Author Jeff Apter is back for his third appearance on the podcast. He’s just released the book Carl Perkins: The King of Rockabilly. The definitive and fascinating biography of the musical trailblazer who wrote the classic “Blue Suede Shoes” and was the influence behind countless other legendary hits, a rock and roll legend in his own right, and the original rockabilly cat—Carl Perkins.
The artists that are primarily covered in this podcast, the classic rock artists and bands from the mid 60s to mid 90s, are standing on the shoulders of the giants before them including Carl Perkins. A true pioneer, a groundbreaking guitarist, singer, and songwriter. Paul McCartney once said, “If there were no Carl Perkins, there would be no Beatles.” Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, and Jimi Hendrix performed and recorded his songs and became Carl’s friends, collaborators, and champions. We’re going to find out about Carl’s early life in Tennessee, how music came into his life, his rise to prominence, along with the many tragedies in his life including a fateful car crash that stalled his career.
