On Saturday July 29th, SIRIUS Satellite Radio will salute the legendary Memphis record label, Sun Records. Cowboy Jack Clement, Sun Records producer/songwriter and current SIRIUS Satellite Radio personality, will host How A Cowboy Made the Sun Rise as his tribute to the label. Clement started as a recording engineer at Sun Records in 1956 and became part of a musical revolution that signaled the birth of rock and roll.

On this anniversary of the death of Sun Records founder Sam Phillips, Cowboy Jack Clement will be playing music and sharing his first-hand recollections of working with Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash and many others. Clement will also air interviews with Jerry Phillips (Sam’s son), original label receptionist Sally Wilbourn, musical sidemen Roland James and J M Van Eaton, and author Peter Guralnick (Last Train to Memphis, Careless Love: The Unmaking of Elvis Presley).

How A Cowboy Made the Sun Rise will air on Saturday, July 29 from 2 to 6pm ET (and re-broadcast on Sunday, July 30 at 6pm ET) on SIRIUS Outlaw Country (ch 63).
