Right at the outset of the liner notes to Bear Family's five-CD boxed set The Classic Carl Perkins, writer Colin Escott sets one long-standing myth straight: Carl Perkins would not have become as successful as Elvis Presley, he says, even if his career had not been inter-rupted by an auto accident just as Perkins began to take off.

- Perkins, Carl
- Blue Suede Shoes. Written, recorded and released in 1955. This is undoubtedly Carl Perkins’ most famous and best selling singles. It was Perkins’ only number one single.
- Matchbox. Written and recorded by Perkins in 1957. “Matchbox,” borrowed a few lines and phrases from blues artists Ma Rainey and Blind Lemon Jefferson but otherwise the recording is arranged by Perkins and shares no musical similarities to the quoted songs.
- Everybody’s Trying To Be My Baby. This song is based on a 1934 song written by Rex Griffin. Perkins recorded his updated version in 1957. Perkins’ version sounds much more modern and the fast back beat and sparse instrumentation lend the song a rockabilly feel.
- Dixie Fried. Also written by Carl Perkins and Howard “Curley” Griffin in 1956. Dixie Fried came out of the same sessions that produced Boppin’ the Blues.
