Long before the phrase 'Nashville Sound' was coined, Music City USA was home to a great many rock & roll recordings. Record companies would dispatch their latest signings to cut sides at the RCA Studio and Owen Bradley's Quonset Hut - the facilities where future legends such as Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly and Gene Vincent would evince some fine work. Stuart Colman has cherry-picked a 3CD prime selection of cuts recorded between '56 & '60, many of which are extremely rare and have certainly never been on CD before. The end result is a stellar line-up and a true eye-opener.
