Saw him play a little club up north on an off night back in the late 70s. ( many bands on the road would play off nights at small clubs on the way to the next major city to play the large concert venues to cover touring costs) He played all the hits. I became a fan from that night forward.
In 2005 my wife,son and myself took a weekend trip to Memphis. I stood on the sidewalk in front of the old Sun Records building. I still get chills thinking about what I felt there. Hallowed ground.
I was born and raised in Memphis and frequently visited Sun and even recorded a couple of CDs and was very fortunate to be there to meet Carl and what an honor it was...
Great tune! I like to sneak away to a used book store once in awhile. It is in a building that's about 150 years old. A real hideaway with lots of character. While browsing today this song was playing through their speaker system. I couldn't help doing a little dance in the aisles. :)
Exactly. I can't find another example of a rock n' roll song of this era that uses borrowed chords such as this unexpected "C" (bVI). I really like how the song goes back and forth between this mysterious and dark verse section and the more straightforward and uplifting chorus. This unsettling feeling is kinda what makes the song so special to my ears.
Remembering Carl Perkins born on April 9, 1932. He was an American guitarist, singer and songwriter. A rockabilly great and pioneer of rock and roll, he began his recording career at the Sun Studio, in Memphis, beginning in 1954. Among his best-known songs are "Blue Suede Shoes", "Honey Don't", "Matchbox" and "Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby". - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Perkins
This great,great man,truly never got his due!! Elvis REALLY overshadowed this brilliant man! Not only that but,the death of his brother just after releasing Blue Suede Shoes,hit him really hard!!
he had a car accident the day before recording "Blue Suede Shoes" his composition, and Elvis recorded it the next day... the rest is History, CARL PERKINS> elvis. "the only reason the Beatles exist is thanks to Carl Perkins" -James Paul McCartney
Yes, Carl Perkin's original version is so full of energy. Pure, raw rockabilly. Beatles obviously didn't get it, they didn't understand rockabilly. Dat groove man! Dat singin' ! Even solos sound better.
I have Sun record with honey don't I'm on the other side Blue suede shoes I bought it when I was just a teenager I have a collection of 45 records . I used to play to play honey don't play that a lot more than the Blue suede shoes but I like the music I was just a teenager growing up I still love to listen to the old rock and roll music even to this day I love to hear the old rock and roll music ,I I listen to country music too my late husband got me listening to country music love it too .
Have a question. I like the way Carl Perkins sings this song , so yeah thumbs up. Did The Beatles ever record '' Honey Don't '' ? I'm not a Beatles fan even thou I'm 48 years old. I like some songs of The Beatles but my knowledge of them is not vast. Peace people and thanks . Long Live Elvis Presley , The true King Of Rock 'N Roll !!!!!!!!!
The Beatles did a cover of this song, with Ringo on lead vocal. In the US, you will find it on BEATLES '65. On that same album, you will hear George be the lead vocal on EVERYBODY'S GOT TO BE MY BABY.
Both amazing. But I love Carls guitar playing so much. And MATCHBOX is my fave rockabilly/rock n roll record of ALLTIME. So I have to give Carl the edge for me personally. Some of Elvis vocal deliveries though were off the chart. Like My Baby Left me and Jailhouse Rock.
It's hard to believe in all the world, only 3200 people have listened to this. The b-side of 'Blue Suede Shoes' by their author. I'd just like to know what "you got that sand all over your feet" means...how many people think it's a Beatles song...
sand all over your feet refers to dancing in open toe shoes or especially just stockings and they put sand on the hard wood dance floors in roadhouses at the time
I agree, and that's pretty much what this excellent Finnish Rockabilly trio did in the 1970s....Teddy And The Tigers: ruclips.net/video/KJyEmYkgnXw/видео.html
S.O.S., cantada por Raul Seixas, é plágio de "Spaceman", música lançada em 1966 pelo The Byrds. Alguns falam em versão ou melodia inspirada na banda, mas foi cópia mesmo!
"Heartbreak Hotel" from Elvis Presley was recorded in January 1956. "Honey Don't" from Carl Perkins was recorded in December 1955. Maybe it was Elvis who wanted to sound like Carl?
Actually, you couldn't be more wrong. Carl Perkins was in the UK and on the same bill as the Beatles who admired him greatly. This was 1964. They invited him into the studio where they were recording what would become "Beatles For Sale" and they were short on material because they had spent so much time touring. So they went back to their rock and roll roots and recorded some "covers" including two Carl Perkins songs - the rumour is that Carl himself suggested that they look at a couple of his songs. It was a good call for two reasons. 1) Carl Perkins songs were less well known in the UK than a lot of other rock n roll songs so the songs would sound fresh to the Beatles audience while helping them out with the shortage of their own material and 2) it gave Carl Perkins a huge income boost because that album sold and sold worldwide and he had two songs on it. Every pop composer in the world would have given their right arm to have just one track on a Beatles album for the royalties they would earn and the Beatles gave one of their own teen heroes two songs on their album and a big fat pay cheque. THEY STOLE NOTHING. They became firm friends with him. George and Ringo appeared on stage with him in later years and Paul invited him to join him in the studio when making one of his solo albums. You really do have it all wrong.

