Carl Perkins Honey Don’t Lyrics
Well how can you say you will when you won't
Say you do, baby, when you don't?
Let me know, honey, how you feel
Tell the truth, now, is love real?
But oh well, honey don't, well, honey don't
Honey don't, honey don't, honey don't
I say you will when you won't, oh honey, don't
Well, I love you, baby, and you ought to know
I like the way you wear your clothes
If it's in a batch you were so doggone sweet
You got that sand all over your feet
Well, sometimes I love you on a Saturday night
Sunday morning, you don't look right
You've been out painting the town
Uh baby, been stepping around

I had the immense pleasure of playing this song (and many others) with Carl as drummer during his UK tour in 1980. What a blast !
I am a drummer and THAT IS COOOOOOOL!
@Tomriley great stories I’m sure lots of old musicians with historic stories ! I got to play with Muddy Waters in the 80’s
👍🆒. 2022🎇🥳
Wow. How cool is that? What was he like? Was he awesome? I am sure that must have gone down as one heck of a Life Experience! Would love to hear some stories.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
He doesn't get enough credit. He was one of the originals.
Right AND played lead guitar with ACTUAL strings on it.

Are you poorly educated?
@@grassshadow1
Don't be poorly educated your entire life.
@@grassshadow1
What are you implying?
Because it only embarrasses you
@@bradhuskers I am well educated, and I am implying that many early rock stars played rhythm or not all. And hired a musician to play hot licks while they sang . Many used the guitar as a prop and didn't even have strings on it. Carl Perkins did it all while he performed.
I grew up near Jackson TN, and it was my honor and privilege to know Carl Perkins. I have a disabled sister, and every single year Carl did something for charity for his entire life. I didn't realize how big of a deal he was in culture until after he passed and George Harrison and Bob Dylan attended his funeral. To me he was just a guy who raised money for children's charities year in and year out.
My paternal grandfather was from Jackson, TN.
👍
VERY GOOD MAN.
CHARISMATIC SINGER
Carl once held a FREE concert over in England with George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Dave Edmunds, Roseanne Cash and others.
Half of it is on CZcams 😃
He was just a guy, and The Beatles, were just four guys, but oh, those beautiful sounds!
That is some mighty fancy footwork for a man singing and playing the guitar:)
Но Элвис его превзошёл
He was as good as the best ever. Astoundingly brilliant.
Yeah, he looks great, and you can see how Elvis ... shall we say, was influenced by him? But Elvis was good to Carl, always praised him and we know how George Harrison revered him.
I appreciate the fact the Beatles kept their cover so close to the original version
Although he never got to the heights Elvis did he is immortalised as the writer of the seminal rock n roll track Blue Suede Shoes a song mostly associated with Elvis's blustering version. However Carl had the bigger hit with his own more rockabily version. A unique talant.
Carl Perkins..... truly ONE of the pioneers of
ROCKNROLL 🎸
This music called rockabilly
@@achimschmidt3368 no shit!
T4TexasTom. Absolutely agree a Pioneer! 3 others I can think of are Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry and Roy Clark. You may say Roy Clark? Go check out 12th Street Rag Time. The first shredder.

ARE YOU POORLY EDUCATED?
@@davidkastin4240
Judging from your statement, you are poorly educated
This song belongs to Carl , it was never written on paper he was adding words as he was tuning his guitar. A waitress the night before said " Honey Don't" when he wanted to throw a plate with cake on it at another customer. The song came together and recorded at sun records in Memphis in may of 1956 It was the B side to blue suede shoes which was going to be a single
Recorded in December 1955, released in less than a month.
Funny that Blue Suede Shoes also originated from an actual overheard comment.
I saw him at an outdoor oldies show at Penn’s Landing in Philadelphia back in the 1990’s. After his set he exited the stage to a crowd of admirers. He shook my hand and signed autographs for many others. He was a gracious and friendly man who never lost touch with the common people.
What’s really insane is that it’s live from 1 mic, no monitors, and the band is behind him and he had no mic. You can see the acoustic guitar player listening. Notice that Carl is the only one with an amplifier. And that early Les paul he’s playing. Back then this is how it was even at large shows. So you had to be really good.
What you mentioned here makes perfect sense and is something that should be studied by everyone who plays an instrument or sings. At that time it was clearly mandatory for all musicians to have basic notions of electroacoustics, something that today might not even occur to those starting out in this type of activity.
Let no one doubt that this type of knowledge is one of the biggest steps anyone can take from a technical and musical point of view.
Capturing is one of the most important things to consider and it often happens that the musician is unable to express himself in the right way because it is not something that is well studied. It is not just the music but the result of music and sound that will determine the success of a musical work.
Maybe that's why we still listen to music from that time in mono today and we can clearly see the perfection of the capture that is based on the study of microphones and their positioning.
If we look closely, in order to achieve a credible result like this nowadays, it would be almost mandatory to use 12 independent audio channels.
These guys did it with just a microphone and an audio track. In my opinion as a sound technician, this is what was valuable. And still is, today... is if we want to use technique and personal taste for the sound achieved.
Best sound regards.

