Rock and Roll Flashback Podcast

Carl Perkins


Listen Later

Welcome to Rock & Roll Flashback!  I'm Jumpin' John McDermott, and today we focus on rockabilly singer and guitarist Carl Perkins.  Along with Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, and Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins was one of the seminal rockabilly artists on Sam Phillips’ Sun label, but a series of bad breaks, followed by personal problems, undermined his solo career.  Despite that, Perkins persevered, creating a body of work that has been both critically acclaimed and extremely influential on songwriters, guitar players, and singers alike.
