Anniversary of Historic Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins Session

The day started like most other days at the studio, with a booked session by a young Sun artist. On this day, that artist was Carl Perkins, who was looking to recapture the magic he had garnered on "Blue Suede Shoes" the year before. Perkins was accompanied by his brothers, Clayton and Jay, and drummer W.H. "Flukie" Holland (later of Johnny Cash's Tennessee Three). An outside musician was brought in my Phillips to fatten up the mix with some additional piano. That outsider was a recent Sun Records signee from Louisiana � a fireball named Jerry Lee Lewis. The session (as one can imagine) was absolutely rollicking, as evidenced by the recording of "Matchbox."
