Sonny Burgess Rocks! CD

Sonny Burgess Rocks! CD

Long overdue - and now finally compiled and released - the comprehensive tribute to a great pioneer of rock 'n' roll,  Sonny Burgess.
He came into the world May 28 1929 as Albert Austin Burgess in Little Rock, Arkansas, and remained active well into the new millennium.
His studio career as an independent artist began in the 1950s with Sun Records in Memphis and took him across the U.S. to Nashville, Chicago, Arkansas and New England over the next fifty years
This collection is not content with just reissuing his early Sun rockers - along with the best numbers from that era (including some in excellent alternate versions from the Sun archives) it follows Sonny's story with, among other things, the outstanding recordings featuring Dave Alvin of The Blasters.
Throughout his life, Sonny Burgess was synonymous with the power of rockabilly and rock 'n' roll, becoming an icon for several generations of rockabilly fans worldwide.
