Sun Studios  www.sunstudio.com

He said: "I don't sound like nobody".  And he sang like nobody ever had, with the honesty of the blues and the wildness of an all night party!  Jerry Lee Lewis..Carl Perkins...Johnny Cash. They and Elvis were all friends here. They made a new sound in this Studio. It had the Beat, the Soul and especially the Attitude that came to be called "Rock N’Roll"  Come visit the place where some of the greatest musicians of our time got there start!
