Slashing blues, infectious R&B, formulaic rock & roll, moving gospel - keyboardist Billy "The Kid" Emerson's songwriting skills made him a valuable commodity around Sun. His bluesy 1955 outing "When It Rains It Pours" elicited a cover from Elvis a few years later at RCA, while Emerson's "Red Hot" (a takeoff on an old cheerleaders chant from Emerson's school days) became a savage rockabilly anthem revived by Billy Lee Riley for Sun and Bob Luman on Imperial. Enjoy Billy "The Kid" Emerson's essential hits that cemented him as a Sun Records phenomenon and blues legend.
