Jimmy Wages, a rockabilly artist from Tupelo, Mississippi, shared his formative years with Elvis Presley, attending the same school before Presley relocated to Memphis. In 1956, Wages ventured to Memphis, recording several original tracks at Sun Records, including "Mad Man" and "Miss Pearl." Despite the raw energy and unique lyrical themes of his compositions, none were released during his lifetime. Wages' music, characterized by its unconventional narratives and Southern roots, has since been recognized for its distinctive contribution to the rockabilly genre.
