James Burton : The Early Years : 1957-1969 CD
The first of two volumes that document the career of one of the world's greatest-ever guitarists, recognized as such by many top musicians, including Keith Richards, who gave the induction speech when James entered the Rock 'n' Roll Hall Of Fame. James Burton's instantly recognizable finger-picking style graced many fine records by artists including Dale Hawkins, Rick Nelson and John Denver. He was the mainstay of Elvis Presley's TCB band, backing him on record and in concert. The earliest track on this first volume is from 1956 with his first-ever recording, backing Carol Williams, for Shreveport's Ram Records, and finishes with Buddy Cagle's Guitar Player from 1969. The compilation contains many rarities and ten of the tracks are making their CD debut. A second volume will document Burton's later career with Elvis Presley, Gram Parsons, Emmylou Harris and others.

Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD
Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. + Plus Bonus DVD Audio.
This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.
The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.
