Abstract

The article from Vintage Rock discusses the creation of the rockabilly classic song "Matchbox" by Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis at Sun Studios on December 4, 1956. The song's origins can be traced back to earlier blues songs by Ma Rainey and Blind Lemon Jefferson. Despite being issued as the B-side, "Matchbox" became more recognized and covered than the A-side, "Your True Love." The song was embraced in the UK, with The Beatles covering it in their live shows.
