After The Sun Sessions was released, Village Voice critic Robert Christgau hailed The Sun Sessions as “the rock reissue of the year”, writing in that along with Chuck Berry’s Golden Decade, its songs represented the wellspring of rock music.6 He later included it in his “basic record library” of essential albums from the 1950s and 1960s, published in Christgau’s Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies (1981). In 2003, the albums 1999 extended 2CD reissue was ranked No. 11 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time,8 maintaining the rating in a 2012 revised list,9 and dropping to number 78 in the 2020 reboot of the list.10 In 2001, the TV channel VH1 named it the 21st greatest album of all time.11 Music scholar Michael Campbell called it “quintessential rockabilly” with Presley’s voice “the magical element” drawing on country and rhythm and blues but confined to neither,12 while AllMusic critic Cub Koda said “what we ultimately have here is a young Elvis Presley, mixing elements of blues, gospel and hillbilly music together and getting ready to unleash its end result – rock & roll – on an unsuspecting world. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll included two tracks from the album: “Mystery Train” and “That’s All Right.” In 2002, The Sun Sessions were chosen by the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress to be included in its archives given their importance to the development of American popular music. This album is the very first Elvis album to feature “I Don’t Care If The Sun Don’t Shine”, which was only previously issued as a single. After more than 20 years, The Sun Sessions marked the song’s official debut on LP. | ||
