Memphis Belles - The Women Of Sun Records (6-CD)
6-CD-Album Boxset (LP-Format) mit 120-seitigem Buch, 161 Einzeltitel. Spieldauer ca. 394 Minuten.
Schluss mit dem Vorurteil, bei Sun Records hätten nur Männer für Furore gesorgt! Klar, das Label ist berühmt dafür, Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Charlie Rich und Roy Orbison entdeckt zu haben. Aber es gab durchaus weibliche Künstler bei Sun - faszinierende Frauen aus dem Süden. Die meisten waren sehr jung, noch Teenager, aber mit kräftigen, exzellenten Stimmen. Wer waren diese aufstrebenden Sängerinnen, und wie klangen ihre Songs?
'''Memphis Belles': The Women of Sun Records" präsentiert einen nie dagewesenen Einblick in die Frauen-Szene bei Sun - mit allen Aufnahmen, die vor über einem halben Jahrhundert entstanden sind. Dieses CD-Album Boxset stellt fast 40 verschiedene Sängerinnen mit mehr als 150 Songs vor - nie zuvor wurde das Thema ausführlicher behandelt. Das Leben einiger dieser Frauen war so bewegend wie ihre Lieder. Manche Karrieren endeten tragisch, andere Interpretinnen hatten vorübergehend ein gewisses Maß an Erfolg, bevor sie wieder in der Anonymität untertauchten.
Der Sun-Spezialist Hank Davis erzählt die Geschichte dieser meist obskuren Sängerinnen aus der Frühzeit des Rock 'n' Roll und stellt sie mit faszinierenden, häufig bislang nicht publizierten Fotos vor. Bis heute sind die 'Sun-Ladies' weitgehend überhört und übersehen worden - diese faszinierende Song-Kollektion beleuchtet einen Sun-Aspekt, der über Jahrzehnte in der Musikgeschichtsschreibung viel zu kurz gekommen ist.
