Lisa “King” Christian to record at Sun Studios in Memphis

At the end of October, Lisa Christian will be traveling to Memphis, TN. to record at the legendary Sun Studios, the birthplace of Rock and Roll. Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins all made their first groundbreaking records at Sun.

Lisa will be reunited with Skip Heller, who produced her most recent album “Slide off Your Satin Sheets”. She will be a guest on Skip’s new record, interpreting classic blues gems by W.C. Handy and The Memphis Jug Band.

Recording at 706 Union Ave. will be “…thrilling and humbling” says Christian, who has also recorded in Muscle Shoals, AL.  with Jimmy Johnson. “ To be recording in the same place where so many of my heroes made so many great records … well, it will be truly amazing.”

Tom Petty, U2, Bonnie Raitt and The Indigo Girls have all recorded at Sun Studios recently. The recording studio was remodeled and refurbished in 1987.
