Buy Now	Good Rockin' Tonight: The Legacy of Sun Records (more) »rank: 32073 by: Various Artists : :Most of the artists on this tribute to Sam Phillips's legendary Memphis label have chosen to cover the rockabilly hits. It isn't until a genuine Sun rockabilly artist--the late Carl Perkins--makes an appearance, joining Van Morrison for Howlin' Wolf's 'Sittin' on Top of the World,' that things briefly get bluesy.

But Elton John and Mandy Barnett both do ...

Keith Richards's reedy vocal makes 'You Win Again' all his own, and Bob Dylan, who ...
