Perkins, Carl

Jive After Five (10")

When in 1957 he left Sun Records with his friend Johnny Cash, poor Carl had seen how all his mates were overtaking him, Jerry Lee was beginning to stand out as the wildest star in rock'n'roll, Johnny Cash was energing as one of the biggest names in country music... and while he barely managed to place any of his singles in the country charts. So Carl signed with Columbia Records, hoping that a major label would make it easier for his music to succeed. In his first period there, from 1958 to 1962, he recorded some very high-quality songs, most of which were only released as singles. This 2 LP series compiles the 11 singles Carl released on Columbia Records during those years. In the first volume we find his greatest rock'n'rollers, well reflected with his first single JIVE AFTER FIVE / PINK PEDAL PUSHERS, but also his first firm bets for country with a pop vein, like Y.O.U or JUST FOR YOU, and wonders with a lot of early 60's Memphis sound, like the wonderful HIGHWAY OF LOVE.
