Carl Perkins - Back On Top: Box Set 4CDs (2000)

In 1968, Carl Perkins re-signed with Columbia Records, and immediately released one of the best records of his career, Restless. Already a star of the Johnny Cash Show, Carl Perkins was now back in the charts, and his career was once again on the upturn. The 4 CDs in this box cover all of his recordings from his second tenure with Columbia (1968 to 1972) and all of the Mercury recordings (1973 to 1975). There are his regular session recordings, 20 of which are previously unissued. These include the complete recordings with NRBQ and the complete 'My Kind Of Country' sessions (generally hailed as his finest LP). The set also includes Carl Perkins' much-lauded tribute to Elvis, The EP Express, as well as his hit for Johnny Cash, Daddy Sang Bass.
