Carl Perkins Honey Don’t Lyrics
Well how can you say you will when you won't
Say you do, baby, when you don't?
Let me know, honey, how you feel
Tell the truth, now, is love real?
But oh well, honey don't, well, honey don't
Honey don't, honey don't, honey don't
I say you will when you won't, oh honey, don't
Well, I love you, baby, and you ought to know
I like the way you wear your clothes
If it's in a batch you were so doggone sweet
You got that sand all over your feet
Well, sometimes I love you on a Saturday night
Sunday morning, you don't look right
You've been out painting the town
Uh baby, been stepping around

What’s really insane is that it’s live from 1 mic, no monitors, and the band is behind him and he had no mic. You can see the acoustic guitar player listening. Notice that Carl is the only one with an amplifier. And that early Les paul he’s playing. Back then this is how it was even at large shows. So you had to be really good.
What you mentioned here makes perfect sense and is something that should be studied by everyone who plays an instrument or sings. At that time it was clearly mandatory for all musicians to have basic notions of electroacoustics, something that today might not even occur to those starting out in this type of activity.
Let no one doubt that this type of knowledge is one of the biggest steps anyone can take from a technical and musical point of view.
Capturing is one of the most important things to consider and it often happens that the musician is unable to express himself in the right way because it is not something that is well studied. It is not just the music but the result of music and sound that will determine the success of a musical work.
Maybe that's why we still listen to music from that time in mono today and we can clearly see the perfection of the capture that is based on the study of microphones and their positioning.
If we look closely, in order to achieve a credible result like this nowadays, it would be almost mandatory to use 12 independent audio channels.
These guys did it with just a microphone and an audio track. In my opinion as a sound technician, this is what was valuable. And still is, today... is if we want to use technique and personal taste for the sound achieved.
Best sound regards.

I noticed you can only hear Carl and his LesPaul, the drums... maybe a few notes on the bass, but that guy on the acoustic guitar was just strumming in the wind
they musta had a boom mic just over Carl's head, just off camera
also sounds like Carl had that amp cranked up to 11 and the LP was driving it into mild distortion
just awesome for the 50s
@@kenwittlief255 Yep. Wonderful, mild tube distortion. I love the raw sound.
I agree with others here - Carl Doesn't get enough credit...
He was Out There doing it, trying to wake people up to the new world of music. What a Pioneer....
Agree he deserved more credit ..this guy was awesome
Saw Carl Perkins and Sir Paul McCartney on a late night TV talk/entertainment show, can’t remember which one. They played a song together, after which Mr. Carl Perkins said something like, “Wow, your a GOOD guitar player!! Sir Paul McCartney seemed quite taken aback. Mr. Carl Perkins was one of Sir Paul’s HEROES. music
GEORGE HARRISON LOVED CARL.....THAT'LL DO FOR ME.
@@jozefhatert6231 EXCUSE ME, but Carl Perkins won: A Grammy. Was inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame, the Memphis Hall of fame, performed with the best musicians, was widely revered....nobody under appreciated him. Maybe some younger millennials are just discovering him, but that hardly means Perkins was underrated.
@@stormytempest6521 That's just the infamous RUclips "so underrated" comment.
This song belongs to Carl , it was never written on paper he was adding words as he was tuning his guitar. A waitress the night before said " Honey Don't" when he wanted to throw a plate with cake on it at another customer. The song came together and recorded at sun records in Memphis in may of 1956 It was the B side to blue suede shoes which was going to be a single
Recorded in December 1955, released in less than a month.
Funny that Blue Suede Shoes also originated from an actual overheard comment.
Shocking the way he moves! I had no idea he could dance like that! I have gained even more respect for the legendary Carl Perkins.
I know. I had no idea he was such a great communicator and showman. Wow. 😮
I have also wondered if Elvis in his stage craft was influenced by how carl moved on stage
oh yes, the mephis elvis. .. lolololololo
early Beatles George Harrison emulated Carl's moves. George played your true love at Carl's funeral
I'm a 65 year old who listens mostly to punk. This guy slams!
