This is the real thing from the guy who inspired The Beatles - and he was a damn good guitar player, singer and songwriter.

This is the album to buy if you don't want the entire Bear Family collection. This is a great overview, with all of Carl Perkins' important '50s recording as well as the best of his later period. There are even two unreleased tunes from his later period that I hadn't heard before. As for the early stuff, it has his hits, and it has songs like "Her Love Rubbed Off" and "Caldonia" that are relics of an era gone by. It's only apparent now -- six years after the death of the great rockabilly -- exactly how good he was as a singer, guitarist and song writer.
