Wow! Johnny captures the Sun Sound. Fantastic Album. I have the audio cd not mp3.

A must buy Carl Perkins sits in and plays after Johnny Says to him "Carl, why don't you come in and help us out, after being told by Rebekah Alperin who was helping with the project that I think Carl wants to play. Johnny was thrilled when Carl joined him. Johnny handed his guitar to Carl and picked up an acoustic guitar and they started playing Bopping the Blues. Carl went on to play lead on all the songs that were his. This only gets better guess who plays lead on the other cuts? Are you ready for this? The one and only James Burton. Johnny pays tributute to the legends that recorded in the Sun Studios, Elvis, Carl, Johnny Cash, Charlie Rich, and Jerry Lee Lewis. To quote Sam Phillips. "Johnny has managed to capture the sound of the original recordings while maintaining his own unique style." Totally agree. Johnny said it was a dream come true recording next to Carl Perkins in the original Sun Studios. Johnny also does new arrangements to some of his own classics, My favorite is the Poor Side Of Town, where he has traces of a Rainey night in Georgia in it. It not only stops at the early sun recordings,but as the title of the album says the Memphis Sun Recordings,track Trying to live my life without you is pure Stax Memphis sound. What an album. Johnny Rivers should have been one of the early inductees in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Shame on you rock and roll hall of fame. Get your act together. By the way hall of fame in case you don'tknow, Johnny was discovered by Mr Rock and Roll himself. The Greatest DJ of all who coined the name Rock and Roll.Alan Freed.

Great Stripped Down Johnny

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2012

I can only imagine how crowded the little Sun Studio in Memphis must have been when this great record was made - guitars,horns, back-up singers, bass, etc, and Johnny singing live. Just terrific versions of early Sun songs plus some of Johnny's hits in stripped down versions. His "Memphis" sounds just as strong as his original '60's recording at the Whiskey A Go Go. Johnny enlisted hall of fame musicians to lend a hand, the late Carl Perkins and James Burton, to name two. A shame the CD itself is out of print, but the MP3 is definately worth buying. Johnny Rivers in his strongest element; this had to be a great work of joy for him, and it shines through. Highly recommended. (P.S., if you ever visit Memphis, you gotta go to the Sun Studios on Union Street where so much recording history was made.)

If you're a fan of Elvis, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash or just love Rockabilly style rock, this is phenomenal. It also includes many of Johnny Rivers' hits in new arrangements that fit in to make a great CD. So hit the road in a classic ragtop and cruise to this cool, cool music.
