That is the coolest shot of Luther I have ever saw
Luther held it down like no one else. It’s a shame he’s not more widely recognized among other telecaster legends. He was essential to one of the greatest and most original sounds in modern music.
He never really played a tele technically they were all Esquires.
Luther and Carl were amazing
I play a Blonde '68 Tele and when I pick and grin with my buddies they say "pick it Perkins" before the solo. Luther was one of the poker faced pickers. Real sound, real music.
He died too young. If he would have lived longer I think he would have been more recognised Luther Monroe Perkins, Jr. (January 8, 1928 - August 5, 1968) was an American country music guitarist and a member of the Tennessee Three, the backup band for singer Johnny Cash. Perkins was an iconic figure in what would become known as rockabilly music. His creatively simple, sparsely embellished, rhythmic use of Fender Esquire, Jazzmaster and Jaguar guitars is credited for creating Cash's signature "boom-chicka-boom" style.[1]
when I listen to his solo, I praise God for that incredible musical moment
Always loved Luther's facial expression...He knew he was the man....And like it wasn't shit to play that guitar like he did.. just like he was taking a drink of water
This is my first time seeing or hearing of Luther and I can tell you I felt the exact same way from the get go watching him play
This is one of the rarest clips of Luther Perkins I've ever seen. Thank you very much for sharing it. If you have more, please upload!

There is a song called “I’ll be all smiles tonight” and you get to hear Luther sing with June Carter
@@tennesseerecords8665 You can also hear luther singing here at 12:37

I love how Marshall starts slapping the stings just like the old days during the middle of the song.
True Legend......
O man that’s good! Love the close up of Luther. Probably the best detailed vid of him playing the famous solo.
Notice his 1 pickup Tele?
@@knowmusicman157 Yeah Buddy. I’ve met some old timers here in SW VA who saw them before the big comeback w/Folsom, and John getting clean. They mentioned how tons of the local audience wanted to meet LUTHER and ask all about his guitar & “Sound”. They were still famous, but kinda smaller-time, so super approachable, and Luther would just show folks his set up & everything, literally. What times they were.
@@swvacollings290 Appreciate your story. Any idea what year is this video? Early 60's? I have a lot of friends around the Richland's area.
That's a Fender Esquire. Bob Wooton did play the solo different from Luther.
@@billducas I thought it was an odd looking tele. Not a tele at all. Thanks for the info.
RIP. The TN 3 and Johnny and Later TN 3 member Bob Wootton.
Just lost WS fluke Holland. The heart beat of the band.
My thoughts and prayers are with Fluke's family as you mourn you loss. He was a truly skilled drummer and entertainer. I pray that you find comfort in God's promise to remove all sickness and "Swallow up death forever...".
-Isaiah 24:8
I love how they zoom in on Luther that's bad ass
Rip Mr W.S “Fluke” Holland, he was the only drummer for Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins, he was the first drummer to set up a full drum kit on the Grand Ole Opry stage
One and only Johnny Cash.
I'm Brazilian and I love the sound of J. Cash. Luther Perkins is one of my guitar inspirations. I would pay anything for a ticket to a Johnny show. ❤️
This is 'still' my favorite country blues song!
My dad introduced me and my brothers to Johnny Cash in the mid sixties and he's my favorite musician still to this day. You either get it or you never will. What an awesome unique one of a kind sound! I own all his records and his Hurt cover was the perfect farewell. RIP
Love this video.It's too bad there's so little footage of Luther, but it's nice to see a close up of him playing Folsom prison blues. Love his expression.
It’s too perfect lol
I heard a version of this where there were train noises accompanying it. I'd love to hear it again. I'm posting July 5, 2024, which is the 42nd anniversary of my 1st hearing it. They were going "wahh oooh wah."
RIP Johnny & Tommy. 😢❤
WoW..... thanks Cowboy for coming up with another awesome video.
R.I.P
Luther Perkins 🎸
Favorite video ever love Johnny and Luther
This just kicks ass. Nothing else needs be said
Solid gold
We lost the most greatest country singer Johnny Cash has been the greatest country singer of all times I like his music a whole lot and his wife is really good singer he surely is missed rest in peace.
