PERKINS CARL & FRIENDS Blue Suede Shoes - a Rockabilly Session

Popis:

CARL PERKINS & FRIENDS FEATURING GEORGE HARRISON, ERIC CLAPTON & MORE AVAILABLE VIA MADFISH. THE NOW LEGENDARY 1985 UK TV SPECIAL CELEBRATING THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE WORLD-RENOWNED TRACK IS BACK ON VINYL.

Written in October 1955 & released in January 1956, ‘Blue Suede Shoes’ was an instant classic earning a place in the history books when it became the first million-seller to crossover from the Country chart to the Pop & R&B listings. Swiftly covered by Elvis Presley & later The Beatles, the song remains a Rock’n’Roll anthem. Fitting then that Carl Perkins, the man who wrote & first performed ‘Blue Suede Shoes’, should be accorded a television special to celebrate its 30th anniversary. On 21st October 1985 at London’s Limehouse Studios a superstar cast of friends & fans joined Carl Perkins to record a TV special celebrating his career & the classic songs that he had recorded during it.

Perkins was joined on stage by George Harrison & Eric Clapton along with other stars including Dave Edmunds, Slim Jim Phantom & Lee (Stray Cats) Rocker plus Earl Slick & singer Rosanne Cash, daughter of the legendary Johnny Cash.

George Harrison struck up a lasting friendship with Perkins & much of the continued interest in the programme lies in the prominent role played by Harrison. The former Beatle takes lead vocal on several tracks as well as playing guitar & having a great time. The Beatles connection is even stronger in that Harrison is joined by former colleague Ringo Starr with the show representing their first reunion gig since the mid-1970’s.

This album captures the concert & the All-Star band performing Perkins’ finest songs including ‘Blue Suede Shoes’, ‘That’s Alright Mama’ & ‘Whole Lotta Shakin’.
