(July 2022) Episode 421 is CARL PERKINS. A huge influence in early rock ‘n roll, particularly rockabilly. His influence on the Beatles is documented by the number of his songs they covered. He also wrote songs that others made huge hits (Elvis’ Blue Suede Shoes). I’m not into early rock ‘n roll, but it’s interesting to see what inspired others.
