About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Elvis Presley's legendary recordings for Sun Records had been reissued many times before Sunrise appeared in early 1999, most notably in the 1987 collection The Complete Sun Recordings. Despite its title, The Complete Sun Recordings was missing a few odds and ends, plus its sequencing on CD was a little didactic, resulting in a repetitive listen. Those flaws are corrected on the exceptional Sunrise, a generous 38-song double-disc set that contains all of Elvis' Sun recordings, including alternate takes and several previously unreleased live performances. The compilers wisely decided to devote the first disc to the original takes, dedicating the second to alternate takes: six live cuts from 1955 and four private demos from 1953 and 1954. This sequencing emphasizes the brilliance of this music. Not only is listening to all 19 masters in a row quite breathtaking, but the second disc winds up as a revelatory experience, since it offers a kind of alternate history by following Elvis' pre-professional recordings from his Sun sessions to early live performances. As such, Sunrise is essential for the curious and the collector alike. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

January 24, 2003: This music sounds forign to the listener that wasn't there when it all broke loose. But let me tell you, this is where it all began. There was nothing before Elvis showed up on the scene. He took all his raw energy and combined it with influences he interpeted from the opressed southern black R&B, Country, Gospel performers,and put his own spin on it. A spin that even he couldn't understand when he turned it loose. But the youth of America sure could. He created a rumble thats still felt today and will most likely go on forever. He was more than a performer he was artist that could reach out and touch his fans like no other. His early music is raw but compeling his latter obscure music reaches out and touches your soul like no other. Thats the success story of Elvis Aaron Presley. Who Else could have a No.1 recording in 2002 that sold over 30 million copies world wide, 25 years after thier passing.
