Peter Guralnick Quotes

Perkins Was Doing Basically The Same Sort Of Thing Up Around Jackson, And I Know For A Fact Jerry Lee Lewis Had Been Playing That Kind Of Music Ever Since He Was Ten Years Old. You See, From The Honky Tonks You Got Such A Mixture Of All Different Types Of Music, And I Think What Happened Is That When Elvis Busted Through, It Enabled All These Other Groups That Had Been Going Along More Or Less The Same Avenue - I'm Sure There Were Hundreds Of Them - To Tighten Up And Focus On What Was Going To Be Popular. If They Had A Steel Guitar They Dropped It. The Weepers And Slow Country Ballads Pretty Much Went Out Of Their Repertoire. And What You Had Left Was Country-orientated Boogie Music.
