From a cotton field in West Tennessee to the walls of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Carl Perkins carved his name into music history with a battered guitar, a backbeat, and a pair of “Blue Suede Shoes.”
Matchbox: The Carl Perkins Story, is an independent documentary that traces the entire arc of his life: from a dirt-poor sharecropper’s son in Lake County, Tennessee, to a Sun Records trailblazer, to a nearly-forgotten pioneer rediscovered by the Beatles, Johnny Cash, and generations of guitar players who grew up studying his records.

You summed it up perfectly - a musician’s musician. I think that is about the finest compliment you could give.
Elvis may have drawn bigger crowds and had more appeal to the masses, but true musicians will be drawn to Carl.
Elvis was merely an entertainer. Carl was a musician and creator.
Nice job on this documentary. Keep up the good work!
