The label that brought Sonny Burgess back into the public eye presides
over the return of yet another Sun Records maniac. Riley was a frother
whose "Red Hot" and "Flying Saucer Rock And Roll" set high dementia
standards in the '50s. He reappears with his energetic croak undiminished,
backed by a feisty band that includes onetime guitar prodigy Travis
Wammack, his mentor Roland Janes, and fellow Sun alumni J.M. Van Eaton
and Ace Cannon. More than slightly wild, and good fun.
