Bio: Brian Cottrill had a lifelong dream to go to Sun Studio to record. “When I was growing up, my parents were always playing Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Jerry Lee Lewis on the stereo. I was in awe of how Sam Philips pioneered rock ‘n’ roll at Sun Studio and Sun Records.” Cottrill’s wife, Anita, bought him studio time at Sun as a birthday present. They planned to go in 2020, but the pandemic derailed that and they finally got to go in 2023. Drummer Bob Workman said, “The historic vibes at Sun were powerful! We used their guitars and drums. The drum kit I played was owned by Larry Mullen Jr. of U2. He left it at Sun when U2 recorded songs for Rattle And Hum there.” “We took the studio tour in the afternoon and started recording there in the evening. My upright bass was standing in the same floor indentation where Johnny Cash’s and Elvis’ bassists had theirs. We sang through Elvis and Johnny Cash’s microphone," said bassist John Anderson Farmer. Sun engineer Daniel Crockett recorded two songs for Dream Trippers at Sun. In the weeks that followed, the band recorded two more songs at home to round out the EP. “I love fifties rock and rockabilly and I went on a tear of writing songs in that style!” said Cottrill. The EP features four songs, two recorded at Sun: "3 Kisses Tonight" and "Get On This Train"; and two recorded in West Virginia: "Drive On A Sunny Day" and "I'm Going To Memphis." "Going to Sun was a pilgrimage for us. To record at ground zero of the birth of rock and roll was a total thrill!" said Workman.