Hey great rock n roll 🎸!! Carl perkins was a great talent!!
Rock'n Roll will never die.
Carl Perkins, the best songwriter of the rockabilly era. Thanks for posting this one!
He sure was one of the best , I will add Chuck Berry who I consider in some way rockabilly .
@@cardonaburban Love Chuck's music..But rockabilly..? NAH!! :)
@@cardonaburban Berry was defeinitely not rockabilly.
Bloody right !
@@cardonaburban chuck was rock n roll, not rockabilly
Always been a big Beatles fan and thought I'd check out the original.
Awesome. Always impressed with the quality of these old recordings. Great singer! The origins of modern rock music.

ROCKABILLY!!!!! LOVE IT!!!! and so did the BEATLES!
@The dark knight returns example of 'hippie bull'?
@The dark knight returns That's not a song by The Beatles
@The dark knight returns Their India failure ruined them!
When guitar playing was really great/ and not as easy as it is today as all they had access to back then were those heavy Black Diamond strings !!!###
So gloriously funky, jumpin' a mile high, spontaneous and 100% American made in the best post war traditions!
What kind of sick genius writes a song that goes from E to c
The one singing
CARL PERKINS DOES

PERFECT GOLD CARL PERKINS 1960 2020 THE US GODFATHER
One of the great overlooked rock n' roll classics of the 50's. Just as good as Blue Suede Shoes but not as well known.
Great guitar licks
Grown up with the fab four's version. This is great, it lopes and swings. Sounds great in lockdown London.
More like the drab four
I love these old songs!
the soundtrack our lives... rock n roll yeah
AWESOME
I feel like I'm rite out of 1955. I love it.
Happy Birthday Carl, 4/9/1932..... R.I.P.

GOOD FOR CARL PERKINS THE GODFATHER 2020
Brilliant
Nice touch on adding the different label re-releases.
COVERED EXCELLENTLY IN 1964 BY THE BEATLES. BUT CARLS ORIGINAL STILL HASNT BEEN SURPASSED. AND WONT BE.
I'm not a musician but Ringo's version has the beat, the same rythm to me... (gilberto lehrer from brazil)
Do you wanna borrow my hearing aid, the drab four killed rock n roll n rockabilly

The real king of rock n roll..elvis was more "eye candy" and marketable than carl so he got the attention
Elvis Presley had good looks but he still discovered by people every year
Hallowed...................I feel it..................................
The real elvis!!!
I always thought Elvis was the " king of rock n roll" until I heard Carl Perkins properly ,sorry Elvis you were great but he was better.
Both amazing. But I love Carls guitar playing so much. And MATCHBOX is my fave rockabilly/rock n roll record of ALLTIME. So I have to give Carl the edge for me personally.
Some of Elvis vocal deliveries though were off the chart. Like My Baby Left me and Jailhouse Rock.
Same. Came out the year was born.
I respect carl perkins but as foreigner person elvis and Marilyn Monroe are the Great american idols of last century
I don't think he was better, but first.!!!!
