196 Elvis Presley (1935-1977) and the Blue Moon Boys “Milkcow Blues Boogie” 1955

“what Elvis is doing in his Sun records is repeating instinctively that process of making music new by recharging its rhythm in a way that has characterized every stylistic revolution in the history of twentieth-century pops,” which “gives the Sun sides an archetypal quality” (Goldman, Elvis). His 1954-1955 Sun sessions are listed on the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress.
