You gotta feel sorry for Carl Perkins. First, he is a one-hit wonder primarily because, as this song was climbing the charts, he got into a car accident that seriously jeopardized his life. Second, his only hit, a true rock(-a-billy) classic with great guitar, is better known as being a signature Elvis song. What chance does he have? The man wrote a song that was the eptiome of his times that he rendered himself obsolete. Elvis has so many songs to choose from… you play anything but lay off his “Blue Suede Shoes”, alright?
