sonny wilson

from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives, vol.1" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"Sonny Wilson was an Elvis-styled vocalist. Like Elvis, Sonny recorded a single for the Sun label ("The Great Pretender") as his debut release. Sonny Wilson's backing band sometimes included Paul Buff and Dave Aerni, and they played local bars when not recording. This extra money was essential for Buff to keep Pal going. "Troubled Times" was first issued on Buff's Plaza label in August 1961 before an edited version was licensed to Candix. It was produced by Paul Buff and John Fisher. Wilson recorded many tracks at Pal, but only three were released at the time. This 20-volume series will eventually include all of Sonny Wilson's recordings."

from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives, vol.2" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"Sonny Wilson's "Lonely Nights" was first released on the Plaza label in August 1961. This is the song that Frank Zappa loved and mentioned in interviews, but he mistakenly called it "Lonely Lips." This was the only song from the recording session licensed to Candix that was not reissued on that label. Candix instead went with "I Ain't Giving Up Nothin'" and "Troubled Times" as their single pairing."

from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives, vol.3" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"Sonny Wilson's "I Ain't Giving Up Nothin'" was co-written by Brook Benton, who would later score big with "Rainy Night In Georgia" in 1970."

from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives, vol.4" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"Sonny Wilson’s “True Love” was one of his many unreleased Pal masters from 1961. It’s amazing that nearly all of his output was not released at the time."

from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives, vol.5" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"Sonny Wilson was always compared to Elvis Presley, and when he covered a song like “My Proudest Possession” that Elvis was known for, the comparisons were unavoidable. Despite his vocal similarities to Elvis, Sonny Wilson added enough of himself to deliver an excellent version of the song. It has not been released until now."

from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives, vol.7" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"Too bad no one ever heard Sonny Wilson's "The Day My Baby Left Me" because it was never released. This 1960 Pal recording is one of Sonny's first after releasing his Sun single."

from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives, vol.8" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"Sonny Wilson is represented by a pair of unreleased tracks - "Fall In Love With You" and "Squirrel Cage." Both are different than the Elvis-inspired material that he is known for. As an added bonus, the first (breakdown) take of "Squirrel Cage" is included before the final version."

from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives, vol.9" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"Sonny Wilson's "Drowning In An Ocean Of Tears" is different than all his other unreleased tracks thanks to the harmonica that runs throughout."

from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives, vol.13" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"A lot of time was spent on getting Sonny Wilson's "Troubled Times" just right. Before they got there, though, they recorded a demo version at a different pace."

from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives, vol.14" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"Sonny Wilson's band proved that they could record some quality material at Pal without their leader, as "Guitar Workout" clearly indicates. A later volume will have another track that they recorded - "Cotton Pickin' Rock." "

from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives, vol.15" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"You want more variations? Try the album mix of The Tornadoes' "The Inebriated Surfer" (engineered by Frank Zappa) and Sonny Wilson's "Lonely Nights" before final overdubs. In-between the Sonny Wilson cut and "Evil Underneath," you are treated to another brief Buff drum track recorded in glorious mono!"

from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives, vol.18" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"We also have some brief pieces from The Friendly Torpedoes (the introductory piece of "Nothing's Too Good For My Car"), The Buff Organization ("Dance With The Chickens") and a fragment from Sonny Wilson's "Fall In Love With You" session."

from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives, vol.19" liner notes by Greg Russo:
""Cotton Pickin' Rock" by The Sonny Wilson Band is the only other existing Pal master by the band without its leader. It was done in 1961 and makes its debut on this release."

from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives, vol.20" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"We have lots of alternate versions on this volume from The Bongo Teens (the mono LP version of "Baja Bongos"), The Hollywood Persuaders (the single version of "Yes, I Want To Dance," an alternate version of "Sunset Strip," the original stereo mix of "Tijuana," the demo and single versions of "Drums" and "Drums A-Go-Go," and the demo of "Agua Caliente"), The Buff Organization ("Windows" with Paul and Allison Buff's vocals, and the stereo mixes of "Studio 'A'" and "Upside Down World"), and Sonny Wilson (an unreleased demo version of "My Proudest Possession")."
