THE OPEN ROAD - Sonny Velvet (Popstar 126 - 1959)

Life on the road isn't always easy... rushing from city to city, and often you don't even know where you are... That’s happened even to the biggest stars... In Elvis’s case, it’s legendary that his bandmates had to tell him right on stage where he was, and with Emmylou Harris, I was actually in the audience myself at Stuttgart’s Schleyer-Halle when she exclaimed, “I’m happy to be here in Frankfort...” Welcome to 3R! This is the place for new old sounds — Rock’n’Roll, Rockabilly, Rhythm & Blues, Country, Swing, Doo Wop and more, inspired by the great music of the 1940s, 1950s and early 1960s. The music presented on this channel consists of new productions created with the assistance of generative AI and music-production software. These are not historical recordings or newly discovered vintage masters. Fictional artists, record labels, catalogue numbers and vintage-style artwork are sometimes used as part of the presentation. We create these recordings with respect for the musicians, producers, songwriters and small independent record labels that gave us the music we still love today. Here you’ll find individual songs presented as forgotten 45s, as well as selections from complete 3R compilation projects. Coming soon: We are planning to make selected complete collections available as physical CD-on-Demand editions. Details will follow when everything is ready. Until then — turn it up, move the furniture and keep those old sounds alive! There are no bad days in life — just days with not enough Rock’n’Roll! 3R — New old records for people who still listen.
