BILL YATES - THE SUN YEARS PLUS

Bill Yates first informal session at Sun appears to have been on May 10, 1963 when it is likely he and the Adams band were just running through their nightly repertoire. Nothing was issued from the session at the time but included here several unissued songs. ''Boom Boom'' was obviously a current band favorite, based on John Lee Hooker's rhythm and blues hit from the summer of 1962, while ''Before I Lose My Mind'' and ''Every Night About This Time'' were bluesy ballads that presumably became favorities at the Hide-A-Way as the evening wore on. In contrast, ''Popcorn Polly'' was a fairly recent Charlie Rich composition, written in his days as a Sun session pianist just starting to forsake jazz to make teen-oriented records. Yates shared a bandstand with Rich on several occasions and may have learned the song directly from him as it was not issued at the time.
