简介：Carl Lee Perkins (April 9, 1932 – January 19, 1998) was an American pioneer of rockabilly music who recorded most notably at Sun Records Studio in Memphis, Tennessee beginning in 1954. An outstanding performer, his contribution to rock and roll music is still heard to this day, especially through his fine compositions and guitar playing. His best known song is "Blue Suede Shoes."

According to Charlie Daniels, "Carl Perkins' songs personified the rockabilly era, and Carl Perkins' sound personifies the rockabilly sound more so than anybody involved in it, because he never changed." Perkins' songs were recorded by artists (and friends) as influential as Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and Johnny Cash, which further cemented his place in the history of popular music.

Called the King of Rockabilly, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll, the Rockabilly, and the Nashville Songwriters Halls of Fame; and was a Grammy Hall of Fame Award recipient.

乡村摇滚乐的发展离不开这位吉他大师，Perkins翻新了根源的rock 'n' roll和乡村音乐。在摇滚乐到来的前期，他用他的吉他保卫着这种被人排斥的"魔鬼"音乐。在摇滚乐发展的每个阶段都有受到Perkins风格影响的吉他手，如Beatles乐队的George Harrison，Stray Cats乐队的Brian Setzer等。
