Billy Riley Lee - Classic Recording 1956-60

When people talk about rockabilly, Billy Lee Riley is usually in the 'A' list, even tho' he never had a hit. His spectacularly untamed vocals, backed by the equally uninhibited Little Green Men stand at the very pinnacle of rockabilly. If this set only had Billy's Sun recordings, like 'Red Hot', 'Rock Me With Me Baby', 'Flying Saucers Rock'n Roll', and 'No Name Gal', it would be a great set, but we added some never-before-heard alternate takes, and then we added his Brunswick session ('Rockin' On The Moon', etc.), and then we added his Rita recordings like 'Dark Muddy Bottom', 'Repossession Blues', and 'That's What I Want To Do'.
