Sonny Burgess: Classic Recordings 1956-59 (2-CD)
There’s nothing wilder in Fifties music than Sonny Burgess’s Sun recordings. The complete story is here in 54 incredible rafter shakin’, barn burnin’ cuts. Several of the original singles have been transferred from newly discovered master tapes for the first time, and we’ve even unearthed some previously unissued performances that had eluded previous researchers. Songs include ‘We Wanna Boogie’, ‘Red Headed Woman’, ‘Ain’t Got A Thing’, ‘Fannie Brown’, ‘My Bucket’s Got A Hole In It’, and ‘Mama Loochie’…… Rare photos from Sonny’s personal collection round out the set. – (BEAR FAMILY) 2-CD (57 tracks) & 32 page booklet.
