Carl Perkins - forgotten pioneer or respected legend?

He sounds great on Dylan's Travelin' Thru. From Colin Escott's ever-apt booklet notes:
On the day of the first Cash-Dylan duets, February 17th, Carl Perkins was in an adjoining Columbia studio recording an entire album. The core of the record was remakes of his then unavailable Sun Records catalog, including "Matchbox." The following day...Cash and Dylan recorded "Matchbox" with Perkins on guitar. The song was, Dylan told Perkins, the first he ever recorded. He and his high school band went into a studio in Minneapolis and came away with a one-off record. True or half-true, Perkins needed to hear that. A couple of days later, Dylan gave Perkins one verse of a song, Champlain, Illinois," and asked Perkins to finish it. In July, Perkins slotted it into his fabulously mismatched album with NRBQ.

He would be classic if the only ever thing he did was to write “Daddy Sang Bass.” So überclassic.
