RIP Roland Janes

During the 50´s, Sun Records guitarist and longtime Phillips Recording engineer, Roland Janes who had played with most of the Sun Records´artists except Elvis Presley, passed away this afternoon at Methodist Hospital in Memphis 

 Along with Scotty Moore and Carl Perkins, Janes developed the rockabilly guitar style at Sun Records.  He was the guitarist whose solos on ''Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On'', ''High School Confidential'', and countless other Sun records are engrained in our collective memory. His work ran the gamut from the tasteful and economical little solo on the bridge of ''Raunchy'' to the deliriously over-the-top intro to Billy Riley's ''Flying Saucers Rock And Roll''. He played on and produced Harold Dorman's ''Mountain Of Love'', and issued it on a label he co-owned. As a producer, he recorded Travis Wammack's ''Scratchy'', Mat Lucas's ''I'm Movin' On'', and Jerry Jaye's ''My Girl Josephine'', all of them among the best records to come out of Memphis in the early to mid 1960s 

I met Roland in February at the Sam Phillips International Co. He was a  polite and kind man, he talked very well about Elvis and he dedicated a beautiful song about a Spanish lady. I will never forget the special conversations with him. R.I.P. Roland.
