“Sorry I Lied“ shows yet again that the Thomas family could record, with remarkably little outside help, some totally engaging pop music in 1958. Ed’s debt to a host of rhythm and blues masters, notably Ray Charles, is evident in every note of this record. It is no surprise that Sam Phillips continued to record the Thomasses. Quite apart from their potential for local promotion, they were genuinely talented people whose musical style had a directness and emotionally that must have brought a smile to Sam Phillips’ face each and every tim e.
