Billy Lee Riley - The Sun Records Sound of Billy Lee Riley (20 Rockabilly Originals) '2022

Tracks list

       Billy Lee Riley was a rockabilly singer and multi-instrumentalist. An
alumnus of Sun Records, he was one of the most crazed, unabashed rockers that
label had to offer — in the company of Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and
Sonny Burgess, that's saying a lot. Proficient at harmonica, guitar, bass, and
drums, Riley contributed as a sideman to many a classic Sun session, and his
combo, the Little Green Men (most notably guitarist Roland Janes and drummer
J.M. Van Eaton), in time became the Sun house band. Riley recorded for a number
of labels in a variety of styles, especially effective with blues. Though never
commercially successful, Riley's Sun recordings of "Flying Saucer Rock 'n' Roll"
and "Red Hot" (both covered in wooden renditions by Robert Gordon) remain
landmarks of the genre. Billy Lee Riley died of cancer in Jonesboro, Arkansas in
2009; he was 75 years old. ~ Cub Koda
