Carl Perkins - Cane Creek Glory Church '1977

Tracks list

While some ill-informed revisionist writers of rock history would like to
dismiss Carl Perkins as a rockabilly artist who became a one-hit wonder at the
dawn of rock & rolls early years, a deeper look at his music and career reveals
much more. A quick look at his songwriting portfolio shows that he composed
Daddy Sang Bass for Johnny Cash, I Was So Wrong for Patsy Cline, and Let Me Tell
You About Love for the Judds, big hits and classics all. His influence as the
quintessential rockabilly artist has played a big part in the development of
every generation of rockers to come down the pike since, from the Beatles George
Harrison to the Stray Cats Brian Setzer to a myriad of others in the country
field as well. His guitar style is the other twin peak — along with that
of Elvis lead man Scotty Moore — of rockabillys instrumental center, so
pervasive that modern-day players automatically gravitate toward it when called
upon to deliver the style, not even realizing that theyre playing Perkins licks,
sometimes note for note. As a singer, his interpretation of country ballads is
every bit as fine as his better-known rockers. And within the framework of the
best of his music is a strong sense of family and roots, all of which trace
straight back to his humble beginnings.
