Carl Perkins Artist Snapshot:

Rockabilly pioneer Carl Perkins emerged in the 1950s around the same time as Elvis Presley, with a similar blend of country and R&B. He was denied Elvis-level fame due to poor timing, bad breaks, and a relative lack of the sex appeal that aided Presley's career. Nevertheless, Perkins was one of rock & roll's first great auteurs, and his early work was a crucial element of the rockabilly template. His songs were covered by everyone from the Beatles to the King himself, and when he died in 1998 he was eulogized as a giant of rock & roll.

Title Note

Personnel includes: Carl Perkins (vocals, guitar).

Producers: John Denny, J. William Denny.

Compilation producers: Richard Weize, Martin Hawkins.

Recorded at Columbia Studio and Music City Recorders, Nashville, Tennesee between August 24, 1966 and April 18, 1968. Includes liner notes by Colin Escott.

The (mostly) previously unreleased and long out of print songs here were recorded in 1967, during the lowest commercial and personal ebb of Perkins' career. They also represent his first serious foray into straight radio-ready country music, and while none of them is as exciting as his groundbreaking rockabilly classics, or even the hit country songs he wrote for other artists, there's much to admire here. High points include a touching reading of the Bobby Bare hit "Detroit City," the very funny ode to an advice columnist of "Dear Abby" (a Perkins original), and the attractively riffy "It's You."
