It’s hard to believe that, so many years later, ‘lost’ sessions from the greats of rock’n’roll past are still being uncovered. The most recent example of such an historical find came this year in the form of unreleased material recorded by the King Of Rockabilly, Carl Perkins, discovered by music historian Shawn Pitts and Sun expert Hank Davis and now available through Bear Family Records. Perkins may have come to prevalence via his 1956 breakthrough Blue Suede Shoes, but when he arrived at Sun Records’ door, he was far from a roughcut hillbilly. In fact, as these recordings underline, Carl had been busy perfecting his trade in a small studio in rural Tennessee. One need only listen to his take on Good Rockin’ Tonight for evidence, recorded around two years before Elvis and one of several priceless recordings found. Other tracks released here for the first time include Drinkin’ Wine Spo-Dee-O-Dee, There’s Been A Change In Me and Devil’s Dream, alongside a handful of unissued Sun-era outtakes, including rockin’ favourite Gone, Gone, Gone. These phenomenal new cuts have been remastered and are available on the Discovering Carl Perkins 10” LP, complete with 16-page booklet featuring unseen photos.
