@BigBalladSinger right. it wasn't meant that bad but i deleted that comment. i'm a huge perkins fan and singer of a johnny cash tribute band. guess i was drunk when i wrote that shit. couldn't even rocognized it first :-D
Got to agree - what a song but I think the better version he did was on the Rockabilly session with George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Rosanne Cash etc. What a tune.
Whats funny about Perkins, is that he primarily did Rockabilly, but even his country style was innovation. "Sure to fall" "Turn around" and even "Lend me your comb (which had latin rythms, R&B, and country combined) was very innovate. In fact, Perkins emulates Pedal steel licks on the chorus of "Lend me your comb." An innovator and, in my opinion, up there with the guitar greats.
My all-time favorite Carl Perkins song, thanks for posting. I had the good fortune of meeting Mr. Perkins in Chicago back in 1977. A true gentleman & a musical inspiration always.

@ChihuahuasChannel My favorite version was the one he did for Columbia Records in the late 60s-early 70s....