This is absolutely superb! What a wonderful new piece of film. As a huge Luther fan, to see a close up of him playing Folsom Prison Blues in really clear film is a beautiful thing. Thanks so much for putting this onto UA-cam!
I think Johnny Cash put out his best material in the 60's, despite being stoned most of the time.
Brian Mitchell all of the time.
This song was recorded in 1955
@@lrn_news9171 but this performance is from the 60s
@@lrn_news9171no this is just after the Folsom prison album was made, cause the song was a lot more baritone before and at the prison Luther’s solos were high pitched and people liked it more so they did it high pitched
@@30acreshop_time No, this performance is from around 1964. Johnny is still thin, Marshal is still playing an upright bass, and Luther is not playing his Sunburst Esquire that he used pretty much exclusively in 1968 until his death. The Folsom Album was recorded in January 1968.
Great Quality! Luther just crack me up!
Johnny Cash my Favorite.
Amazing!!! Wish I had that Tele!!!
I only discovered today. It's a slightly shortened version... but Luther Perkins' look makes up for it all. A gem!
Great to see (and of course hear) Luther! Thanks for posting!
RIP W.S. Holland. There all gone now. Fist was Luther, then Johnny, Marshall and now W.S Holland. Even Bob Wooten gone who replaced Luther in 1968. A few Statler Bros. left.
They had it going on in the 50’s…..talented folks for their time. Nice to look back and see how folks did it before “you tube lessons” and tab and internet , ect. They learned by the seat of their britches and I’m still learning from them. God bless them!
awesome legend of rockabilly and country
Never seen this clip before, I've been a fan for 10+ years. Nice one.
This is a lot of not released footage yet from the 60's
Interesting - who is releasing them?
Not entirely sure to be honest, I guess who ever releases them, releases them
Brilliant footage. Thank you.
Can you imagine being that scared and good??!!
Luther was such a good guitarist its just sad he had such a tragic death
i luv luther perkins and bob wooton.
The Best in 1964!
Awesome
That was amazing!! I love this new rare footage of Johnny Cash from the mid 60’s that you have uploaded, keep uploading more of this rare footage I love it!
AWESOME !!
have fallen In love with this music wow 😮
2018-2020 anyone this is my fav song
More! more!
*_" Cool Hand Luther "_*
Him and hank 3 got that strumming down
Country Style USA performance. Have some of these on disks somewhere.
Great Esquire sound !
there is another video of them playing in black and white where luther and cash chat between chords.
That was Town Hall Party in Compton, CA. August 1959. This was sometime in either January or December of 1964 ;)
Tennessee two with Johnny Cash,Luther Perkins,Marshall Grant, W.S Holland’s
That’s The Tennessee Three.
Bom demais esse clássico, viva ao Jhonny Cash
Even Elvis knew Johnny Cash was Cooler!!!!!
EVERYONE WAS SWAYING AND BOPPING
LUTHER LOOKS LIKE HES ABOUT TO TELL THE BAND SOME DEVASTATING NEWS
BUT HAS TO BITE HIS TONGUE 👅.
LUTHER HAD STAGE PRESENCE
🐐 🐐🐐🐐🐐
The ESQUIRE IS TIGHT😌😌😌
How many of y'all have replayed Luther's solo, over and over, just to learn how it was done?
I wouldn’t have minded if the camera never moved off Luther
Hahahahaha Me too, not at all.
Look how long Luther's fingers were. Wow!
The great JC and the great unsmiling Luther Perkins
I hear that train a comin', it's comin' 'round the bend
I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
I'm locked in Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' on
And I hear that train a-rollin' on down to San Antone
When I was just a baby my mama told me "Son
Always be a good boy don't ever play with guns"
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
When I hear that lonesome whistle I hang my head and I cry
I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars
Well, I know I had it comin', I know I can't be free
But I hear that train a-rollin' and that's what tortures me
Well, if they freed me from this prison and that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it over a little farther down the line
Far from Folsom Prison that's where I long to be
And let that train keep rollin' and roll my blues away
Best
heck yeah! thanks for this! Do you have anymore??