I noticed you can only hear Carl and his LesPaul, the drums... maybe a few notes on the bass, but that guy on the acoustic guitar was just strumming in the wind
they musta had a boom mic just over Carl's head, just off camera
also sounds like Carl had that amp cranked up to 11 and the LP was driving it into mild distortion
just awesome for the 50s
@@kenwittlief255 Yep. Wonderful, mild tube distortion. I love the raw sound.
It's hard to imagine how wild this performance must have seemed in 1956!
One of the first true rock n rollers.
I'm a 65 year old who listens mostly to punk. This guy slams!
Punk
The King Of Rockabilly!
I heard more about Carl from the Cramps than anywhere.
This is punker than punk!
He was the first true punk rocker.
This cat ROCKS !
The complete package A true Icon!
The most underrated musician of the 50's
WHO does rate musicians. Who underrates him? He’s top notch beside Elvis and Chuck Berry
He was on top of the heap until the car accident. Then Elvis passed him up.
@@Mr.56Goldtop I always wonder if Parker had anything nefarious to do with that.
@@ata5855 I don't know, I wasn't around then. Not quite anyway. But the "Colonel" was a shyster and a con man, so that could be possible. Although Carl was out of action for quite awhile because of his severe injuries.

Wonderful! Never seen this before! Just shows how great and how simple original Rockabilly music is.
Magic stuff right there.

