This isn’t a Carl Perkins album.

Nor is itan NRBQ album.

It’s by a new group, Carl Perkins—and—NRBQ.

A new group? Maybe that’s misleading. There’s Carl Perkins—and he was playing rock and roll before they had a name for it. The other five guys have been listening to that kind of music since they were old enough to sit up—and they’ve recently made a name for themselves because of the personal manner in which they perform it.

So, here is an album—by an established artist and an established group, who never before performed together—that makes sense, for a change. If most of those ‘‘super session’’ things fail to come off, this one is a notable exception. Carl and NRBQ have never been more at home separately than they are together.

Carl Perkins is magic. He always has been magic, because he was part of that ‘‘Sun sound” that wrote the rules for rock and roll. Perkins belonged to that great list of performers that Sam Phillips assembled in the early ’50’s on his Memphis Sun label a list that included people like Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison.

The Beatles realized Carl’s greatness. That’s why they recorded three of his songs: ‘“‘Honey Don’t,’’ ‘‘Everybody’s Trying to Be My Baby”’ and ‘“‘Matchbox.”’ Carl Perkins. ‘‘Mr. Blue Suede Shoes.’’ You have to wish that he was your uncle, because the man just radiates the joy he sings about. He may be the nicest guy in the world.

Then there’s NRBQ—five guys who eat a lot of peanut butter, drink a lot of RC colas, and play a lot of joyous music. They're known for their eclecticism—in one set they’ll run a musical gamut from the Coasters to Sonny Rollins. But they’re best-known for their brand of rock and roll. Such recordings as ‘‘Stomp,”’ “C’mon Everybody” and ‘‘Mama Get Down Those Rock and Roll Shoes,” on their album NRBQ (CS 9858), adequately demon- strate why. 

The point is that NRBQ’s kind of rock and Carl’s kind of rock are synonymous. And putting them together is a double bonus - for this rock and roll is twice as good as anything that’s been heard for a long time.

Not everything on the album is a combined effort. And this is good, too. On a lot of albums of this kind, the sentiment seems to be that the combination of musicians should complete a whole album, no matter what. There are no compromises here. Carl and NRBQ did the tunes they wanted to together, and each recorded separately, also. So, there’s some pure Perkins and some pureNRBQ on these tracks also, which should be to the enjoyment of the fans of each.

There are seven Perkins compositions on the album:

BOPPIN’ THE BLUES, the title tune, was the first cut made at the session. Long an NRBQ favorite, it articulates the musical philosophy of all concerned. Carl plays lead guitar and does the singing;

TURN AROUND was first recorded by Jerry Lee Lewis. Steve Ferguson plays the electric guitar;

SORRY CHARLIE probably cooks harder than anything else on the album. Steve plays lead guitar, but that’s Carl who begins the tune;

ALL MAMA’S CHILDREN is another of Carl’s rock standards. Anyone who makes it through this tune without moving is dead. Steve plays the first guitar solo, and Carl the second;

JUST COASTIN’ is a thing that Carl was just picking around on in the studio. It was so typical of that Perkins touch that he was persuaded to record it;

ALLERGIC TO LOVE was never before recorded. Ferguson plays lead here;

SURE TO FALL is a ballad that was actually recorded by NRBQ as the flip side of the single release, ‘‘Down in My Heart,” prior to these sessions. It was included by them to pay special homage to Carl’s influence.

Except for RIP IT UP, a Little Richard classic which Frank Gadt+ sings, the rest of the album consists of NRBQ originals:

TINA is Jody St. Nicholas’ second composition to be reorded by the group. Jody sings lead; 

DR. HOWARD, DR. FINE, DR. HOWARD is one of thee uniquely NRBQ things that pays tribute to three friends;

FLAT FOOT FLEW7ZY is a Ferguson surprise. Wifi unbelievable lyrics and fluid guitar work, he vividly depictsthe guy who has to be the ‘‘filthiest’”’ man alive;

ON THE FARM, written and sung by Tery Adams, makes its own social commentary;

STEP ASIDE, a Ferguson tune, is tte only vocal duet on the album, with Steve and Carl alternatng on the verses.

The great thing about this album:that it actually contains the excitement that Carl Perkins anc/ NRBQ are known to generate. It’s enough to make a believerout of anybody.

You see, they ain’t triflin-a handful of dimes and a juke box really will cure your ills. Donn Adams
