Description:

Billy Lee Riley, best known for hot-footed, wild-eyed rockabilly classics like "Red Hot" and "Flying Saucers Rock and Roll," was one of rockabilly`s toughest, edgiest singers. He`s well served by some single-disc collections, but for the completists in the crowd, CLASSIC RECORDINGS is the way to go. Thanks to those indefatigable archivists at Germany`s Bear Family label, you can get everything Riley recorded for the venerable Sun label between 1956 and 1960 (in other words, pretty much everything you really need) on this two-disc set. From the hits to the obscurities, with some alternate takes thrown in along the way, this is a hardcore Riley admirer`s dream come true.
