FYI: Shane asks Kevin if the reason Elvis had the hit version of Carl Perkins' "Blue Suede Shoes" was because Carl got sick and couldn't tour. No, it was because Carl and his band were on their way to NYC to perform the song on The Ed Sullivan Show when on the way were involved in a serious car accident, their appearance therefore being cancelled.

 

Speaking of real Rock 'n' Roll, here's one of Dave Edmunds' last recordings released by a major label, a great one:

1. "You only get one chance in life, if you want to be a star."

Joe's Garage by Frank Zappa

2. Had the pleasure to see Carl Perkins and NRBQ, way back in 1980. "Boppin' the Blues" still in my rotation.

3. Steve Ferguson's solo in Flat Foot Flewzy is real rock 'n' roll.

I'm a little younger than Eric. I hear a lot of rock a billy in that track. I could equate that to some Brian Setzer in current form.
