Sun Studio Session
 
Sun Studio Session Quantity in Basket: None
Price: $9.00
Artist: The Successful Failures
Manufacturer: FDR Records
 
 
Quantity:
 

On May 1, 2025, The Successful Failures (Mick Chorba, Ron Bechamps, Rob Martin, Pete Smith) spent 7 hours hanging out on hallowed ground: 7 Union St, Memphis, TN - Sun Studio.  While on tour the band scheduled a special session at the iconic studio to record new material true to Sam Phillips' original vision of "perfect imperfection", in other words live music that captures a feeling, a mood - warts and all.  The EP here is the result of that session.  With three songs down, two new originals ("Shooting Craps With Uncle Richie" and "William D. Quinn") and a cover of the country classic "Long Black Veil" (multiple takes for each to get it just right...but not too right), the session approached midnight and time (and focus) was running low.  The band decided to knock out one more, "Guts" and did it in 2 takes.  Done.  “Mick Chorba and his Chesterfield, NJ quartet have been doing fine recording locally, even drawing Guided By Voices’ guru Travis Harrison to mix.  But little Sun Studio is still an ongoing dream - heck, I got chills just gawking around the Memphis Union St. ex-garage taking the tourist tour years ago, feeling its hallowed dent on my record collection.  It fits these rockers too, as if a poltergeist Carl Perkins, Billy Lee Riley, or Sam Phillips and Jack Clement themselves were producing. Naturally, in that super-live room (still!; clap your hands, you’ll see), SFs’ three originals plumb their organic backbeat and lunch pail late-Replacements/Wilco riff boppers like they’ve dealt for 19 years in fine style, Chorba’s primo every-Joe slice-of-life storytelling intact.  Amazingly, though, it’s the classic country cover, of Lefty Frizzell’s, Marijohn Wilkin/Danny Dill 1959 country #6 staple ‘Long Black Veil’ that’s the huge highlight - way more The Band’s (think “It Makes No Difference”) and Mike Ness’s versions than Johnny or Roseanne Cash.  Ooby Dooby!  It’s great!” - BigTakeover  GREAT!!
