IT'S ONLY ROCK & ROLL: Well, in getting caught up finally I was so flustered that I forgot this one theme post last week so doing a double shot this week. I got the cassette a while back from Goodwill then added the rest from a Twilight Zone post in comments. Was very interesting to hear as he describes his music as 'country soul'. Did you know it was Carl who did 'Blue Suede Shoes' and not Elvis below from our double shot today? Per Discogs: Real Name: Carl Lee Perkins
Profile: Carl Perkins (born April 9, 1932, Tiptonville, Tennessee, USA - died January 19, 1998, Jackson, Tennessee, USA) was an American rockabilly musician and songwriter, nicknamed "the King of Rockabilly".
