Thompson,Hayden Rock-A-Billy Gal The Sun Years Plus CD

2008 release, a collection that covers Hayden Thompson's first decade of recording: Here are both sides of all five singles issued between 1954 and 1962... all of them fabulously rare, along with most of the songs unissued at the time, plus eight previously unissued versions of the much-admired and much-emulated classic Rockabilly sides Hayden cut at Sun in 956 and '57. Hayden Thompson is one of the last of the surviving original Rock 'N' Rollers. He might not have had any hits, but he had credentials and style to spare. He was there at the epicenter of Rockabilly back when nobody knew quite what it was or what to call it. He was born within a few miles of Elvis Presley, he saw Elvis at the dawn of his career, he made his first record within a few months of Elvis, and he was on the legendary Sun Records. His 1956 recording of Love My Baby is acknowledged as classic rockabilly. It comes no finer. 35 tracks. Bear Family.
