"Matchbox" is a rock and roll and rockabilly song written by Carl Perkins and first recorded by him at Sun Records in December 1956 and released on February 11, 1957 as a 45 single on Sun Records. It has become one of Perkins' best-known recordings. The song "Match Box Blues" has a long history, including the 12-bar blues recorded by Blind Lemon Jefferson in 1927. Perkins' "Matchbox" has been followed by many cover versions, notably by The Beatles. On December 4, 1956 Carl Perkins recorded a song called "Matchbox." After recording "Your True Love," Perkins's father Buck suggested that he do "Matchbox Blues". Buck knew only a few of the lines of the song, particularly a verse from one of the 1927 recordings by Jefferson, which he had likely heard either in the cotton fields or on the radio, or from a recording or performance by country musicians The Shelton Brothers, who recorded the song twice in the 1930s, and again in 1947.
