Carl Perkins - Dixie Fried - Live 1957

[@BrentPetrishen-x4t]

An original rock and roller. And one hell of a guitar player. Some would call this rockabilly, but it's just damn good music, period!

[@threeg6966]

Carl Perkins is definitely one "Cool Cat" 😎 👌 Love his guitar work. 🎸

carl perkins is not mentioned often enough when the subject of "greatest rock and roll guitar players" comes up. he was an incredible player. great clip, thanks for posting!

[@herbert9241]

Maybe not in magazine polls but Perks has always been rated among professional musicians.

[@KennyTheIndianCowboy8990]

I think he was the greatest Rock N Roll guitarist.😊

this is @!#!# ! amazing

[@billmilne2889]

Real rock and roll-just as it should be played. What a great writer and performer he was. First saw him in 1968 in Edinburgh, Scotland and was hooked. Subsequently met him several times and was amazed at how humble and gracious he was. A true southern gentleman.

Carl perkins était un ami très proche du king il a dit et toute ça vie qu'Elvis était celui que tout les jeunes attendais et parlait de lui a chaque de ces concerts Carl venerai Elvis je l ai vu a l Élysée Montmartre a Paris en 1995 il a rendu un hommage à celui qu' il considérait comme un de ces vrais amis fidèles. Elvis disait Carl était intouchable dans l histoire du rock'n'roll. Que Carl repose en paix .

[@BrianKlobyGuitar]

Oh man, look at that Goldtop Les Paul with the P90's and Bigsby... YES! :) of course, you can't take anything away from Mr Perkins... the master of Rockabilly Guit-Fiddle... Thanks for posting!

[@ericspencer4599]

Sweet gitfiddle, worth a couple dollars now a days

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

It could be a 1956, the last year they used P-90s, the Bigsby would have probably been an after market addition. Although Gibson would do it too, for more money. I've watched other videos where he was playing a Gold Top with P-90s and a trapeze tail piece. That would make it a 1952 or 53. All worth big bucks today. Truly a COOOL CAT!

@@Mr.56Goldtop so is THAT the guitar he played on "Matchbox?" Sure sounds like it.

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

without Carl Perkins there never have been any rock and roll. Paul McCartney said without Perkins the Beatles would never even existed.

Blaming Carl for shit music isn't right. The Beach Boys and the Rolling Stones will always be more original. Trust me.

[@kindesttrip2306]

[@isorokudono]

The beatles were a fake job on the Beach Boys, trust me. Anyway you wouldn't have Rock n Roll with out LINK WRAY. The fact being Carl was the greatest COUNTRY artist of all time. But what do I know, I'm from Tennessee.

[@29687ray]

Kindest Trip : what I Quoted was what Paul McCartney said. Paul was a huge Carl Perkins fan before the Beatles.. Also Eddie Cochran was a huge influence on Paul McCartney. I certainly didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings. Paul knew all the words to Twenty Flight, that impressed John Lennon. Hope I didn't ruffle anyone's feathers. These are just little fun facts for entertainment only. I know I'll pay the price for this comment. You can go back in your "safe place" now
