This entire video is wonderful! "Carl Perkins and Friends - Blue Suede Shoes: A Rockabilly Session." It's out of print... but easily available if you know where to look!
He is one of those people who I wish I had got to spend time with -a super nice guy and would loved to have had as a fishing partner,I have all his sun records but won't play them anymore,so many thanks to those who post them here on utube
If you guys really knew any thing about playing guitar you wouldn't even mention those guys names with Chet or Les Those players are in a class far far above them
In the set up to this piece, Perkins explains how not knowing about Les Paul's use of overdubbing in first hearing this song, he assumed that the only way to play it was to triple pick it.He goes on to present this as his imitation of Les Paul.. This remains a phenominal example of Perkins' prowess on guitar,easily placing him on the same level as Scotty Moore,Cliff Gallup,Paul Burleson,Chet Atkins and quite possibly,Les himself ..............
I would say that most folks had no idea how truly talented Carl was as a guitarist. But those of us from his hometown of Jackson, TN sure knew! I mean, how good do you have to be to school George Harrison? RIP Carl. We lost a giant when we lost you...
Rest in peace George, Carl, and now Les....all gone. When Kieth Richards, and Bob Dylan leave us....I'm going with them, and leave this world, and this era's shit music.
Is this George Harrison?

Carl was one of Harrison's and The Beatles heroes.
This was Carl's gig, he coaxed Harrison into coming. George had trepidation about performing before a live audience after not doing so for so long.

I think it is awesome that someone as HUGE as George Harrison would pay such a well deserved tribute to one of his idols - Mr. Carl Perkins.
The influence really shows in many of Georges recordings.
