The boys grew up hearing <a href="/wiki/Southern_gospel" title="Southern gospel">Southern gospel</a> music sung by white friends in church and by black field workers and sharecroppers in the cotton fields.<a href="#cite_note-pc8-7">[7]</a> On Saturday nights Perkins would listen to the <a href="/wiki/Grand_Ole_Opry" title="Grand Ole Opry">Grand Ole Opry</a>, broadcast from <a href="/wiki/Nashville,_Tennessee" title="Nashville, Tennessee">Nashville</a> on his father's radio. <a href="/wiki/Roy_Acuff" title="Roy Acuff">Roy Acuff</a>'s broadcasts from the Opry inspired Perkins to ask his parents for a guitar.<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a> Since they could not afford to buy one, his father made one from a <a href="/wiki/Cigar_box_guitar" title="Cigar box guitar">cigar box</a> and a broomstick. Eventually, a neighbor sold his father a worn-out <a href="/wiki/Gene_Autry" title="Gene Autry">Gene Autry</a> guitar. Perkins could not afford new strings, and when they broke, he had to retie them. The knots cut his fingers when he would slide to another note, so he began bending the notes, stumbling onto a type of <a href="/wiki/Blue_note" title="Blue note">blue note</a>.<a href="#cite_note-naylor118-3">[3]</a><a href="#cite_note-:0-9">[9]</a> Perkins taught himself parts of Acuff's <a href="/wiki/The_Great_Speckled_Bird_(song)" title="The Great Speckled Bird (song)">Great Speckled Bird</a> and <a href="/wiki/The_Wabash_Cannonball" class="mw-redirect" title="The Wabash Cannonball">The Wabash Cannonball</a> having heard them played on the Opry. He also has cited <a href="/wiki/Bill_Monroe" title="Bill Monroe">Bill Monroe</a>'s fast playing and vocals as an early influence.<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> Perkins also learned from John Westbrook, an African-American field worker in his sixties who played blues and gospel music on an old acoustic guitar. Westbrook advised Perkins to "Get down close to it. You can feel it travel down the strangs, come through your head and down to your soul where you live. You can feel it. Let it vib-a-rate."<a href="#cite_note-naylor118-3">[3]</a><a href="#cite_note-:0-9">[9]</a> In January 1947, the Perkins family moved from <a href="/wiki/Lake_County,_Tennessee" title="Lake County, Tennessee">Lake County, Tennessee</a>, to <a href="/wiki/Madison_County,_Tennessee" title="Madison County, Tennessee">Madison County</a>, 70 miles from <a href="/wiki/Memphis,_Tennessee" title="Memphis, Tennessee">Memphis</a>, the largest city in West Tennessee and a center of a great variety of music played by both black and white artists.<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a> At age fourteen, Perkins wrote a country song called Let Me Take You to the Movie, Magg. <a href="/wiki/Sam_Phillips" title="Sam Phillips">Sam Phillips</a> was later persuaded by the quality of that song to sign Perkins to his <a href="/wiki/Sun_Records" title="Sun Records">Sun Records</a> label.<a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Beginnings_as_a_performer">Beginnings as a performer</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Carl_Perkins&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Beginnings as a performer">edit</a>]</div> Perkins and his brother Jay had their first paying job (in tips) as entertainers during late 1946 at the Cotton Boll tavern on Highway 45, twelve miles south of Jackson, Tennessee, starting on Wednesday nights. Perkins was 14 years old. One of the songs they played was an up-tempo country blues shuffle version of <a href="/wiki/Bill_Monroe" title="Bill Monroe">Bill Monroe</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Blue_Moon_of_Kentucky" title="Blue Moon of Kentucky">Blue Moon of Kentucky</a>. Free drinks were one of the perks of playing in a tavern, and Perkins drank four beers that first night. Within a month, Carl and Jay began playing Friday and Saturday nights at the Sand Ditch tavern near Jackson's western border. Both places were the scene of occasional fights and both of the Perkins brothers gained a reputation as fighters.<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a> During the next couple of years, as they became better known, the Perkins brothers began playing other taverns around Bemis and Jackson, including El Rancho, the Roadside Inn, and the Hilltop. Carl persuaded his brother Clayton to join them and play the <a href="/wiki/Upright_bass" class="mw-redirect" title="Upright bass">upright bass</a>, to complete the sound of the band.<a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a> Perkins began performing regularly on <a href="/wiki/WTJF_(AM)" title="WTJF (AM)">WTJS</a> in Jackson during the late 1940s as a sometime member of the <a href="/wiki/Tennessee_Ramblers_(Tennessee_band)" title="Tennessee Ramblers (Tennessee band)">Tennessee Ramblers</a>. He appeared on the radio program Hayloft Frolic on which he performed two songs. Sometimes, one was Talking Blues as done by Robert Lunn on the Grand Ole Opry. Perkins and his brothers began appearing on The Early Morning Farm and Home Hour. Positive listener response earned them a 15-minute segment sponsored by Mother's Best Flour. By the end of the 1940s, the Perkins Brothers were the best known band in the Jackson area.