4.0 out of 5 stars three absolutely perfect songs and some other good stuff, January 25, 2000

This review is from: Classic Recordings 1956-59 (Audio CD)

if this entire album kept up the raucous, brassy, wonderful, pure, ingenuous rock'n'roll sound of the first three songs, i would have no hesitation in recommending it as the best thing ever to ever come out of sun studios - yes, even better than the king's own sun recordings, which, as things stand, are still the best. 'we wanna boogie', 'red-headed woman', and 'prisoner's song'. look for them. it's probably not worth buying the whole forty dollar box-set like i did, because when those three songs are over, and the trumpet (that trumpet! brilliant!) disappears, the album goes seriously downhill. the other songs are good still, but they just aren't the same ecstatic, frenzied, honest, all-out rock'n'roll that you hear in those first three little miracles.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Wish I Could Rate This Higher, July 29, 2004

The throbbing muscle of the guitar and drums, the joyful been there done that bragging vocals, then the BRAP BRAP of the trumpet makes this some fine rockin music indeed. This is R&B heaped up with Hillbilly Boogie at it's finest. Think Louis JOrdan going on a bender with the Delmore Brothers.

This is the wrong cover shown for the Sonny Burgess CD. Great complete set of Sonny's Sun recordings. I highly recomend it. He should be mentioned with the other Sun greats, Cash, Lewis, Presley. Don't know why he wasn't a bigger star.
