PRODUKTINFO (CD) 5. Juli 2019 Künstler Billy Lee Riley Titel Rocks Label Bear Family Productions Katalognr. BCD17597 Preiscode: AR EAN-Code 5397102175978 Format CD (Digipak) mit 40-seitigem Booklet Musikgebiet Rock 'n' Roll Titelanzahl 35 79:06 Min. VÖ-Datum 5. Juli 2019 INFO: Ein weiterer Meilenstein in unserer ständig erweiterten ROCKS! CD-Serie! ROCKS! enthält die rockigsten Aufnahmen von Billy Lee Riley, einem Musiker, der es verdient hätte, in die allererste Garde des Rock ’n’ Roll aufzusteigen! Neben seinen besten zwischen 1956 und 1959 für SUN Records aufgenommenen Rockern enthält ‚Billy Lee Riley ROCKS!’ Aufnahmen für andere Labels. Weitere Stationen waren Phillips Int’l (unter Ernie Barton erschienen), Brunswick, Checker (als The Megatons), Jaro (als The Spitfires – mit Roland Janes), Mojo, Myrl (als Darron Lee), Crown, Home Of The Blues, Enterprise, Rita und Hightone aus den Jahren ’59 bis ’92. Linernotes von Bill Dahl. Edles Digipac und umfangreiches Booklet. Billy Lee Riley wurde am 5. Oktober 1933 in Pocahontas, Arkansas, geboren. 1955 machte er erste Aufnahmen in Memphis und landete schon bald bei Sam Phillips und dessen SUN-Studio und -Label. 1956 erschien Trouble Bound mit Rock With Me Baby als Rückseite. Sein erster Hit kam 1957 mit Flyin' Saucers Rock and Roll, einer Nummer, die zu einem der bekanntesten Rockabilly- Songs überhaupt werden sollte. Da Phillips seine gesamte Energie den Karrieren seiner etablierten Künstler wie Jerry Lee Lewis widmete, verliess Riley SUN Records 1960 und gründete zusammen mit Gitarrist Roland Janes ein eigenes Label, Rita Records. Zwei Jahre später zog er an die Westküste und nahm Jobs als Sessionsmusiker u.a. für die Beach Boys, Sammy Davis Jr. oder Herb Alpert an. 1965 schnitt Mercury ein Konzert Rileys im berühmten ‚Whiskey a Go Go’ in L.A. mit und veröffentlichte die Aufnahmen als LP. Wenige Jahre später kehrte Riley der Musikindustrie den Rücken und ging zurück nach Arkansas, wo er ein Baugeschäft aufbaute. Im Zuge des Rock ’n’ Roll-Revivals Ende der 70er Jahre nahmen Link Wray & Robert Gordon Red Hot und Flyin' Saucers Rock and Roll auf; schließlich betrat Billy Lee Riley für eine Show 1979 in Memphis die Bühne und entschied sich dann, wieder in Vollzeit als Musiker zu arbeiten. 1992 wurde er von einem seiner größten Fans, Bob Dylan, neu entdeckt. Er trat nach wie vor mit seiner Mischung aus Rock ’n’ Roll, Blues und Country auf, veröffentlichte Platten wie z.B. das 1992 für einen Grammy nominierte ‚Hot Damn!’ für Capricorn. Von einem Sturz 2005 hat er sich nicht vollkommen erholt, spielte jedoch weiterhin bis kurz vor seinem Tod am 2. August 2009 live. Billy Lee Riley war ein vielseitig talentierter Musiker, Gitarrist und Harmonicaspieler. Wir konzentrieren uns mit dieser ROCKS!- Ausgabe auf seine großartigen Rocker, nicht nur aus den Anfangstagen seiner mehr als 50-jährigen Karriere.

G This is an album that swings like mad and rocks like crazy! INFORMATION Roy Lanham is not a well-known name in the music world, but the songs he played on are. Whether you know it or not, you've heard the incredible guitar talents of Roy Lanham, on everything from The Delmore Brothers to Hank Penny to The Fleetwoods to Roy Rogers to The Sons Of The Pioneers to obscure rockabilly artists like Whitey Pullen and Jimmy Patton. Roy Lanham was a virtuoso musician who could pull off everything from country to jazz, and recorded a landmark album in 1959 (released in 1961) called 'The Most Exciting Guitar.' Strangely, this album has remained out of print and hard to find for decades, and BEAR FAMILY now remedies that with a glorious new reissue. This album smokes, with 'Exciting' being an apt description. This isn't your Grandpa's sleepy jazz guitar, this is an album that swings like mad and rocks like crazy! Lanham, along with bassist Red Wooten and the legendary rock and roll/rhythm and blues drummer Earl Palmer, literally take this list of jazz and country standards and redefine them.

There is an American musical conversation we have inherited, that grew out of the native and immigrant traditions of our nation, and especially those who immigrated here against their will—the African slaves. While this musical conversation reflects all aspects of American life over the history of our nation, perhaps nowhere has it been more powerful, more iconic and of higher impact than when it was used to voice protest for social and justice issues of our world, our society and the average working American. This musical conversation happened in a variety of ways. The genesis and evolution of the lyrics and music themselves represent a sharing and passing down of musical ideas, frequently born of old hymns, spirituals and slave songs.
