This is an excellent compilation featuring 25
Billy Lee Riley original Sun recordings from 1956-1962. His classic Sun sides feature hot rockabilly along the lines of
Jerry Lee Lewis and
Warren Smith at their most frantic. Besides
Riley's essential songs, "Red Hot" and "Flyin' Saucers Rock'n'Roll," this collection includes "Trouble Bound" (covered by
the Blasters in 1985), "Let's Talk About Us," "Searchin'," and "Your Cash Ain't Nothin' but Trash." Also recommended is the single-disc
Classic Recordings, 1956-1960 on Bear Family.
