Have a question. I like the way Carl Perkins sings this song , so yeah thumbs up. Did The Beatles ever record '' Honey Don't '' ? I'm not a Beatles fan even thou I'm 48 years old. I like some songs of The Beatles but my knowledge of them is not vast. Peace people and thanks . Long Live Elvis Presley , The true King Of Rock 'N Roll !!!!!!!!!

This great,great man,truly never got his due!! Elvis REALLY overshadowed this brilliant man! Not only that but,the death of his brother just after releasing Blue Suede Shoes,hit him really hard!!

This song/post was broadcast on AM1070 KNTH in Houston on 2/18/15. Hump day is here. I'm getting started (and warming up) with some Maxwell House Dark Roast Coffee and the AM1070 5:20 oldie. Therefore, it must be uptempo. Recently, Facebook's 'Lady of the Apple,' Andrea Wiener, made a post about a lot of great music from the 1960s that is no longer heard on the radio. I feel the same way about a lot of songs from the 1950s. Such an example from 1956, would be this one from the late Carl Perkins and "Honey Don't." The son of a tenant farmer, he grew up picking cotton, and was fascinated by the gospel music sung by black Americans working in the cotton fields. He would go behind the family chicken house and pretend he was singing on Nashville's Grand Ole Opry.At 7, he began playing a guitar that his father had made from a cigar box, broomstick and baling wire.He wrote "Blue Suede Shoes" after hearing a boy telling his prom date not to step on his blue suede shoes. He went back to his home in a housing project and wrote the song on a brown potato sack. What was on "Side B?" It was covered by more than 20 other artists, including The Beatles, Ronnie Hawkins and Johnny Rivers. Carl Perkins 1st brought the song to a rehearsal with his band which at the time comprised the Perkins brothers (Carl, Jay and Clayton) and W.S. Holland on drums. When Carl first played the song to Jay, his brother, who was on acoustic guitar and backing vocals, protested what sounded to him like an odd chord choice, going to a C7 chord after the E of a natural blues progression choice of A. At 1st, Jay refused to go along, but Carl convinced him it was something different, and today the chord choice is one of the most interesting aspects of the song. Perkins and his band performed the song, along with "Blue Suede Shoes", during their television debut on ABC-TV's 'Ozark Jubilee' on March 17, 1956. "Side B" is "Honey Don't." Have a good Hump Day.

Great tune! I like to sneak away to a used book store once in awhile. It is in a building that's about 150 years old. A real hideaway with lots of character. While browsing today this song was playing through their speaker system. I couldn't help doing a little dance in the aisles. :)

In 2005 my wife,son and myself took a weekend trip to Memphis. I stood on the sidewalk in front of the old Sun Records building. I still get chills thinking about what I felt there. Hallowed ground.

It's hard to believe in all the world, only 3200 people have listened to this. The b-side of 'Blue Suede Shoes' by their author. I'd just like to know what "you got that sand all over your feet" means...how many people think it's a Beatles song...

I love these old songs!
