"Honey Don't" is a song written by Carl Perkins, originally released on January 1, 1956 as the B-side of the "Blue Suede Shoes"〔 single, Sun 234. Both songs became rockabilly classics. Bill Dahl of Allmusic praised the song saying, "'Honey Don't' actually outclasses its more celebrated platter-mate in some ways." It has been covered by more than 20 other artists, including The Beatles, Ronnie Hawkins and Johnny Rivers. The song also appeared in the movies ''Prince of Tides'', ''Diner'', and ''Perfect Sisters''. == Behind the song == According to David McGee, author of ''Go, Cat, Go! The Life and Times of Carl Perkins, the King of Rockabilly'', Carl Perkins first brought the song to a rehearsal with his band which at the time comprised the Perkins brothers and W.S. Holland: *Carl Perkins – lead guitar and vocals *Jay Perkins – acoustic guitar and backing vocals *Clayton Perkins – standup bass *W. S. Holland – drums. When Carl first played the song to Jay, Jay protested what sounded to him like an odd chord choice, going to a C7 chord after the E instead of the natural blues progression choice of A. At first, Jay refused to go along, but Carl convinced him it was something different, and today the chord choice is one of the most interesting aspects of the song. Perkins and his band performed the song, along with "Blue Suede Shoes", during their television debut on ABC-TV's ''Ozark Jubilee'' on March 17, 1956. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Honey Don't」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
