WHILST SONNY JAMES IS BEST KNOWN AS A SINGER AND WRITER OF COUNTRY MUSIC, HE WAS ALSO AN INSPIRING ROCK & ROLLER DURING HIS EARLY CAREER. HE WAS, IN FACT, A COUNTRY CROONER WHO HAPPENED UPON THE RAWER BEAT OF ROCK & ROLL AND COMBINED THE TWO. WHILE HIS FIRST RECORDINGS WERE TWANGY, HARDCORE HONKY-TONK, SONNY NEVER ACHIEVED MUCH SUCCESS WITH THE STYLE. WHEN ROCK & ROLL CAME ALONG, THOUGH, HE RESPONDED AS MANY WOULD, BY SPICING HIS COUNTRY SOUND WITH BIG-TIME ELEMENTS. THE RESULT, IN 1956, WAS THE RECORD THAT WOULD BECOME HIS SIGNATURE HIT, “YOUNG LOVE”.

THIS COLLECTOR’S EDITION CONTAINS SONNY JAMES’ HARDER-EDGED RECORDINGS, CONSISTING OF A WIDE SELECTION OF THE GREAT ROCK & ROLL NUMBERS HE MADE BETWEEN 1955 AND 1962, BEFORE BECOMING A COUNTRY STAR. HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE THE AFOREMENTIONED SMASH, “YOUNG LOVE”, PLUS OTHER TEEN HITS, ROCKERS AND TREASURES LIKE “LET’S PLAY LOVE”, “YO-YO”, “INNOCENT ANGEL”, “UH-HUH-MM” AND “FOR RENT” AMONG OTHERS. ON SOME OF THESE FORMIDABLE TRACKS, JAMES IS ACCOMPANIED BY THE NASHVILLE A-TEAMERS WHO WERE BACKING ELVIS PRESLEY DURING THE SAME PERIOD. THIS IS AN ESSENTIAL SET FOR LISTENERS WHO WANT TO EXPERIENCE SONNY JAMES’ MORE ROCKING SIDE, AND FOR ANY DEVOTEE OF ORIGINAL ROCK & ROLL.
