artwork, covers the same era, and even has several of the same songs, usually big hits like Eddie Cochran's ...

Rockabilly Riot [Sanctuary]
(2003)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
Rockabilly Riot is a 22-track collection of some very hot sides recorded (with one glaring exception) in the exciting mid-'50s heyday of rockabilly. Most of the disc is made up of Sun artists (biggies like Elvis, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, and small fries like Warren Smith and Billy Riley), but the disc also gathers up a wide ...

Original Soundtrack
A movie about a woman who suffers a traumatic head injury and a resulting exponential jump in her sex drive is par for the course for John Waters, and the soundtrack to A Dirty Shame is just as typically bawdy and campy. Beginning with "Let's Go Sexin," by James Intveld (who provided Johnny Depp's singing voice in Cry Baby), which mixes rockabilly ...

Brian Setzer & the Nashvillains
After breaking up the Stray Cats in 1984, Brian Setzer spent several years seemingly avoiding the rockabilly issue, first cutting a heartland rock album (1986's The Knife Feels Like Justice) and then forming his swing band the Brian Setzer Orchestra. But Setzer seems to have come to terms with the intersection of twang and bop in the 21st century ...

Although Sam Phillips' Sun Records is generally remembered as the rockabilly label that launched the recording career of one Elvis Presley, as well as the careers of Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis, there is a whole lot more to the story than that. Phillips recorded a good deal of straight blues in his studio, and that ...

by
Brian Setzer
The concept is stated in the title and the execution is about what you'd expect from one of the most popular rockabilly revivalists in contemporary music. It's not much of a stretch for Stray Cat Brian Setzer to take a break from writing his own rockabilly tunes that often sound like classic Sun material anyway, but by narrowing his focus roughly ...

It has been said that the guys who wash dishes and collect garbage in Memphis, TN, are better musicians than you're likely to find in nearly any other American city, and there seems to be something about the place that inspires a strange and glorious blend of groove, soul, and belief -- any city that can produce Elvis Presley, Al Green, Isaac ...

While it inevitably shares certain material with Rhino's similarly themed 1990 Blue Flames: Sun Blues Collection, this 2001 edition on Varese presents a generous 25 tracks (compared with Rhino's relatively meager 18) and digs deeper into the Sun vaults for its material. Since only five tunes are duplicated from the earlier release, it actually ...

There's no Elvis on Sun Records: 25 All-Time Greatest Hits (for copyright reasons, presumably), and the fact that the collection focuses purely on chart hits means that many album classics are neglected while some amusing but slight novelties (like Rufus Thomas' "Bear Cat") are included. Still, for sheer gritty classic old-school rock & roll, it's ...

Unlike many compilations of little-heard rockabilly sides, this has no particular theme connecting the tracks to each other, not even the same label or region.

The legend and legacy of Sam Phillips' little Memphis record label called Sun is a storied and enduring one, and justly so, since some of the most vital and important tracks of country and rock & roll were issued on Sun Records in the 1950s and early '60s, and it is virtually impossible to imagine the landscape of modern pop music had these ...

Rock & roll also came out of the mix at Sun thanks to two of label head Sam Phillips' prized acts: Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis -- not to mention Perkins. Fortunately, for fans of these heavy hitters, ...