Punk
The King Of Rockabilly!
I heard more about Carl from the Cramps than anywhere.
This is punker than punk!
He was the first true punk rocker.
One of the first true rock n rollers.
Carl Perkins is the man. Killer guitar. Fab moves. Great voice. Dynamite performer. Ringo is a big fan. The Beatles covered Carl Perkins and Buddy Holly. Terrific beat. Swing on that old dance floor on this one. Spin that girl now. RIP Carl Perkins. A true immortal rocker.
George was the biggest Carl Perkins fan in The Beatles
He was also a VERY handsome man. He had every gift. He was so good to the Beatles, far from resenting their worldwide fame, he reached out to George and John. A wonderful brilliant human being.
The most underrated & talented rock roll star of the fifties
Nobody underrated him. That's ridiculous. Look up his history. Read about his Grammy. All of the rock and roll inductions. How many artists revered him. HIS RECORD BLUE SUEDE SHOES WAS A MASSIVE HIT AS FAR BACK AS THE 1950S.
Here we go. That "underrated" comment on RUclips about a widely successful, influential, enormously popular entertainer. Yes, in the 1950s, too.
The sound that entranced the Beatles. Play it Carl!
And those look like [blue?] suede shoes too!
Ringo and George sang the Perkins covers for the Beatles.
The royalty cheques must be substantial. And John covered Blue Suede Shoes. Carl said Lennon's version was correct, Elvis rushed the timing. Not my words but his.
Yes, the energy and excitement of those early rock-n-roll days really fueled the Beatles desire to recreate that magic over in England, and Carl Perkins was definitely a pioneer in the whole "Rock-a-billy" scene.
@@timwhite5647 did Ringo or was it George sang it, can't rmbr on Xmas Eve. HAPPY XMAS JOHN & GEORGE & EVERYBODY 🎆🥂🎄❄️💥🥳⛄🍾🎇🎈😎😎😎😎.
@@seltaeb9691 Ringo! You can't tell? It's one of the few Beatles songs he sang lead on. A great time keeper and an even better singer IMO.
A lot of people do not realize how different things could have been in the rock world at the time. Carl was on his way driving to preform Blue Suede shoes on national television which would have been the world’s introduction to that song. However, fate would intervene when Carl was in a terrible car accident leaving him hospitalized. A few days later Elvis would instead preform Carl’s song Blue Suede shoes on television. Elvis more than likely would have become big regardless,but it was his preforming of Carl’s Blue Suede shoes on television that really helped to catapult him into the next stratosphere!
Also, Elvis visited Carl in the hospital, and Carl basically told him; words to the effect: "Take the song, OK? I can't tour, and you sing so good".
The real King of Rock n Roll.
no
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
I was thinking the same thing!
I also wonder if Elvis was influenced to how carl moved on stage
Don't forget Chuck Berry
I saw him at an outdoor oldies show at Penn’s Landing in Philadelphia back in the 1990’s. After his set he exited the stage to a crowd of admirers. He shook my hand and signed autographs for many others. He was a gracious and friendly man who never lost touch with the common people.
I like this version best. Man that cat can move!
This version is even better than the record!

The King Of Rockabilly!
I had the immense pleasure of playing this song (and many others) with Carl as drummer during his UK tour in 1980. What a blast !
I am a drummer and THAT IS COOOOOOOL!
@Tomriley great stories I’m sure lots of old musicians with historic stories ! I got to play with Muddy Waters in the 80’s
👍🆒. 2022🎇🥳
Wow. How cool is that? What was he like? Was he awesome? I am sure that must have gone down as one heck of a Life Experience! Would love to hear some stories.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hearing this in the mid 50's must have been unreal.....................
and this ruclips.net/video/5Z-ftscBjTQ/видео.html
or this ruclips.net/video/01bB6tCxpqI/видео.html
both songs came out in '56
Little wonder the Beatles covered this, great performance by Carl Perkins.

