Introduction

This is part two of a three-parter about Sun Records and the birth of rockabilly. Johnny Cash started out recording for Sam Phillips at Sun Studios, making music that was stylistically indistinguishable from any of the other rockabilly artists there. Before you listen to this one, you might want to go back and listen to last week's episode on Blue Suede Shoes Because the stories of Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins tie together quite a lot.
