Sun Records at 60, Bear Family at 38 Between 1950 and 1960, Sun Records founder Sam Phillips discovered andproduced B. B. King, Howlin' Wolf, Ike Turner, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Charlie Rich, and Roy Orbison -artists who changed the way popular music was made. With a staff ofno more than one or two people, he did this from a small storefrontstudio in Memphis, Tennessee. Others who made their firstrecordings at Sun include Rufus Thomas, Bobby Bland, Junior Parker, Little Milton, Conway Twitty, Charley Pride, and many more!In1952, after producing one of the biggest pre-rock 'n' roll hits,Jackie Brenston's 'Rocket 88', Sam Phillips launched Sun Records withone local release, and then folded the label for a year. In 1953, here-launched Sun, scored major hits with R&B, country, and rock 'n'roll artists, and created an identifiable Sun Sound along the way. Hecontinued to release singles on Sun until 1968. Now, in conjunction with Sun's sixtieth anniversary, Bear Family is releasing three genre-defining box sets
The Sun Country Box is the first. Bear Family issued the original 'Sun Country Years' in 1986, and now it's back. Few knew it, but Sam Phillips' original recordings after he started his studio were country - not blues. Now the story of Phillips' involvement in country music from 1950 until 1959 is told in full. There's Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins, of course, but the real story lies in artists like Ernie Chaffin, Slim Rhodes, Charlie Feathers, Warren Smith, and many others who didn't make it, but made fabulously underrated music. It's all here!...Read more at: https://www.bear-family.de/
