Elvis Presley - The Sun Collection (@256)












On 16/8, it was the 30th an. of Presley's death. This upload is a collection of songs that Elvis had recorded in Sam Phillips' Sun studios, before he moved to RCA were he was established as a mega-star. Apart from his unique vocals and the precise instrument playing by himself and the session musicians Bill Black in bass, Scotty Moore in guitar and (in some of the songs) D. J. Fontana in drums, the impressive with this collection of songs is (in most cases) the total transformation of the original material to a feverish fusion of country and blues, in other words to a rockabilly style that was pure, primitive and spontaneous. These recordings definitely showcased the sound that was about to come.

  1. And the black rain come down
    The black rain come down
    The black rain come down
    Water water everywhere
    Where no bird can fly no fish can swim
    Where no bird can fly no fish can swim
    No fish can swim
    Until the king is born!
    Until the king is born!
    In tupelo! tupelo-o-o!
    Til the king is born in tupelo!

    Thanks for this one post Niko... :-)
