1 Hillbilly Rock Hillbilly Roll (Original Version) 2:36. In ''The Sun Sessions,'' which produced such masterpieces as ''Mystery Train,'' ''That's All Right,'' ''Good Rockin' Tonight'' and an eerie falsetto version of ''Blue Moon,'' he virtually invented rockabilly with the resourceful help of the producer Sam Phillips, the bassist Bill Black and the lead guitarist Scotty Moore.Item: 196191786934 THE WOOLPACKERS * HILLBILLY ROCK HILLBILLY ROLL 1996 EXCELLENT. He was the original guitar-sporting stud-rebel hero who brought overt male sexual aggression to the American pop mainstream. Presley pioneered the most basic rock-and-roll iconography.
Like everything to do with Presley's life and times, the four albums leave deeply contradictory impressions. These Memphis sessions represented a remarkable, though short-lived, resurgence of energy and commitment by a singer whose career had stagnated throughout most of the 1960's and resumed its downhill slide in the 70's. ''The Memphis Record'' (6221-2-R LP, cassette, compact disk) includes 23 songs recorded in 1969 at the American Studios in Memphis with the producer Chips Moman and a large studio band. ''The Top Ten Hits'' (RCA 6383-1-R), a two-disk set, brings together his 38 Top 10 hits, from ''Heartbreak Hotel,'' through ''Burning Love'' (1972). 1 hits, from ''Heartbreak Hotel'' (1956) through ''Suspicious Minds'' (1969). ''The Number One Hits'' (6382-1-R LP, cassette, compact disk), a single disk, collects his 18 No. ''The Complete Sun Sessions'' (RCA 6414-1-R LP, cassette, compact disk) collects all the music, including the outtakes, that he cut for Sun Records in Memphis in 1954-55, before being signed by RCA. These early memories of Presley are triggered by RCA Records' release of four albums commemorating the 10th anniversary of the singer's death on Aug. To this day, I don't think anyone has packed more explosive insinuation into the word ''baby'' than he did in ''Heartbreak Hotel.'' When the record came out, I learned every nuance of the slurred, sullen, Southern Presley enunciation that was quickly imitated by rock-and-roll singers across the country. Overnight, thousands of adolescents began imagining themselves as Presley.īy the time RCA Records released his first national hit, ''Heartbreak Hotel,'' a month later, I was a devoted Elvis impersonator who practiced imitating his funny-sexy caricature of sensual abandon in the mirror and for anyone who cared to watch, dreaming that someday the Presley mystique might transform me into someone far more glamorous than a naive ninth-grader from suburbia.
Far from being carried away by his music, Presley, at 21, was already an intuitive master of provocation who conveyed an amused knowingness. Along with his galvanizing physicality, what I remember most clearly was the incredible, brazen self-consciousness of his performance. And when he turned out to be better - and stranger - than we had even imagined, his place in pop history was clinched. To a sheltered 14-year-old boy growing up in a New Jersey town not unlike Springfield, the sanitized suburban paradise of ''Father Knows Best,'' this loose-limbed hillbilly greaser, with his pudgy-lipped sneer, shiny hair, flapping legs and hiccupy grunt, had the impact of an extraterrestrial visitation.Īlthough word of Elvis Presley had preceded his appearance that night on ''The Dorsey Brothers Stage Show,'' none of us suburban adolescents had yet seen him in action. ON A COLD SATURDAY night in late January 1956, a seismic shock flickered across American television screens as Elvis Presley gyrated into national consciousness for the first time.
