    “Blue Suede Shoes”—Carl Perkins (1955) Added to the National Registry: 2006 Essay by Mark Bristol with Ken Burke (Guest Post)*

    “Blue Suede Shoes”—Carl Perkins (1955) Added to the National Registry: 2006 Essay by Mark Bristol with Ken Burke (guest post)* Carl Perkins Raised by sharecroppers near Tiptonville, TN, Carl Perkins grew up on Southern Gospel music both from church and from African-American field hands. Roy Acuff and Bill Monroe's music on the “Grand Ole Opry” gave Carl the urge to play guitar, so his dad made him his first one out of a cigar box, later buying him a used and battered Gene Autry model. Young Perkins learned some chords and licks from “Uncle” John Westbrook, a neighboring sharecropper, songs like “Matchbox Blues” (which he later recorded), and how to connect the sound from the strings to his soul. At 14, he wrote “Let Me Take You To The Movie Magg,” which later convinced Sam Phillips to offer him a Sun Records contract, after Carl begged for a chance to be heard. Carl had been playing the beer joints around Jackson, TN, and on local radio with his brothers Jay and Clayton (and later on with W.S. “Fluke” Holland on drums) when his wife Val heard Elvis' version of “Blue Moon Of Kentucky” on the radio and said to Carl, “That sounds like y'all's music.” “Movie Magg” was released March 19, 1955 on Phillips' Flip label, with the much more country “Turn Around” on the other side becoming a regional success. Johnny Cash had become a Sun artist by then, and he, Elvis and Perkins toured regionally together. Carl's second record “Gone, Gone, Gone” was released on Sun, and also was a regional success, with “Let The Jukebox Keep On Playing” on its flipside.

  • Johnny Rivers-Secret Agent

    November 19, 2006--- The ambient sound of Johnny Rivers is unlike anything else that emerged from the southern California rock scene in the mid-1960s. Rivers headlined at the famed Whisky A Go-Go club in Los Angeles, and he was perfect for the legendary club on Sunset Strip. Born in the Bronx and reared in Baton Rouge, La., his assertive vocals embraced the swamp soul of Slim Harpo, and he created new vibe for a region soaking up the Beach Boys and Jan and Dean. On Rivers' series of "Live at the Whisky" albums, his voice is heard above the clinking of ice cubes and the chatter of hot customers. Rivers used the good time, clap-along groove of Los Angeles vocalist Trini Lopez as a template for his live covers of Willie Dixon's "Seventh Son," Chuck Berry's "Memphis" and others. The Whisky was a shot of Vegas without the slots. The Whisky A Go-Go opened in January 1964. It was that guy always sitting next to Jack Nicholson at disc jockey in a mini-skirt danced in a suspended owned by Elmer Valentine (a former Chicago cop) and Lou Adler, who became Rivers' producer. Adler's Los Angeles Laker games. The "Whisky" was purposely mispelled, as was its sister club in Paris. A cage as Rivers played. "The Whisky had a balcony around it," Rivers said teeny. We could barely get bass, drums and guitar giving him tips to get through the door. Eventually I'm going to do a box set of all the six albums I did there." during an interview from his Los Angeles home.
