Billy Lee Riley: Rock With Me - Rock Originals Collection Vol.10 (CD)

(Fnac Music) 19 tracks

Singer, author, composer, harmonica player, drummer, bass player and guitar player - sorry/bit! - Billy Lee Riley was born on October 5, 1933 in Pocahontas, Arkansas, of Indian descent. After a stay in the army he moved to Memphis and was hired by the Sun label in 1956.

Sam Phillips, the boss, notices his talents as a multi-instrumentalist, and regularly asks him to participate in recording sessions. You can hear Billy behind Jerry Lee Lewis, Charlie Rich or Barbara Pittman. Yet it was thanks to "flying Saucer Rock And Roll" and "Red Hot", two rock classics that Robert Gordon, Sleepy LaBeef and others would later sing, that his name became part of rock history. "Red Hot" is a song he borrows from black singer Billy The Kid Emerson.

The success of "Elying Saucer Rock And Roll", on which Jerry Lee Lewis plays the piano, led him to name his orchestra The Little Green Men. In 62, Billy Lee left Memphis, and Sun, for Hollywood where he continued his career. Yet these are his first recordings, "Saucer" and "Red Hot", but also "Trouble Round" (just wonderful!), "Rock With Me", "Pearly Lee", etc., which remain in everyone's mind as irrefutable proof of his talent.

Billy Lee Riley


In Billy Rileys früheren Leben war er ein Radio Hillbilly-Sänger in Arkansas, ein Rockabilly-Sänger auf dem ursprünglichen Sun-Label (in der Tat der wahrscheinlich beste Rockabilly-Sänger auf jedem Label), ein Blues-Mann (seine Lightnin' Leon Single täuschte die Compiler der ursprünglichen Blues Records-Diskographie) und ein Club-a-go-go-Sänger. Er war Künstler, Background-Musiker, Labelbesitzer und Produzent. Einige seiner Tracks waren auf einem Bo Diddley Album erschienen, und er hatte unter mehr Pseudonymen und für mehr Labels aufgenommen als jeder andere außer John Lee Hooker. 1967 wurde ein Album für sein eigenes Mojo-Label von Stax Records in Memphis erworben. Riley war zu der Zeit in Atlanta, entschied aber, dass Memphis wieder geschieht.

Stan Kesler, den Riley von seinem ersten Auftritt in Memphis kannte, leitete das Sounds of Memphis Studio und dort nahm Riley Kay mit einem scharfen Funk-Groove auf. Er stellte das Lied in Memphis aka Soul City USA wieder her, so dass die Zeile über Ft. Campbell (die Militärbasis nördlich von Nashville, wo Jimi Hendrix diente), weg war. Die Kluft zwischen Memphis und Nashville war nie offensichtlicher. Rileys Rhythmus-Track wurde von Keslers eigener Gruppe kreiert: Gitarrist Charlie Freeman, Bassist Tommy McClure, Schlagzeuger Sammy Creason und Jim Dickinson am Keyboard. Der Wah-Wah-Gitarrist könnte Riley selbst sein. Alle Musiker waren weiß, aber das war Funk von Grund auf.

Auf dem Label wurde Kay Riley's Libra Productions zugeschrieben. Riley spielte Kay für Sam Phillips, der sagte, es sei Rileys beste Platte. "Sam schlug mir vor, es für Shelby Singleton zu spielen, der gerade alle alten Sun-Meister gekauft und das Label Sun International gegründet hatte", sagte Riley später. "Ich habe alles arrangiert und hatte einen Teil der Memphis-Sinfonie, die Memphis-Hörner. Ich hatte das Beste vom Besten. Shelby kaufte die Platte und gab mir einen Job als Produzent und verlegte mich nach Fort Walton Beach, Florida, um dort in seinem Studio zu produzieren." Singleton lizenzierte es am 17. Juni 1969, ein paar Wochen bevor er Sun offiziell von Phillips kaufte. Kurz nachdem Riley nach Florida gegangen war, brachte Jerry Wexler von Atlantic Records Keslers Studiogruppe in die Criteria Studios in Miami, und Kesler selbst ging nach Nashville. Wieder einmal verließen alle die Stadt. Riley wurde desillusioniert, aber er lebte, um späten Beifall für seine frühen Platten zu genießen. Er starb am 2. August 2009. COLIN ESCOTT