Times when they play Music, not noise 🎉🎉❤😊
Shocking the way he moves! I had no idea he could dance like that! I have gained even more respect for the legendary Carl Perkins.
I know. I had no idea he was such a great communicator and showman. Wow. 😮
I have also wondered if Elvis in his stage craft was influenced by how carl moved on stage
oh yes, the mephis elvis. .. lolololololo
early Beatles George Harrison emulated Carl's moves. George played your true love at Carl's funeral
I like this version best. Man that cat can move!
I agree with others here - Carl Doesn't get enough credit...
He was Out There doing it, trying to wake people up to the new world of music. What a Pioneer....
Agree he deserved more credit ..this guy was awesome
Saw Carl Perkins and Sir Paul McCartney on a late night TV talk/entertainment show, can’t remember which one. They played a song together, after which Mr. Carl Perkins said something like, “Wow, your a GOOD guitar player!! Sir Paul McCartney seemed quite taken aback. Mr. Carl Perkins was one of Sir Paul’s HEROES. music
GEORGE HARRISON LOVED CARL.....THAT'LL DO FOR ME.
@@jozefhatert6231 EXCUSE ME, but Carl Perkins won: A Grammy. Was inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame, the Memphis Hall of fame, performed with the best musicians, was widely revered....nobody under appreciated him. Maybe some younger millennials are just discovering him, but that hardly means Perkins was underrated.
@@stormytempest6521 That's just the infamous CZcams "so underrated" comment.
Mr. Perkins turned in a terrific performance on one of his most famous songs. Rest in peace, Carl.
Man, I idolized him as a kid. Got to meet him briefly too. I used to laugh that I had this song on 78, 45, LP, 8-track, cassette, CD, the computer and my mind!
I’d seen Johnny Cash, shook Billy Lee Riley’s hand, had Hasil Adkins as days-long company several times at my homestead and his in Madison, WV, USA. There’s one unique, common thread shared by all of the aforementioned songcrafters. They were the kindest, most cordial cats ever. It used to tear me to pieces, imagining a world minus their graces but of course they were lost in physycality but when my ears catch the slightest twinge of “Matchbox”, my hackles rise and I’m as good as the dancing blade in my hand. Carl Perkins is BOSS OKp
My Sun Label Blue Suede/ Honey Don't is a prize possession
The real King of Rock n Roll.
no
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
I was thinking the same thing!
I also wonder if Elvis was influenced to how carl moved on stage
Don't forget Chuck Berry
More than just being a brilliant rockabilly pioneer, he was a super nice guy. Saw him in the mid 80's at the long-closed Lone Star Cafe in NYC. Probably the most charged up show/audience I've ever seen. It was incredible. Then once at another show at the Lone Star Roadhouse in NYC, I just started talking to him during the intermission while he was just hanging out by himself. What a genuinely kind gentleman - a real southerner brought up with humility, manners, and honesty. It really left a lasting mark on me.
That's a lovely story. Meeting and talking to the guy who wrote probably the best known rock n roll song of all time. Magic. 👍
@@davidgibbs7232 That's really what was so amazing about the whole thing. There was a balcony at that club, and during intermission, my friend and I went up there just to check it out. There was no one up there ... except Carl Perkins! And he was just drinking a big glass of water. The 3 of us talked for maybe 10 minutes. And then we each took a picture with him. I still have mine - it's a regular 4x6, but my friend had his blown up to a 16 x 20 and has it hanging in his living room! I remember thinking like you... I'm talking to this totally mild, normal, nice guy - the same guy who wrote BSS AND who was personal friends with Elvis, Cash, etc.... the more I think about it, the cooler it is!
@@SaveMagnusHouse definitely cool. 😊
Great document never seen before. This is probably from the long-researched but never found "Ozark Jubilee" broadcast on March 17, 1956. He also sang Blue Suede Shoes on this same TV show, if you have it, please do not hesitate to share. Thanks a lot, this is a GREAT present to all rock 'n' roll fans.
It is indeed from the Ozark Jubilee. Here is a link to the entire episode, posted on December 13: czcams.com/video/OS0VsV2UVyA/video.html
Unfortunately, Carl's performance of Blue Suede Shoes is not part of the footage, although it's clear that it was performed as part of the broadcast, as you can hear Red Foley say "we're going to repeat the fun we had a little earlier with Carl Perkins." In the comments section the channel admin says that the Blue Suede Shoes performance was not provided to them, and they can't say whether or not the footage exists anywhere else. Hopefully someday it will emerge. But for the time being we have this gem of a song for everyone to see! Rock on Carl! Kudos to Missouri State University and UCLA for digitizing the Ozark Jubilee kinescopes and making it available on CZcams.
Wow, March '56, then Carl Perkins is only 23 years old here. He looked much older than 23! Terrific performance by him!
@@bradleyrobinson7552 Carl's hairline was going FAST - and that craggy face - 20 yrs later w/ his hairpiece and 20 lbs more he actually looked younger.
czcams.com/video/OS0VsV2UVyA/video.html without his lame logos all over it.
Carl was really giving it his all here. The moves, the singing, and that guitar... WOW, he was really giving that little combo amp a workout.
Great footwork in full swing here ... I recently saw him with Cash and Clapton .. and there it was . only a little very cool hint though :)
Gettin' some early overdrive for sure
@@reptalien_musicGood point ... do you mean the amp or the amp .. it certainly was the time for Overdrive and Delay . keepin' that bass on the roof rollin' 😵
yes, he was really carrying the whole group...the drummer looked lost there for a moment and the others seem kind of out of it.....
@@alpha-omega2362 That "drummer" would join Johnny Cash's band making it the Tennesse 3 in 1960. Carl would also join the band in 1966 as a opening act along with the Statlers and Carters
This song came out 3 years before I was born. I think Carl Perkins one of the best musicians of all time! Yes you are CARL!
The most underrated & talented rock roll star of the fifties
Nobody underrated him. That's ridiculous. Look up his history. Read about his Grammy. All of the rock and roll inductions. How many artists revered him. HIS RECORD BLUE SUEDE SHOES WAS A MASSIVE HIT AS FAR BACK AS THE 1950S.
Here we go. That "underrated" comment on CZcams about a widely successful, influential, enormously popular entertainer. Yes, in the 1950s, too.
Hmmmm great song yes Carl Perkins contributions to rock a billy and rock and roll are criminally under-appreciated. And that has to be one of the earliest appearances of the 1st gen Les Paul guitars on tv very cool.
The king of rockabilly! Some great moves, too!
Carl Perkins is the man. Killer guitar. Fab moves. Great voice. Dynamite performer. Ringo is a big fan. The Beatles covered Carl Perkins and Buddy Holly. Terrific beat. Swing on that old dance floor on this one. Spin that girl now. RIP Carl Perkins. A true immortal rocker.
George was the biggest Carl Perkins fan in The Beatles
He was also a VERY handsome man. He had every gift. He was so good to the Beatles, far from resenting their worldwide fame, he reached out to George and John. A wonderful brilliant human being.
Voice of Rockabilly. HEY! 🎸
Carl is really putting out on this. Carl, with Jay,Clayton, & Fluke.
Music was changing drastically in 1956 and rock and roll was here to stay.
The King Of Rockabilly!
It's a pity Perkins tried desperately to try in the early blue suede shoes rockabilly theme for the next few years and move with the times.
Shoes was the last rockabilly hit released as soon as rock and roll came along.
Hence why Perkins despite all similar themed and sounding type song's failed to reach any higher than scraping the top 100 with his following half a dozen releases.
That's what drove him to being a chronic alcoholic for the following 5 or 6 year's, playing ever smaller gigs.
Absolutely The Greatest of All The Rockers !!!!!!!!!!!
One word...MAGNIFICENT.
What a great early rock and roller. He had a great voice played great guitar and wrote some classic rock and roll songs. I loved watching him when he played guitar on the Johnny Cash Show especially when he had a chance to sing one of his songs. A highlight from that show was seeing him and Johnny play with Derek and the Dominoes.
I love how Carl is plugged into his 1980s portable cassette player. Man was ahead of his time
Crazy man, crazy! A great rock n'roll singer, great guitar player, thank's
czcams.com/video/OS0VsV2UVyA/video.html
From a teenager in the '50's - he was one of our top 5 favs. Elvis , Chuck, Fats , Little Richard, Buddy.....all those guys. The guys liked the boogie songs , the girls liked the slower love ballads etc.
Great days - free and easy.....and unlimited energy
ROCK ON..........

