Tiptonville TN, United States
A highly regarded and influential American pioneer of rockabilly music, a mix of rhythm and blues and country music, recorded most notably at Sun Records in Memphis, beginning in 1954. An outstanding performer, his touch on rock and roll music is still heard to this day, especially through his fine compositions and guitar playing.
According to country musician Charlie Daniels, “Carl Perkins’ songs personified the Rockabilly Era, and Carl Perkins’ sound personifies the Rockabilly Sound more so than anybody involved in it, because he never changed.” [1] Perkins’s songs have been recorded by artists as influential as Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and Johnny Cash, which further cemented his place in the history of popular music.
