I have this song on CD but since I got a response from an old post,I'm gonna listen to this song post on u-tube again.This tune never gets old to me.LUV IT
Carl recorded the song slower, but Sam Phillips sped up the recording to make it sound a little more Rockabilly. Of course, stepping up the speed made Carl;s voice sound a little like Alvin and the Chipmunks. You cant beat that guitar tone however
You are right about Matchbox being good,but Carl did it better than the Beatles.He never got his due.And as a Jerry Lee fan I will say I liked Perkins version better than the killers.Frame that cause you won't hear me say somebody else did a song better than Jerry Lee much,but Carl was probaly the one person that could hold his own
Carl never got his due.Only Jerry Lee stuck up for him.Man when they played together it was crazy,then especially when they teamed with Jerry's cuz Mickey Gilley on Pop Goes the Country.Shit.That show was way too short.Man I miss Carl.Ain't it crazy that the Killer is the last man standing.When the Killer does go on,I hope not soon he is my man,they need to replicate his liver&kidneys.Clone his organs.They have stood the test of time.I want his fingers transplanted to mine,hell and Carls too
more like methusila,800.I know I spelled that wrong.I know Jerry Lee is evil but that man can play.I'm sure he will outlive me and I'm only 43.Like I said clone him,and Keith Richards while you are at it
Where do you get this information that Jerry Lee is evil? He never seemed evil to me, and he claims to be a Christian, so why would you call him evil?
@CashPresley32 I was just jokin about Jerry Lee being evil.I'm actually one of the Killers biggest fans.Theres just been plenty of people in the past that thought Jerry Lee was evil or bad.I love Jerry Lee and hopes he lives longer than me because if he doesn't I'm gonna cry just like when Dale Earnhardt died.I know that when Jerry Lee is gone thats it.The true end of the Masters.He is the Last Man Standing
You're right, because we lost Elvis first, then came Roy Orbison, then it was Carl Perkins, and last to die was Johnny Cash, and they were all great. I was hit hard when Johnny Cash died.
@dayroemer no jerry lee is'nt evil. he's old south. they went to church sunday and the bordellos of new orleans and baton rouge on saturday night. he was just one of millions.
@TheBabyboomkidof53 No doubt Babyboom.I guess the folks up north just didn't know what we southern born rebels were all about .Sunday morn was for our repentance.Hell,we had plenty a preacher sharing the corn liquor and muscadine wine on Friday and Saturday nites with the flock.Wasn't no big deal when i was young.God provides and we consume.
@RMphy89 Now it makes sense -- the sound of his voice,, the guitars, etc. Studio wizardry, eh? But, then again, a bit of dishonesty, when you think about it.
@RMphy89 Now it all makes sense -- his voice sounds a bit weird, when you think about it, and the guitars a touch too jangly. Studio wizardry, but a tich dishonest, too.
Theres a funny story about "Matchbox", Carl and his band improvised it, drunk as skunks, so, years later, when the Beatles asked him how he got that sound, Carl said he had no idea cause he wrote it plastered, so, the Beatles taught him his own song! (its true! I heard him say it on a radio interview, years ago)

Blue Suede Shoes may be Carl's biggest hit, but, in my opinion, this is his greatest song! (Id give it 20 stars if I could)

It's probably more that they slowed it down on the digital version, you find that with lots of vinyls.
