So many definitive rockabilly recordings came out on the Sun Records label that the label has come to be synonymous with rockabilly. Although the label didn't release rockabilly exclusively--lots of blues and country recordings were released on Sun too--it's those pioneering rockabilly recordings that put the label on the map. Rockabilly musicians the world over have been trying to duplicate that distinctive "Sun sound" ever since Elvis' "That's All Right" changed the course of pop music forever. While other labels turned out records that you could say were equally as great as the Sun releases, no one has ever really been able to nail that original Sun sound.
