"Blue Suede Shoes" is a rock and roll standard written and first recorded by American singer, songwriter and guitarist Carl Perkins in 1955. It is considered one of the first rockabilly records, incorporating elements of blues, country and pop music of the time.
Perkins contributed a modern arrangement, along with some minor lyric changes. [6] The recording was later re-released on the 1961 Sun Records album, 'Teen Beat: The Best of Carl Perkins', 'Carl Perkins' Original Golden Hits' (Sun International, 1969), 'Original Sun Greatest Hits' by Rhino Records in 1986, and further compilations.
"Honey Don't" is a song written by Carl Perkins, originally released on January 1, 1956 [2] as the B-side of the "Blue Suede Shoes" [1] single, Sun 234. Both songs became rockabilly classics. Bill Dahl of Allmusic praised the song saying, " 'Honey Don't' actually outclasses its more celebrated platter-mate in some ways."
The songs are musically, thematically, and lyrically totally different. Jefferson's song is about a mean-spirited woman; Perkins' is about a lovelorn "poor boy" with limited prospects. [5] The song was published and copyrighted in 1957 in the US with words and music by Carl Lee Perkins by Knox Music/Hill and Range Songs of New York.
The single was released as a 45 and 78, Sun 243, backed with "All Mama's Children", a song co-written by Perkins with Sun labelmate Johnny Cash. [1] The song was featured on the 1970 album Carl Perkins' Greatest Hits, Columbia LP CS 9833 and the 1986 Rhino Records collection Carl Perkins: Original Sun Greatest Hits, RNCD 75890.
