Our Take

In the annals of rock 'n' roll history, few names shine as brightly as Carl Perkins. Known for his iconic song "Blue Suede Shoes," Perkins has left an indelible mark on the music world. His latest album, "Be Bop A Lu La," is a rollicking romp through 12 tracks of pure rockabilly bliss.

From the moment the needle hits the groove, Perkins' signature twangy guitar licks transport you back to the heyday of the 1950s. The title track, "Be Bop A Lu La," kicks things off with a bang, setting the stage for what's to come. Perkins' voice is as smooth as ever, effortlessly gliding over each melody with a playful charm.

Tracks like "Honey Don't" and "Matchbox" showcase Perkins' songwriting prowess, with catchy hooks and clever lyrics that stick in your head long after the music has stopped. The album takes a more sentimental turn with songs like "Sure to Fall" and "Dixie Fried," showing a softer side to Perkins' rock 'n' roll persona.

Overall, "Be Bop A Lu La" is a testament to Carl Perkins' enduring talent and influence on the music world. It's a toe-tapping, head-bopping journey through the sounds of the past, delivered with a modern flair that will have you coming back for more. So grab your blue suede shoes and get ready to dance the night away with Carl Perkins.
