Great job. My favorite DBT song.

This song is about Sam Phillip's promise to give a Caddy to the first Sun artist to record a gold record. They all thought it would be Elvis, but Carl Perkins made it first. It talks about the respect people had for Phillips - 'Mr. Phillips was the only man that Jerry Lee would cal Sir'.

Drive by Truckers seem to have caught the essence of the late 50s-early 60s country and rock scene...all in one song! Great song. Great band.

Sam Phillips is a legendary figure in early rock and roll and a member of the inaugural class of inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. This song pays tribute to him not just for his major talent discoveries but his reputation for fairness to his artists which was then and still is rare in the music business.

@RhondaJane01 Sam Phillips. He was the founder of Sun Records and he recorded Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison, and Carl Perkins just to name a few.
