Carl Perkins Complete Sun Singles
We did two of Carl's tunes. As a musician, my "oldies" rock band was asked to submit a few tunes for an up coming CD, to be produced for the Iowa Rock n Roll Music Association. . . . . "Blue Suede Shoes" and "Honey Don't". Carl was one of the true rockabilly pioneers and a legend of early rock music. I thouroughly enjoyed this CD.


once you get past the first couple of songs
The first two are straight "country" or "hillbilly" including fiddle, which I personally find annoying to listen to. the rest is history. After that, we hear the Carl Perkins "sound' he made so famous. This Cd is a compilation of his first 9 singles (A sides and B sides) from Sun Records. If this CD doesn't get your feet movin', nothing will. .


great rock roll star
know one can ever replace them know matter how hard they try. I grew up on rock an roll music late 50's 60's an70's plus Elvis's music they are all great. Carl perkins will all way's be remember for the fine music he played. my whole familey young an old thinks the same way I do.


Re-awakening
IT has been a while since I had sat down to listen to a Rockabilly artist. . . I grew up listening to the Sun label artists and loved them all. I heard a clip of a song from this album while watching a biography show on Sam Phillips. I then recalled this song "Turn Around" and just how much I liked it. I had to find the album and your store came to mind. If anyone had such a great album it had to be you!. . . . I love this album and I thank you people from the bottom of my heart for me being able to find it with your huge selection. . . . . . It was truly a Re-awakening to find this classic country great!! Carl Perkins' music will live forever.


New view of Perkins' early years with Sun
"

Many of his incendiary rockabilly numbers are here ("Gone, Gone, Gone", "Blue Suede Shoes", "Honey Don't", "Boppin' the Blues", "All Mama's Children", "Matchbox", "Glad All Over"), but they're preface with Perkins' early country sides. By collecting the A and B sides of Perkins' nine Sun singles, this release provides a slightly different view of his early years than other single-disc collections, such as "Original Sun Greatest Hits. The whining fiddle and mournful vocals of "Turn Around" (the B-side of his debut, "Movie Mag") and "Let the Jukebox Keep on Playing" (his second A-side) suggest an early affinity for Hank Williams.

Noticeably missing (because they weren't singles, assumedly) are "Everybody's Trying to be My Baby" and "Put Your Cat Clothes On. " In their place are the rockabilly-meets-talking-blues A-side "That's Right" (co-written with Johnny Cash) and its ballad flip, "Forever Yours," along with Perkins' ode to his home state, "Tennessee. "

Newly penned liner notes and period photos and ephemera (posters, ads and such) complete a very sweet introduction to Perkins' seminal sides.
