But with so many stories to tell, Sun Records loses focus. King, Ike Turner, Muddy Waters and Fats Domino. However, the show does something absolutely right: adding the influential sounds of artists B.B. And while we need the context of the segregated South, most of the time the overt racism is gratuitous. It's a wholesome afterschool-special biopic mixed with a soapy night-time drama. Records also stumbles on finding the right tone. The show has six years of backstory to get through, and it's severely lacking in musical numbers, which are some of the show's best scenes. For example, Drake Milligan, who plays Presley, is more like the John Stamos' Elvis impression on Full House but not as charming.

Sun Records sure takes its time introducing each familiar face. But CMT's eight-part drama based on the Broadway musical Million Dollar Quartet just doesn't live up to the legends' legacies. 4, 1956, and solidify a new sound of music that still resonates 60 years later. The four musicians walk into Phillips' recording studio for an impromptu jam session on Dec. You know the names: Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis. Sam Phillips was an early pioneer for rock 'n' roll and - if you believe CMT's new scripted series Sun Records - the drugs and sex, too.
