Reviews:
“Although it's one of those tunes that seems like it's been around forever, there was a time in pop music history when a "Blue Suede Shoes" didn't exist. As a rock & roll call to arms, a defiant cry of '50s teenage youthfulness, it's the ultimate sign pointer. As a song that was the first to top all three charts (pop, country, and R&B), it's the first great crossover tune of rock & roll. Through the original by its composer, Carl Perkins, and its subsequent covers -- most notably the 1956 cover by Elvis Presley -- it has become one of the national anthems of '50s rock & roll and certainly the most famous rockabilly record of all time. The original boasts several unique qualities, none of which are bettered in Elvis' version or anyone else's, for that matter. For openers, you'll seldom hear a combo with just one electric guitar, an acoustic rhythm, a string bass, and set of drums sound so amazingly full like they do on this track. This is largely due to Sam Phillips' ingenious miking system at the sparse but right on Sun studios, but also because the Perkins band (made up of Carl, his two brothers, and a close friend) plays the track so in the pocket; the record simply swings like mad. The most important ingredient is Carl himself. His guitar breaks brought the electric guitar right out front with two hot solos that truly defined early rock & roll guitar playing while his vocal is another defining moment, full of yelps, bends, and the sheer joy of letting loose on a Saturday night. Elvis eventually went Hollywood, but Carl Perkins could never shake the country boy out of his nature, and that hillbilly charm is what makes "Blue Suede Shoes" such a great record and its simplistic message so irresistible and transmutable to further generations down the road as an early signpost to rock & roll's beginnings.” AllMusic Review of Blue Suede Shoes by Cub Koda
