308) The Sun Records Collection

Buy the album at Rhino.com

Blues without polish, country without corn and rockabilly played with brainless abandon. This collection of Fifties releases has acknowledged greats (Elvis, Johnny, Jerry Lee) and lesser-known gems (Bill Justis' spiky "Raunchy"). Lewis' take on the Sun sound was, "It took all of us to screw up the world."

Total album sales: 20,000