And my all time fav...Eddie Cochran.

The sound that entranced the Beatles. Play it Carl!
And those look like [blue?] suede shoes too!
Ringo and George sang the Perkins covers for the Beatles.
The royalty cheques must be substantial. And John covered Blue Suede Shoes. Carl said Lennon's version was correct, Elvis rushed the timing. Not my words but his.
Yes, the energy and excitement of those early rock-n-roll days really fueled the Beatles desire to recreate that magic over in England, and Carl Perkins was definitely a pioneer in the whole "Rock-a-billy" scene.

@@seltaeb9691 Ringo! You can't tell? It's one of the few Beatles songs he sang lead on. A great time keeper and an even better singer IMO.
I had the pleasure of meeting Mr Perkins and had a wonderful conversation with him about his music, etc and without any prodding from me, he shared stories of some of his famous friends. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr...I was listening so intensely because here's this legend talking about his friends who are legendary to me.
I knew Carl his two sons, and daughter, as we all attended the same school in Jackson, TN, Carl would stop by the Bandstand music store and regale us with stories of Th e Fabs. Carl was a decent man!
Carl Perkins was one of the greatest showman ever...great music too..

Carl is always great ...Jay Perkins on rhythm guitar died at 28 years of age , Clayton Perkins seen on bass here died at 38 years of age and Carl lived to be 65 years of age. Drummer Fluke Holland lived to the ripe old age of 85.
I hadn't known Carl Perkins performed with family.
@@carlcushmanhybels8159 Yes, with his brothers, till they got into that horrible car accident while going from gig to gig..Jay and Carl were severely injured. Later Carl Perkins in the 1980s had his sons in the band.
Clayton actually committed suicide....and Jay never recovered from the injuries he suffered....such a tragedy for Carl to lose his two brothers at such tender ages!

