Rhino's Hard Rock Cafe series essentially just offers basic primers of classic rock genres, from surf rock to New Wave. That means they're not of particular interest to collectors, but they are ideal for casual fans, since they contain a good sampling of a particular genre -- in the case of Hard Rock Cafe: Great Balls of Fire, it's early rock & ...

While Carl Perkins recorded many fine records and enjoyed a long and successful career after he left Sun Records, there's no arguing that the sides cut during his tenure with Sam Phillips are his best-known and most influential work; it's all but impossible to imagine the rockabilly revolution of the 1950s happening without hits like "Blue Suede ...

While at Sun Records in the mid-'50s, Carl Perkins made his name with "Blue Suede Shoes." Partly due to some bad timing, though, Perkins was unable to achieve the same level of fame his Sun contemporaries Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis would. But historically speaking, Perkins is just as responsible as those two for the country and blues mix ...
