VIDEO: Newly-released trailer for CMT's "Sun Records"

For over two months, Memphians made space for vintage cars and hordes of mid-century extras during the filming on Sun Records, the CMT Network's upcoming TV show about the birth of rock and roll. 

The $6 million production, formerly known as Million Dollar Quarter, filmed in and around Memphis earlier this year. A newly-released trailer gives a first look at the show which will premier at 9 p.m. CT on Feb. 23. 

Sun Records stars Chad Michael Murray as Sun Records founder Sam Phillips, Billy Gardell as Elvis Presley's manager Colonel Tom Parker, Drake Milligan as Presley, Kevin Fonteyne as Johnny Cash, Christian Lees as Jerry Lee Lewis and Kerry Holliday as Ike Turner.
