What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

ELVIS PRESLEY  "elvis: the Sun sessions" vinyl, 1976.

a compilation of sixteen songs recorded by Presley at Sun Records circa 1954-55...
mainly country and rockabilly tunes...
theres still a dozen or so tracks he recorded that arent included here but these are the best ones IMO...
some of these tracks really show the talent that was yet to be unleashed upon the world of music and as much as i dislike Tom Parker and the way he manipulated Presley, without him, there would be no Elvis Presley as i dont think Sam Phillips would have had the means or capabilities to take him to the world...
this literally is 'the roots of rock and roll' and yes it is debatable what may or may not have happened without Presley but the fact remains that he was an integral part to start of what we call "rock and roll"
