Sun Records, the show, doesn't quite tap into the raw power of rock and roll - or blues, or rockabilly, or R&B.

It's more a sampler of Early Scenes from Great Lives than a deep or driven narrative. That is also its strength, in a way - the more casual the material, the more naturally it plays. The more serious things get, the more the writing resorts to cliché.

With so many stories to tell, Sun Records loses focus.
February 23, 2017
Repetitious and clumsy as it lurches from one disparate subplot to another, Sun Records is such a slow burn it's kind of a fizzle.

Thankfully, there's nothing stagy-looking about the production itself; Sun doesn't skimp on period detail and dusty, warm-toned atmosphere.

Sun Records is just too damn much fun to watch to get hung up in the details. The stories are magnetic, and so are the performances.
