A song from the Drive-By
Truckers<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive-By_Truckers>'
> 2004 album *The Dirty South
> <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dirty_South_(album)>*, Carl Perkins'
> Cadillac tells the story of one of rock and roll music's early titans, Sam
> Phillips <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Phillips> of Sun Records<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Records>.
> The theme of the song is Philip's integrity and the respect shown to him by
> his stable of artists in the mid-1950s. This is epitomized by a reference
> to notoriously rebellious artist Jerry Lee Lewis<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Lee_Lewis> where
> the lyrics state, "Mr Phillips was the only man that Jerry Lee still would
> call 'sir'". Besides Perkins and Lewis, other artists in Sun's Million
> Dollar Quartet <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Million_Dollar_Quartet>,
> were Johnny Cash <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Cash> and Elvis
> Presley <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvis_Presley>.
> The song's title and narrative came from Sam Phillips having promised a
> Cadillac <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadillac> to the first Sun artist
> to sell a million records.[1]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Perkins'_Cadillac#cite_note-1> While
