I admit that I am an Elvis fan. I’ve been one ever since I was old enough to appreciate music (or even know what it was). I’ve probably heard just about everything he ever recorded, including the outtakes.
Recently, I’ve been listening to A Boy from Tupelo, a compilation of everything he recorded from 1953-1955 while he was at Sun Studios in Memphis, Tennessee.
Even now as I listen to these songs, I’m aware that Elvis was creating a form of music that hadn’t been heard before. It was the birth of rock ‘n’ roll.
The songs sound better than ever and I’m more fully able to appreciate the genius of this era of Elvis Presley. I’m convinced that if Elvis stopped after Sun Studios, he’d still be a legend for what he did in those 2 short years. It’s hard to believe he was only 20 when he left for RCA in 1955.
I’m a fan of all the eras of Elvis music, but for me, the Sun Records era is still the best.