<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a> Perkins had day jobs during most of these early years including picking cotton, working at various factories and plants and as a pan greaser for the Colonial Baking Company.<a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a><a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a> His brothers had similar pick up jobs. In January 1953, Perkins married Valda Crider, whom he had known for a number of years. When his job at the bakery was reduced to part-time, Valda, who had her own job, encouraged Perkins to begin working the taverns full-time. He began playing six nights a week. Later the same year, he added <a href="/wiki/W._S._Holland" title="W. S. Holland">W.S. "Fluke" Holland</a> to the band as a drummer. Holland had no previous experience as a musician but had a good sense of rhythm.<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a> <a href="/wiki/Malcolm_Yelvington" title="Malcolm Yelvington">Malcolm Yelvington</a>, who remembered the Perkins Brothers when they played in <a href="/wiki/Covington,_Tennessee" title="Covington, Tennessee">Covington, Tennessee</a> in 1953, noted that Carl had an unusual blues-like style all his own.<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a> By 1955, Perkins had made tapes of his material on a borrowed tape recorder and sent them to record companies such as Columbia and RCA. But he used addresses such as Columbia Records, New York City and seemed dismayed at the lack of response. "I had sent tapes to RCA and <a href="/wiki/Columbia_Records" title="Columbia Records">Columbia</a> and had never heard a thing from 'em."<a href="#cite_note-Top_Beats_Bottom-20">[20]</a> In July 1954, Perkins and his wife heard a new release of "<a href="/wiki/Blue_Moon_of_Kentucky" title="Blue Moon of Kentucky">Blue Moon of Kentucky</a>" by <a href="/wiki/Elvis_Presley" title="Elvis Presley">Elvis Presley</a>, <a href="/wiki/Scotty_Moore" title="Scotty Moore">Scotty Moore</a> and <a href="/wiki/Bill_Black" title="Bill Black">Bill Black</a> on the radio.<a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a> As the song faded out, Perkins said, "There's a man in Memphis who understands what we're doing. I need to go see him."<a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a> According to another telling of the story, it was Valda who said that he should go to Memphis.<a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a> Later, Presley told Perkins he had traveled to Jackson and had seen Perkins and his group playing at the El Rancho.<a href="#cite_note-Top_Beats_Bottom-20">[20]</a> Years later, the rockabilly singer <a href="/wiki/Gene_Vincent" title="Gene Vincent">Gene Vincent</a> told an interviewer that, rather than Elvis's version of "Blue Moon of Kentucky" being a "new sound", "a lot of people were doing it before that, especially Carl Perkins."<a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Sun_Records">Sun Records</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Carl_Perkins&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Sun Records">edit</a>]</div> Perkins successfully auditioned for <a href="/wiki/Sam_Phillips" title="Sam Phillips">Sam Phillips</a> at <a href="/wiki/Sun_Records" title="Sun Records">Sun Records</a> in early October 1954. "<a href="/wiki/Movie_Magg" title="Movie Magg">Movie Magg</a>" and "Turn Around" were released on the Phillips-owned Flip label (151) on March 19, 1955.<a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a> "Turn Around" became a regional success, and Perkins was booked to appear along with Elvis Presley at theaters in <a href="/wiki/Marianna,_Arkansas" title="Marianna, Arkansas">Marianna</a> and <a href="/wiki/West_Memphis,_Arkansas" title="West Memphis, Arkansas">West Memphis, Arkansas</a>.<a href="#cite_note-nytimesobit-2">[2]</a><a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a> <a href="/wiki/Johnny_Cash" title="Johnny Cash">Johnny Cash</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Tennessee_Two" class="mw-redirect" title="Tennessee Two">Tennessee Two</a> were the next Sun musicians to be added to the shows.

Again performing at El Rancho, the Perkins brothers were involved in an automobile accident in Woodside, Delaware. A friend who was driving was pinned by the steering wheel. Perkins dragged him from the burning car. Clayton was thrown from the car but was not seriously injured.<a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a> Sun released another Perkins song, "Gone Gone Gone",<a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a><a href="#cite_note-29">[29]</a> in October 1955,<a href="#cite_note-rcs-discography1-30">[30]</a> which also became a regional success.
