VA - The Sun Blues Story [3cd](2012) mp3@316VBR{1337x}-kawli

Sun Records is an American independent record label founded in Memphis, Tennessee, starting operations on March 27, 1952. Founded by Sam Phillips, Sun Records was notable for discovering and first recording such influential musicians as Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash.

Sun also recorded a number of fine blues performers, many who went on to more fame later on. Even the lesser known artists in this set contribute some great blues tunes. From B.B. King to Howlin' Wolf, Joe Hill Louis to James Cotton, Little Milton to Rufus Thomas, Roscoe Gordon to Doctor Ross and others, this set is filled with good examples of early electric blues. And lesser known performers like Hot Shot Love, Harmonica Frank, Lost John Hunter, Willie Nix, Jimmy & Walter, and several others all have some good/great blues tunes here. It's obvious that One Day Music has looked beyond just the well known artists/songs, and have included some deserving blues performers that sometimes don't make it onto similar collections.

The performers and the songs have been well chosen to give fans a good idea of what the label recorded during (primarily) the 1950's. Included here are well known tunes and a number of lesser known songs by both well and lesser known blues artists. There's very little, if any, filler here. This is prime, raw blues that Sam Phillips loved to record. The fact that there's no booklet--only a short essay on the label and a few artists--is the only real drawback for listeners coming to this music for the first time. But the music is the most important thing here, and this set does a good job as an overview of Sun blues.
