AN ORIGINAL SUN ROCK-A-BILLY 78 FROM THE GREAT CARL PERKINS
"The Rockin Guitar Man "
" GLAD ALL OVER "
b/w " LEND ME YOUR COMB "
REALLY GREAT STUFF!!
Born in Tiptonville, Tennessee, he was taught to play the guitar by a neighbor with whom he picked cotton. He began playing at the age of seven on a guitar made from a cigar box, a broomstick, and baling wire. Perkins was heavily influenced by country music and rhythm and blues and was one of the first musicians to play lead guitar and sing simultaneously.
His parents were sharecroppers during the Depression, but poverty didn't prevent him from listening to the Grand Ole Opry on the radio, and he also listened to the blues being sung by a black sharecropper named John Westbrook across the field from where he worked. After World War II the Perkins family relocated to Bemis, Tennessee, where he and his brothers picked cotton. In 1953 Perkins, brothers Jay (rhythm guitar) and Clayton (upright bass), and drummer W.S. "Fluke" Holland formed a band that worked up a repertoire of hillbilly songs performing at local honky tonks.
Perkins decided in 1954 to pursue a musical career, and that October the Perkins brothers travelled to Memphis to audition for Sam Phillips at Sun Records. In February 1955 Phillips issued two songs from that first Perkins session, on his new Flip label, to minimal response. That November, after Phillips sold Presley's Sun contract to RCA Records, Phillips decided to push the next Perkins single, an original called "Blue Suede Shoes". "Blue Suede Shoes" entered the US Billboard chart on 3 March 1956 (the same day Presley's first single entered the chart). Initiallly inspired by a remark Perkins overheard at a teen dance, his version of the song quickly became a huge hit and was also the first country record to appear on both the R&B chart and the pop chart.
Perkins continued to record for Sun until mid-1958, but the label's newcomers, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis, occupied most of Phillips' attention. While still at Sun, Perkins recorded "Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby" and the classic "Matchbox", both of which were also covered by the Beatles PLUS these two classics "Glad all over" and "Lend me your comb"