@@Dive-Bar-Casanova George had vastly improved on those licks by the time they put it down on record a year later!
Absolutely The Greatest of All The Rockers !!!!!!!!!!!
Isso é a essência do Rock n roll , os mestres , fantástico ver essa galera!!!😀😀😀😀😀👊👊👊👊👊👊
The King Of Rockabilly!
😍😍😍😍😍😍👍🎄🎄🎄🎄
The king of Rockabilly...❤❤
Музыка, движения, гитара, исполнение- все гармонично и прекрасно, а главное, натурально!!! Люди!!! Музыка вживую! Нам так сегодня её не хватает!
This is the best Rock-a-Billy song ever written! Brian Setzer’s 1974 Rock This Town comes in second. You cannot listen to a Rock-a-Billy song and not smile.
Fluke Holland and Carl were swinging hard. Carl's performance is nothing short of amazing. I've never played a 52 Goldtop but I heard they were difficult to play in the style that Carl demonstrated with perfection... while dancing up a storm. Thanks for posting!
P90 goodness
The way he moves - is he a forerunner of Elvis?
Electric guitars hadn't been long invented or so I thought but 1932 was the year. Didn't see George Formby with one. Bass gootar had yet to come, I mean it's a no brainer. The double bass guy had to lug these huge things around. Some still play 'em.
I have an early gold top 52/early 53 with the trapeze tailpiece. That is what I learned on so it wasn't difficult for me. I still play it sometimes but I have other guitars that I play also.
@@mryhdy6266 Could be. Carl and his brother were gigging musicians a little before Elvis and they were maybe 100 miles apart. I'd bet the music they were creating was moving both of them to have fun during their public performances. Not sure if Elvis was aware of the Carl before he got to Sun. But I would bet during this performance, Carl was out to make a statement!
One of the great, if not the greatest, rockabilly artist!
You can just see the faces of teenagers in Liverpool listening to this music for the first time, brought over by their elder brothers and uncles from America on the Cunard ships. We all know how that played out. Thanks for posting.
I LOVE this video and the song. Carl was the master of rock-a-Billy. And he has some great dance moves!
Those dance moves while playing the guitar live are amazing
He was so great! - Always had that unique presence. Hee was really there and really "on". Being that old footage. It's like it's happen right at the moment you watch it.
So cool!!! Thanks for sharing this great man's skills. Easy to tell he loves playing!!
Great ! Carl was a real rocker !!!
Quick story..I saw Carl on Charlie Rose , late at night, it had to be 25 -30 years ago or more, he told a story that blew my mind, Elvis has just signed with RCA, and was not longer obligated to Sun, Carl had a big hit going forward at Sun with "Blue Suede Shoes", they wanted Elvis to Cover it ASAP..he refused, he said Carl is my friend, I will do it, but when it starts to decline in record box as it, was a big hit for him.
Elvis recorded it late 56 or even 57, and it went well for him too .. when Carl told the story to Charlie Rose he said Elvis never told him, he only heard it from DJ Fontana (Drummer) after Elvis passed in 1977.. he actually started crying when he's told the story, it was really beautiful, as he said Elvis, recording that song early, might have crushed his career, but, didnt happen, worked out for both..
This is a classic of all classics! So far ahead of his time it is amazing.
Wunderschön excellent
Fantastic! Great!! Still playing the song today!
Amazing...hair on the back of my neck stood up straight away.
Fabuloso!! Rock and roll de la mejor cepa!!
24 year old Carl Perkins lettin' it rip! Great video.
Still 23 actually.
He was born on April 9, 1932 and this was recorded in March 1956.
Super mister Perkins !!!
Incredible ! Never saw this before ! Can you imagine 13 year old George Harrison seeing this ! Too bad he was in Liverpool instead of Southern Missouri !
