Billy Riley: The Mojo Albums, Plus (CD)
Both ofBill Riley's rare and sought-after Mojo albums available now for the first time in 30 years.
The'Vintage' rock 'n' roll album features rockabilly legend Larry Donn whose red-hot rockin' piano helps Billy Riley rip through ten rock 'n' roll classics in half an hour. Way to go! 'Southern Soul At The Brave-Falcon' serves up another 12 hypnotic tracks in a visceral, bluesy set of shuffling, rocking rhythms. You can practically smell the magnolia. Also included are the rare Mojo single as by Skip Wiley and a clutch of unissued tracks including a longer version of the Chuck Berry Medley.
The late Billy Lee Riley was one of the titanic but unsung pioneers of rock 'n' roll. He was better looking than Carl Perkins, his multi-instrumental ability surpassed Elvis's, his confidence equalled
Jerry Lee Lewis's. And he was important to Sun Records in ways other were not. Billy Riley's musicians, co-opted as studio session-men, plotted the course of rock 'n 'roll as much as many a more celebrated band.
Like the household names, Billy Riley had a life after Sun and this 29-track CD contains two diverse but equally versatile albums made some 14 years apart. 'Vintage', from 1980, is a solid, renascent set of immortal rock 'n 'roll classics inspired by the renewed European interesting rockabilly and Sun Records. Then there's 'Southern Soul At The Brave-Falcon' which features R&B standards, Top 40 tunes and
Billy Riley's own songs in a live nightclub recording which captures the best sounds of the era. It's sexy, blues 'n' boogie based soulful music and when Billy Riley hollers 'Do the Temptation Walk' it's the mid-60s all over again.
As Bear Family always goes that extra, obsessional mile, we've included a longer undubbed version of the Chuck Berry Medley, several other previously unissued performances and a rare Mojo single issued under de pseudonym ofSkip Wiley.

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
