On January 5, what would have been Sam Phillips’ 103rd birthday, Sun Records is honoring its legendary founder by doing something almost unheard of in today’s economy: rolling prices backward instead of pushing them higher.

Blues-rock powerhouse ZZ Ward today releases Liberation: Deluxe Edition (Sun Records), a dynamic expansion of her acclaimed March 2025 LP. The deluxe set adds unreleased gems—including the new single “Halfway There”—and a slate of live recordings captured at East West Studios in Los Angeles and the legendary Sun Studio in Memphis.
“This expanded version means a lot to me because it shares songs we purposely held back from the original album, not because they didn’t belong, but because they were so special we wanted to give them their own moment,” says Ward. “Altogether, the deluxe album shows more sides of my artistry and feels like both a celebration of the music and a personal milestone.”
On Wednesday, September 10, Sun Label Group brought its artists and community together for a packed AmericanaFest Day Party at Vinyl Tap in East Nashville.

The Waterboys today announce Rips From The Cutting Room Floor, a companion disc to their acclaimed Life, Death And Dennis Hopper containing extra tracks and vignettes, and arriving December 5th via Sun Records. The first single, “The Next Time I Saw Elvis,” will be released on all streaming platforms today, with the album now available for pre-save and pre-order.
“These are tracks that didn’t make the album,” says bandleader Mike Scott. “Not because of quality control reasons, but because they broke the narrative. But we want to share them with people and they make a cool little record on their own.”
Seventy years ago, Carl Perkins’ single, “Blue Suede Shoes,” struck down on a staid music landscape like a bolt of lightning. It shocked and electrified the world with its infectious blend of country, blues, and pop, and is often considered one of the first rockabilly songs. The King Of Rockabilly, Carl Perkins, returns to Sun Records just in time to celebrate 70 years of “Blue Suede Shoes” with the landmark, never-before-heard album, Some Things Never Change, out October 24th, 2025. The 10-song collection was produced by Grammy-nominated songwriter, musician, recording artist, and producer Bill Lloyd. Nashville-based Lloyd is often remembered as half of the chart-topping country-rock duo Foster & Lloyd. The album’s first single, revved-up rocker, “Memphis In The Meantime,” is out today. Some Things Never Change will be available on vinyl, CD, and across all streaming platforms.
The unmistakable voice of Johnny Cash returns in a groundbreaking celebration of sound, thanks to a collaboration between world-class institutions Sun Records, the label that famously launched Cash’s career, and McIntosh, the leading name in audio excellence. Released today, McIntosh SESSIONS Volume 2: Pure Johnny Cash is an exclusive 18-track double album that revives the energy and emotional depth of Cash’s early years through meticulously restored and rarely heard recordings.
Eleven years ago, recording artist and platinum-selling songwriter, composer, record producer, and multi-instrumentalist Coyle Girelli collaborated with Grammy-winning songwriter, artist, and actor Mac Davis on a potential duets album. Davis died in 2020, and the album stayed unfinished until now.
On August 29th, Sun Records will release this achingly beautiful album, Out of This Town. An unlikely partnership, a multi-generational collaboration, and a bag of lost, unfinished songs bring this one-of-a-kind album by Coyle Girelli to life. The 12-track collection’s first single, “Pretty,” is out today, and the preorder is live now. Out of This Town will be available on vinyl, CD, and via all streaming services.
