Billy Lee Riley
Classic Recordings 1956-1960 2CD

Double-CD collection featuring all of Billy Lee Riley's classic Sun recordings together with alternative versions and tracks released here for the first time.
A massive 49 rockin' cuts, packaged together with a 40-page booklet featuring detailed liner notes, session information and lots of photos.
When people talk about rockabilly music, Billy Lee Riley is usually in the 'A' list, even though he never had a hit record.
His spectacularly untamed vocals, backed by the equally uninhibited Little Green Men stand at the very pinnacle of rockabilly.
If this set only had Billy's Sun Records recordings like Red Hot, Rock Me With Me Baby, Flying Saucers Rock'n Roll, and No Name Gal, it would be a great set, but there are also some never-before-heard alternate takes, and then there's his Brunswick session featuring Rockin' On The Moon etc., along with his Rita Records cuts including Dark Muddy Bottom, Repossession Blues and That's What I Want To Do.