How can you not take Carl as a pioneer?
You can just see the faces of teenagers in Liverpool listening to this music for the first time, brought over by their elder brothers and uncles from America on the Cunard ships. We all know how that played out. Thanks for posting.
One of the many innovators of R&R. Very original sound!
Gotta Love Carl ! His Goldtop is pretty slick too !
This is the best Rock-a-Billy song ever written! Brian Setzer’s 1974 Rock This Town comes in second. You cannot listen to a Rock-a-Billy song and not smile.
One of the great, if not the greatest, rockabilly artist!
I LOVE this video and the song. Carl was the master of rock-a-Billy. And he has some great dance moves!
"That sand all over yer feet"..... LOVIN' It

Man…that last, huge E chord - just gnarly as all hell! Now we can hear where many future guitar heroes copped many a guitar lick! Love the Anacin sponsor!

This is about as real as rockabilly gets. One of the true pioneers of the rock n roll style.
Little wonder the Beatles covered this, great performance by Carl Perkins.
czcams.com/video/U2elDGhmCMY/video.html
@@Dive-Bar-Casanova George had vastly improved on those licks by the time they put it down on record a year later!
In this time, there was an avalanche of genuine talents. The name of the song should be " Honey, Don´t lose this song ! " Of course in Perkins´voice. In Elvis´s life there were two factors that made other brilliant people go to a second place : a natural nice face and a powerful, melodical voice... and the right person to implement his never-dying career - Colonel Parker. The right singer, the great businessman, together. Thanks for the video, Perkins is (was, the saddest part) wonderful anywhere.
An Historic Rock & Roll video!!!
A classic Rock Band...Acoustic Guitar, Acoustic Bass, Drums and Electric Guitar!!! A pure sound!!!

