Elvis Presley Johnny Cash on ‘Sun Gospel’ CD
Los Angeles Times
I'm ashamed to say I barely touched the surface. ""Sun Gospel" contains 31 gospel recordings from Sun's vaults most rarities as well as a previously unreleased inspirational recitation by Phillips. These historic recordings make you wish Phillips who died in 2003 at the age of 80 had recorded more gospel music because he tried to draw just as much individuality and character out of these sessions as he did in his rock blues and country selections. Phillips' other discoveries included Jerry Lee Lewis Carl Perkins and Charlie Rich each of whom is represented on this CD.

When the Akron hio-based duo arrived in 2002 with its debut album “The Big Come Up” it provided a departure from the slicked-up watered-down sound that so often passes for authentic blues.
