Timeless! A romp through music history
I'm not crazy about rockabilly or country music, but when the Beatles (especially George Harrison) sang their praises (literally) about Carl Perkins' influence on their music, it made me open my musical ears. Highly recommended; very enjoyable; great for sharing. I found this while browsing at the now closed CD Warehouse. My favorites are #5 - Give Me Back My Job (with Perkins, Bono, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Tom Petty) from 1996-- but still relevant today. A fun song is #3 Rockabilly Music (with Paul Simon) - a look at what "touring" was like back in the 50s and 60s. It was hard work -- sometimes lousy food and worse hotel rooms and you might not get paid at all; no wonder the goal was to make that hit record and get off the road -- or get your own luxury tour bus! George Harrison, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr each got to sing with their musical hero. Man, who could ask for anything more? Perkins could have been as famous as Elvis, but a bad auto accident and the release of Elvis' version of Perkins' composition Blue Suede Shoes before his record relegated Perkins to the musical sideline. But look at what he received instead: a stable, long-lasting family life, the respect and friendship of other musicians who delighted in his company and his work, and audiences who enjoyed having him around! .


Just a Great CD
I didn't know much of Carl Perkins music, so this was my introduction. This is a great collaboration of artistes. I had a copy and liked it so much I had to replace it. His work with the other artists (John Fogerty, Paul Simon, Ringo, Bono, Tom Pety, Paul McCartney. Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, George Harrison) is wonderful. One song (Give Me Back My Job) has Willie, Bono, Johnny, & Tom on it, and it works well.

Love this CD.


country, rockabilly, great artists, a real nice listen...
. This is a nice collection; country with Cash and Willie, others with Hendirx, Lennon, Petty, John Fogerty; it is amazing how well he meshes with all those artists.


What a find!


So much more than I expected- it's like you almost can't believe all the great artists he has collaborated with- Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Johnny Cash, Bono, Jimi Hendrix, George Harrison, Ringo, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Paul Simon, Willie Nelson- Wow, this dude knows everyone :)

He can rockabilly alright, these songs will get your toes tapping and buns wiggling in your seat! The slower songs like "Quarter Horse" are wonderful too. What a fun CD!! I happened upon it by accident looking for Tom Petty stuff and now it is like one of my favorite CDs. I dare you NOT to be a Carl Perkins fan after listening to this awesome CD. .


half the songs on this album are done country style
half the songs on this album are done country style I only like the rock & roll and r&b ones.
