Editorial Reviews

This Alabama sax man convinced Sam Phillips to make him Sun Records' music director. It was during this tenure that Bill wrote and recorded the #2 1957 smash Raunchy and another hit single, College Man . Those tunes are here with 17 more, including songs by Charlie Rich, Floyd Cramer and Steve Cropper!

4.0 out of 5 stars RAUNCHY!! CATTYWAMPUS!!!, March 1, 1999

This review is from: Raunchy: Very Best of (Audio CD)

Sun Records was best known as the home of Elvis Presley, that's true, but many great performers came from Sam C. Phillip's little studio on Union Avenue in Memphis. Sam C. Phillips gave Bill Justis a chance in the late 50's, he scored big with "Raunchy" but was never able to duplicate his effort....This CD covers all of Bill's attempts at PHILLIPS INTERNATIONAL (Sun Records). Some of the material is simply bad, but tunes like "Raunchy", "Cattywampus", "Scroungie" and "College Man" make the CD very interesting. If you're a collector of 50's "INSTRUMENTAL" Rock'n Roll. You may want to include this in your files...It shows the talent of Bill Justis and Sid Manker (the guitar player) , two "Hillbilly Cats" that made a big hit out of something that was called "Raunchy" in 1958.

This CD is lousy. None of the music sounds raunchy AT ALL! Listen to Bill Dogget
