Although Carl Perkins' Sun recordings are rightly regarded as Rockabilly classics, his recording career didn't stop when he left the label. Rockin' Record Hop brings together 30 of his finest post-Sun Rockers, making this a superb alternative collection for anyone who wants to explore more of the Man Behind the Blue Suede Shoes.
There's plenty here to get the dance floor moving, from Jive After Five, Pink Pedal Pushers and Pointed Toe Shoes through to Rockin' Record Hop, Sister Twister, Born To Boogie and The E.P. Express. The collection also includes Perkins' versions of classics such as That's All Right Mama, Ready Teddy and Jenny Jenny, alongside a substantial selection of his own compositions.
If your collection already covers the familiar Carl Perkins Sun material, Rockin' Record Hop is a great way to dig deeper into his later Rock 'n' Roll and Rockabilly recordings. Thirty tracks of guitar-driven rockin' from one of the original architects of the sound, and a cracking addition to any Perkins collection.
