Customer Reviews For the Record His Sun records stuff is great and very different from his 60's underdog balladeer image. Young Roy Orbison WAS a rockabilly god. Rock House, You're My Baby, Domino, Mean Little Mama, Claudette. . . all killer stuff. A revelation What I didn't realize was how good the Teen Kings were. No one would claim young Roy was a rockabilly God, but his formative years at Sun yielded a few classics, as well as paving the way for his later magnificent successes. I think ANY live tapes of real rockabilly music is worth listening to, and these guys were a real band. Roy's rather nervous, quirky rockabilly vocal style was unique, much different that the astonishly rich instrument it later proved to be, yet very effective on these live performances. This is raw, pure, important stuff. . Lost and Found....I wish they hadn't!!! The only interesting/redeeming part of this CD is the rambling telephone conversation with the Teen Kings on the very last track. A collection of live local Radio and Television performances that pale in comparison to Roy Orbison and the Teen Kings Studio performances. Wanna here the Teen Kings??? Get the Roy Orbison Sun Years CD on Rhino. Matt. . You can see a complete list of all Roy Orbison & the Teen Kings discography, or go back to the Roy Orbison & the Teen Kings tabs
