"A fresh look at a familiar catalog, Bear Family's 2017 compilation Great Drums at Sun presents 28 tracks cut at Sam Phillips' famed studio. The concentration isn't on songs but rather on fevered drummers - drummers who could bash, bang, and groove ... There are some unfamiliar names here - Vernon Taylor, Ray Harris, and Jimmy Williams - but there are also deep cuts and alternate takes, all emphasizing what a hotbed of talent Sun was in the '50s".

"Top 20 (almost) rock reissues of 2017 [nr. 9]" - "It's a good listen, even if I find it a peculiar concept, enhanced by excellent liner notes that focus on the drumming heard on these selections".
