The Original Sound

Vinyl (Sun Records)




None could approach the Wink Troubadour in delivering ballads that ascended to upper registers. His prowess was equal to his lofty ambitions. But as revealed by these early recordings, he also had an acuity for rolling briskly. He could even rock it, when so called upon.

Recommended: "This Kind Of Love," "It's Too Late," "You're Gonna Cry," "You're My Baby," "I Never Knew," "Mean Little Mama," "Sweet And Easy To Love," "Rock House"