Can't get much better then that ! Awesome tune 👌👌👍👍
amazing , carl was just perfect,seen him ounce and never have forgotten him,clean pure rockin stuff, thanks so much for this👌🎄
one of the biggest lord of rockabilies, in our minds forever.
Классные были исполнители
Great song, great artist!
Flippin amazing footage - thanks for sharing!
Respect à monsieur Carl perkins😊
The first time I heard this song when I bought a vinyl Beatles for Sale. They did a good cover, Ringo sang it well.
absolutely breath taking!!
Great. Love the dancing. Beatles covered alot of his songs.
I used to cover this in the early 80's. Tremendous version here !
Real Artist 👏👏👏👏👏👏
The Real King of Rock and Roll 👑
Best era. Good Music, Heroic Mans, Sweet girls.
Never More
Good rocker-- and that Les Paul sounds fabulous!
Saw him at a club that had a very strict city ordinance against playing even a minute past one am, and a dozen cops were there to shut it down; he played for thirty more minutes.
He was a real influence on the Beatles they did a few of his tunes 😎✌️👍♥️
Exceptional guitar picking
Killer music!👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Such a huge influence on so many musicians.
Great performance and sound for 50s television. If only Carl had elvis Hollywood looks......
Awesome and amazing foot work 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for sharing this video. Great music.
P-90's. Oh yeah. Nice post. TY. Like a time machine.
I’m used to the Beatles version. Carl sure nails it! He’s doing Ringo’s singing, John’s rhythm and George’s lead parts.
Only five days before the near-fatal car crash.
Gênios pioneiros do rock. Todas as homenagens para eles 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
πρωτη φορα το ακούω.καλο είναι.ο τροπος που το λέει ομως,δειχνει,απο τοτε,οτι θα γινονταν μια μουσικη κορυφη,ενας κορυφαιος μουσικός!πολύ ποιο σπουδαιος από τον Πρίσλεϊ,στον οποίο,αν εξαιρεσεις το Δατς ολραητ μαμα,όλα τα μετά ηταν αηδίες.Περκινς+Τζέρι Λη Λιούις ήταν οι κορυφές!
this is infinitely cool
Awesome
Back in the day when, for a live performance, you plugged into your amp that had a suitcase handle on top. Awesome sound.
Brutal , puro rock and roll !!!
Carl had it!
I recommend,Carl Perkins and friends dvd.
A pioneer
Carl Perkins never gets brought up when they mention guitarists who had signature moves. Yknow Chuck Berry's duckwalk. Elvis's swinging hips. But that little guitar shuffle Perkins did is iconic.
спасибо автору ролика....заслуженный палец вверх
Go Cat!,...GO!
Wonderful
Awesome.
I love all his “a-ah”
Carl was freaking cool!
Raw, respected talent. So memorable. Thank you for posting.
Great one
Les Paul with P90s and a trapeze tailpiece. Beautiful guitar. WoW
Crazy kick drum set up.
rockerrrrr. old school
Легенда рок-н-ролла!
Peace from Brazil for all
Génial
He Came Over To Our Home . my Father wwas Smiley Monroe from keyser, West Virginia We moved to Hollywood in the 50;s
My Dad was a D.J and recording artist and record distributer for Capital round Building. he would narrate the Hollywood Christmas parade around 1964
Great seeing Carl with his Les Paul.
The best rockabilly well in my opinion
brilliant!
Les Paul through a small cranked amp - beautiful. That is probably a gold top and definitely with single coil pickups.
Lovin' that Les Paul Gold Top with the P-90's. I think I hear some sweet amp breakup on that last chord. Even the Anacin sign in the back is swinging to the jam.
Nice Gibson .
Nice footwork
Un agrado.
I love how the rhythm guitar player is always staring at the back of Carl's head, and never even blinks, like a hawk watching a mouse.
One of the first. Never got the credit he deserved.
