Title: Perkins Was The Real King Of Rockabilly
Product review: I just finished listening to Carl Perkinss "Original Sun's Greatest Hits", and it is a marvelous cd. Perkins was playing that twangy, bouncy rockabilly as early as 1947...Perkins' "Matchbox," "Gone, Gone, Gone," and many of his ballads were superbly written and played. Of course, "Blue Suede Shoes" is the quintessential rockabilly song. Perkins is known as a guitar innovator, but he should be recognized also as a great rockabilly singer with a powerful, resonating voice. He was hip long before Presley and he was a triple threat---composer, musician, singer...Consequently, he was not promoted to the same degree as was Presley...Perkins deserves greater recogntion...Perkins actually knew what key he was playing and singing in.
