    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.

      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]

    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

      @chrisburch3808 Рік тому

      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.

    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.
