Sun Records recorded the first Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins records. What many people don't realize is that Sun Records created an entirely new genre of music: "Rockabilly". Rockabilly became the major evolution in the Sun Sound. Lyrically it was bold, musically it was sparse, but it MOVED. In the 1950s country music rarely used drums, so vital to jazz, blues and jump bands. In fact, drums were banned from the stage at the Grand Ole Opry but they played an essential role in Rockabilly. Rockabilly Rebels Vol. 1 and 2 is the start of a four part series of albums collecting Sun Rockabilly classics and more obscure tracks. (When laid out together, all four covers will form a Rockabilly band).