Always interesting to wat ch Luther Perkins He picked up instead of down when playing guitar
He didn't do all up strokes, he did both up and down
If you have it, I would like to see the full episode where Merle Haggard does a bad ass impersonation of Marty Robbins, in front of him
Its on UA-cam on the glen Campbell show.
God Bless the South! Let's go Brandon!
Looks like Luther's esquire guitar has 8 screws in the pickguard and flatwound strings
1955/12/15
Luther Perkins had to be a very modest guy.
Luther should've been so much more confident. He had a unique style for that time and it's part of what made Johnny Cash such a unique sound.
what gauge strings did he play those things look huge
that camera pushing in on Luther and his telecaster....
Great, Great performance all the way around~!~! Also, Johnny Cash knows how to properly pronounce "San Antone"~!~! Not San Antonio~!~!~!
Does anyone know what gauge strings Luther used. The ones in the video seem to be a heavier gauge. A good shot of them is at 1:03
He often used a heavy gauge Flatwound and sometimes maybe a medium Flatwound
@@kadeberrier3799 I wonder if the ones used in this video are 12s, They look pretty thick. The last set of flats I used were 11 - 50 D'Addarios.
Yeah, big flatwounds, and he's tuned up to F. That's a lot of string tension.
12 flats were considered light gauge back then.
All you need is snare, cymbal, kick
Is it too much to ask to put this in its original aspect ratio so Cash's head doesn't look like its been run over by a tractor? Cheers.
was carl perkins one of this group
Carl Perkins played with Cash throughout the sixties into the mid seventies. He took over on lead guitar after Luther died until Bob Wooton came into the picture.
Most odd. John is using the chords of E but they are playing in F, did they tune up a step? it's a bit of a strain on that Martin guitar if they did.
Tuned up
Why Luther Perkins was always so worried ?
He was always nervous. Mostly it was more of a act. His daughter from his last marriage said he was a kind and caring man
When was this? I'm thinking it was about 1956.
Its early 1960s
OK, thanks.
I think it’s 1963/1964 maybe. You can kinda tell by his face. His face changed every year since his drug use increased. Plus, he got super skinny so I would say this is early to mid 1960’s
I was going to claim that Luther is playing an Esquire. But it has a pickup switch, with only one pickup? Why?
It's not a pickup switch. It's a tone switch. The Esquire had its own special circuit.
On a traditional Esquire the switch in the furthest back position was the pick up volume knob only full out no tone knob in the circuit. Middle position is the volume and tone. Forward position is called the bass circuit it ran pickup through capacitors to give it a very bass like tone with some treble present. Luther made use of the position frequently on I walk the line Give my Love to Rose and I still miss someone just to name a few. Listen to Give my Love to Rose on the Folsom Prison Album for a good example of that forward bass tone.
Johnny look high as frick
@DistantKill 2211 why are you offended bruh you got to much dip on ya chip now
LUTHER
Luther is playing the esquire because it only has one pickuo
He also played a Fender Jazzmaster.
what year was this?...
1964
Смешное соло 😂
curren$y
Luther Perkins is just flat out dead, completely unanimated and active of body movements during the entire performances of Johnny Cash, along with emotions. Legit in every live performance of Johnny Cash with Luther in the band his facial expression reads every time.
(Why the fuck am I here?? I'd rather be home or somewhere else!!) it's like a mannequin or a robot was playing the guitar!!
It's too bad he couldn't be a little more animated and active with body movements and facial expressions like Marshal Grant was, because that's really how the performers during a concert should be.
After Luther died, Even Carl Perkins seemed more alive and animated when performing for Johnny Cash in the live performances I've seen.
why are you even watching this video?? with your stupid remarks, so why the fuck are you here go and watch the Banana Splita probaly more your style
very strange guy , he was very lucky with the band he had
He’s missing his bridge pin for his G string. (Not in a dirty way).

guy playing the electric guitar looks like he's not sure about a guitar that has electricity going into it :):)
A man possessed.
Luther perkins created sarcism
You cannot find a more stiff guitarist than that guy with the el gitar!
A bass, a snare & a cymbal
