Carl Perkins' Cadillac

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A song from the Drive-By Truckers album The Dirty South, Carl Perkins' Cadillac sympathetically tells the story of one of the giants of rock and roll, Sam Phillips of Sun Records. The narrative of the song being the story that Sam Phillips promised a Cadillac to the first Sun artist who created a gold record. Obviously that person was Carl Perkins.
