Movie Reviews of Carl Perkins - Rock N Roll Legend
Movie Review: Long live the King of Rockabilly!
Summary: 5 Stars
Carl Perkins is the man! I lived for several years in Perkins' hometown of Jackson, TN. As I got to know more about Mr. Perkins I realized a depth of musical material that most people are not aware of. Other than his signature song, "Blue Suede Shoes," he is often overlooked when it comes to his impact on music. Since moving from Jackson, I have found that the people that know of Mr. Perkins are fanatical about him. With that said, this DVD is a good introduction to the man. The only draw back is that it is too short! Get this DVD to meet the man, then get the "Carl Perkins and Friends" DVD to hear his music.
Summary of Carl Perkins - Rock N Roll Legend
Carl Perkins was the man behind a number of the great rock classics, including Blue Suede Shoes. Along with Elvis Presley, he was one of the soloists who founded rock 'n' roll in the mid fifties at the legendary Sun Studios in Memphis. From his spot at the original Sun Studios location, Carl Perkins talks about the early get togethers with his colleagues Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison and others, about the way he worked with these legends of rock 'n' roll and about their fabulous parternships later on. Among Perkins' fans were the Beatles. He talks about the invitation they made him and how it turned out that they had all his records and copied all his sonorities. Perkins wrote songs like Matchbox, Honey Don't and Everybody's Tryin' To Be My Baby, of which the Beatles made their own versions. Perkins reveals how Blue Suede Shoes was written and how Elvis could have released a version before Perkins' own, but refrained for friendship's sake. Welcome to the story of one of the great American founders of rock, captured in an amazing portrait on the spot where it all happened - Sun Studios, Memphis.Documentary DVD Video