Od iluś lat przeglądam piosenki z lat 50 i ta jest jedną też której nie znałem😊
After this video, you now know why Carl Perkins was an important inspiration to The Beatles.
I love that Carl Perkins "Hop"!
Love this, always have. Carl's crunchy ahead-of-its-time sound, a Gibson '52 Les Paul straight into a Gibson GA-40 Les Paul amp sounds so damn good. No pedals, no effects, no nuttin' except talent and magic - rock and roll guitar in its creative years.
Are those P90 pickups? Whatever they are, it's a greatcsound.
@@kenelkins1841 Yes, those are indeed Gibson P-90s in Carl's1952 Les Paul. They do sound great, don't they? That was the standard pickup for all GIbsdon electrics from 1946 until 1957 when the dual-coil Humbucker was invented and installed on all top-of-the-line Gibson electrics. Only the cheaper electrics still had P-90s.
The GA-40, 15 watt, all-tube, hand-wired amp has a lot to do with Carl's sound. This amp is unusual for its time (or any time) because it incorporates a pentode rather than a triode pre-amp tube giving it a fatter, more dynamic sound. I think that Gibson amps are at least as good as Fenders, often better, and cost so much less today.
For me, the P-90, along with the DeArmond Dynosonic and the 1950-54 Telecaster pickups sound best. They're all single-coil and, accordingly, do produce some 60 cycle hum, but that, too, is part of their charm.
Peace and health in these trying times.
@@Glicksman1 wonderful information. Thank you for taking the time to share. Since you seem to be more than casually involved in this stuff, may I pick your brain?
Do you know of any amp on the market that approximates the GA-40 15 watt, in that it breaks up at lower volumes? For decades I played a solid state amp (a Pearce...if you ever heard of them). I was able to go from a clean sound to a nice bit of break up just by bouncing between 7 an 10 on my guitar. After not playing for a while I got Fender tube amps (Princeton Reverb and Delux Reverb). They sound great clean, and the foundation of my tone is clean. But sometimes I'm looking for a little dirt. I can't seem to find the right pedal. I was used to getting all my sounds straight from the guitar and amp...no pedals. The Fender tube amps really have to be cranked to start to break up. I play in a small rehearsal space, so I'm looking for a little break-up at lower volumes. Always in pursuit of the elusive perfect tone.
All the best to you and yours. May we all experience peace on earth this new year.
@@kenelkins1841 Yes, you may pick whatever may be left of my brain.
There are many low-wattage amps that ought to suit your needs. For instance, Vox AC-4, Fender Champ, and Gibson GA-5T "Skylark". Any of these will play beautifully but not too loudly and break up without blowing the roof off.
My fave is the Gibson GA-5T. It's around 5 watts and is all-tube, single-ended with one power tube, a nice organic-sounding tremolo with an 8" speaker. From 1962 on they were re-designed with a slightly more complicated circuit but still have a great sound. Some post-1962-63 GA-5s use two 6AQ7 power tubes and two pre-amp tubes, have a 10" speaker, and are 10 watts.
Mine is the simpler. more basic1960 one, but the later ones sound great as well and cost a bit less than earlier-dated ones. Both the Vox AC-4 and Fender Champ are more expensive on the used market. They all have their own unique sound.
Neither the Gibson nor the Fender has tone controls, but the Vox does. I always use a Tech 21 Q-Strip for EQ, so a tone control is of no matter to me.
All of these earlier ones are single-ended amps and as such have a pure sound that nothing else has due to their short, simple circuits. They're not crystal clean-bright like a Twin, but are still clear and more toneful. These amps bring out your guitar's tone and your playing at nicely moderate volumes. They all break up wonderfully at low volume and take pedals easily.
Good luck finding the amp for you. My advice FWIW: Don't play your gear, play music.
'Til next time, mate.
@@Glicksman1 thank you again. I have to look into those amps. I am really not a gear head. Like I said, I played for decades with just a guitar and amp, which provided everything I needed. Just to downsize (as Amos Garrett once said, "The older I get, the smaller my amps get"), I got smaller tube amps. The Pearce was a solid state. So, as much as you are right to play the music not the gear, it has been such a different thing, that I have to think about it a bit. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge, much appreciated.
Just being generation Beatles,George was my window to this short credited artist.Berry deserves much but so does this man
Fantastic. Never heard Carl perform it before, I've only heard the Beatles version, which I love, and is surprisingly almost a note for note cover; no added "Beatleisms" at all. Again, fantastic.
Great ! Carl was a real rocker !!!
Amazing that Carl can dance and still play guitar. I don’t think I have aver seen anyone do this.
That’s what I thought! His dance moves whilst singing AND playing are great! What an entertainer he was! True rockabilly legend. He can really move well!
Chuck Berry moved pretty good while playing his guitar...
Chuck and Carl were two of the early kings of R&R.
Chuck Berry, Larry Collins, and, much later, Angus Young. However, Carl did it with a sort of joyful quirkiness that is very endearing. He was a great singer and guitarist, wrote some fun songs, and was a decent human being.
Je ne connaissais pas .. Super intéressant, une grande pointure, un précurseur, un fondateur .. Visage intelligent, belle voix ..
Hey Carl ......
That's some fancy
footwork cowboy . 👍
That man has talent! Wow!
Carl is so COOL!!
Superbe chanson forever ❤❤❤❤💃🎙🎸
I was amazed at the size of his tiny amp and the small drum kit too. No monitors, just plain talented back then. I started playing drums in the mid 60's and things were way different.
Brilliant man, Elvis Presley and Carl Perkins the best!
A music legend..never forgotten.RIP
Amazing...hair on the back of my neck stood up straight away.
Great song & performance
Love this old rockabilly music........an absolute classic.....regardless of whether the Beatles did it or not.
So cool!!! Thanks for sharing this great man's skills. Easy to tell he loves playing!!
He’s unbelievable
Never seen this before
What a post
One of the greats.
Fabulous
Ils avaient moins de matériel que des joueurs amateurs d'aujourd'hui, et pourtant ça sonne, quel talent Carl Perkins, grandiose pour l'époque, et un des meilleurs guitariste des 50's avec Eddie Cochran....
Those dance moves while playing the guitar live are amazing
Carl was pretty awesome. Always enjoy hearing his music. Top level performer .
Glenn Johnson First time viewing this!!Awesome!!This is the real deal.
Taught Elvis everything he knew. The Beatles knew it.
Funny as soon as I laid eyes on him , I saw the resemblance❤❤❤❤❤😊
Super mister Perkins !!!
He's got some moves!
So cool!! Can't count how many times I've told someone No, that ain't Elvis, it's Carl Perkins when they hear this song.
Carl is great.
But elvis's sun studio sessions are REVELATORY

I love carl and all the pioneers of rock n roll.
Elvis's critically acclaimed recordings are what gives him the "king" title. A lot of people who are poorly educated, don't seem to get that.
You obviously do.
Merry Christmas.
