"...LK: I would say Carl Perkins, because he was the King of rockabilly if you ask me. “Gone Gone Gone.” [Singing], “That must be your girl, man, don’t look like that.”..."

"...The cheese quotient rises higher with the likes of Tony Orlando, Anne Murray, and Barbara Mandrell. The special from 1977 features a spectacular tribute to the then recently deceased King of Rock & Roll, with a Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Roy Orbison performance worthy of repeated viewing..."

"...Because the two set lists are nearly identical, with almost all of the first takes represented on the existing At Folsom Prison CD, the second set is a curiosity. Carl Perkins' opening songs are more interesting, though they're laughably outmatched by four wonderful tracks from the Statler Brothers..."

Music Review December 12, 2008

"...Though traces of his powerful and assured croon are present in Teen Kings ballads "A True Love Goodbye" and "An Empty Cup and a Broken Date" and even the floor-shaking rock boogies of his Sun Recordings such as "Ooby Dooby," explorations with his groundbreaking range are evident in acoustic demos "I Give Up" and "Love Storm" and finally flourish with 1959's "Pretty One." Disc two is dominated by Orbison's exceptional output with producer Fred Foster in the early 1960s, hits such as "Only the Lonely," "In Dreams," and "Crying" balanced with the fuzzed bass bounce of "Lana" and seaside rhythm of "Leah." Though the third disc offers few revelations from his sparse 1970s output following the tragic loss of his wife and two sons, the unreleased demo of "Precious" is debilitatingly wrought, and the live 1972 recording of "Land of 1,000 Dances" bursts with horn-blaring energy. The final CD opens on Orbison's 1985 reunion with Class of '55 alumni Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Johnny Cash with the subtle "Coming Home" and rocking "Waymore's Blues," as well as the Traveling Wilburys' "Not Alone Any More" and Bono collaboration "She's a Mystery to Me." This Soul is worthy of Orbison's foundational stamp on rock & roll...."

Description: Alan Govenar's blues tome doesn't need to correct blues mythos. Blues is myth and vice versa.
"..."Blind Lemon is much lesser known, although 'Matchbox Blues' was covered by Carl Perkins and the Beatles. To a large extent, Blind Lemon's music remains unknown because the fidelity of the original recordings are so poor that you only get a glimpse of who he was..."

Description: Derek's still-standing Domino and his new vocal counterpart
"..."After 'It's Too Late,' Johnny and Carl Perkins came up, and we did 'Matchbox' and 'Blue Suede Shoes.' After that was over, they let all the country folk out, and there was people lined two deep, twice around the block, at the Ryman Auditorium. They let all the rockers in, and [the Dominos] rocked that joint for about two hours."..."

Description: In 1969, Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash sat down with their friends to make some music. The results are joyful, legendary, and unreleased.
"...I'm not sure who plays in the band. I'm virtually certain it's Carl Perkins on guitar, both because of the sound and because Cash calls out his name any number of times..."

Description: Johnny Cash wanted to play a prison, and Columbia Records said no. Producer Bob Johnston said, 'Go ahead and pack.'
"...By the early 1950s, he not only ran the whole show but usually, working with Frank Jones, produced all the major stars. Working with Jones or alone, he recorded Cash, Marty Robbins, Flatt & Scruggs, Jimmy Dean, Carl Perkins, and the Statler Brothers, all of whom Bob Johnston later worked with, as well as Ray Price, Lefty Frizzell, Rosemary Clooney, Little Jimmy Dickens, and Johnny Horton..."

"...Plenty of Elvis coverage, snaps of Hollywood stars like Natalie Wood and Debra Paget, a quiz asking "Are Your Parents Delinquent?" and a feature on the Million Dollar Quartet. How honed in was 16 on its audience in its first issue? Those iconic photos of Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Elvis Presley, and Johnny Cash at a piano in Sun Studios were 16's exclusively...."

Music Review December 15, 2006
by Austin Powell
"...The 13 previously unreleased songs develop a sense of intimacy and continuity for the entire Johnny Cash show. Former Sun labelmate Carl Perkins makes the jailhouse rock with opener "Blue Suede Shoes" and later "Restless," while adding electric flair to Cash's closing numbers, including the one he composed, "Daddy Sang Bass." The Statler Brothers share "Flowers on the Wall" and the Carter Family digs deep with "Wildwood Flower." What's truly remarkable is the way Cash blurs the line between audience and performer in this otherwise hostile environment..."

"...What Grant lacks in writing ability he makes up for in enthusiasm and an archivist's attention to detail. Whether recounting the serendipitous creation of the famous Johnny Cash "boom-chicka-boom sound," the first fateful meeting of Johnny and June Carter, or fascinating incidents in the lives of music legends (like Elvis Presley building a career on the severely injured back of Carl Perkins), Grant approaches his book like a born raconteur telling tales over a bottle of whiskey...."

"...The packaging, from the back alley knife fight on the front to the 45-shaped CDs and yearbook-style liner notes, is pure kitsch, but the music is damn hollerin'. Texas legend Ronnie Dawson ("Rockin' Bones"), Johnny Cash ("Get Rhythm"), Carl Perkins ("Blue Suede Shoes"), Jerry Lee Lewis ("Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On"), and Elvis ("One Night of Sin") get the familiar names outta the way, leaving room for the bizarre..."

"...Johnny Cash was at his zenith in 1971, still on his "A Boy Named Sue" roll and brimming with midlife vigor. Man in Black: Live in Denmark 1971 DVD features him in full showman mode to a clueless Danish audience while the Tennessee Three, Carl Perkins, June Carter, Mother Maybelle Carter, the Statler Brothers, and Anita and Helen Carter excel in an hourlong performance with him, especially in the finale "Children Go Where I Send Thee." That's good, because excellence is all you get here: no extras, photo gallery, off-stage chatter, or interview..."
