I...Thanks much, although you're way too kind...<BR/><BR/>Yes! I have yet to meet a Sun recording I don't like, and that all-star session is no exception. <BR/><BR/>There's a little bit of that behind-the-scenes flavor in the alternate takes featured on the RCA comp of Sun Presley stuff. (Incidentally, said comp is where I nabbed that Scotty Moore quote from, as I probably should have noted in my post.

As usual, your post totally puts mine to shame (why do I keep provoking you...?).<BR/><BR/>I especially like the observations about "creativity set loose by a willingness to stop trying... so... damned... hard." Seems like that was the guiding aesthetic at Sun. Have you heard the <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Million_Dollar_Quartet" REL="nofollow">Million Dollar Quartet</A> recordings? Not that they yielded anything very earth-shattering, but it's maybe a rare glimpse of the creative process behind some of those early sessions.Kris Tinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01605676500619480309noreply@blogger.com
