Billy Lee Riley
Rocks (Bear Family)




Billy Lee's hot-rodded cover of Billy 'The Kid' Emerson's "Red Hot" and mad-dash "Flying Saucers Rock and Roll" may be his most widely known efforts. But many of the multi-instrumentalist's other sides, for Sun and others, also yielded treasure. Listen to "Betty and Dupree," "Your Cash Ain't Nothin' But Trash," or "Little Green Men." and get hip to the tip.

Recommended: "The Little Green Men," "Red Hot," "Flying Saucer Rock 'n' Roll," "Pearly Lee," "I Want You, Baby," "Got the Water Boiling," "College Man," "Baby, Please Don't Go," "Betty and Dupree," "Rockin' On the Moon," "Your Cash Ain't Nothin' But Trash," "I've Been Searching" (As Darron Lee).
