Few 1950s rockabilly platters more rousingly define the genre — or more fully capture its decadently dangerous side — better than Elvis Presley's February 5, 1955, Sun Records waxing of "Baby Let's Play House." Produced by the legendary Sam Phillips at his fabled studio at 706 Union in Memphis, the incendiary performance hails from rockabilly's formative era, when the rules hadn't yet been cast in stone and Elvis was still experimenting in overdrive, searching for the compelling sound that would catapult him to icon status in little over a year (the track proved Presley's first national hit, rising to number five on Billboard's country charts midway through 1955). Presley's slapback echo-laden hiccuping-briefly rendered a cappella before the snarling low-end guitar of Scotty Moore enters, crackling with roadhouse-tested fire segues into an irresistibly lascivious declaration of lust and (at least on the final payoff line) a not-so-subtle hint of violence. Both of Moore's immaculately conceived and executed solos were monstrously influential to the rockabilly idiom, copied by countless Southern axe-wielding teens, and Bill Black slaps his thundering upright bass so percussively that no drummer was necessary.
