Carl Perkins Boyhood Home Visit the little house where rockabilly pioneer Carl Perkins once lived, just outside of Tiptonville. Perkins was born in Tiptonville on April 9, 1932. It was in these cotton fields that he learned to play a second-hand guitar, blending the rhythm-and-blues sound with the hillbilly twang he loved. Stop in for information about the Tiptonville area, and play a few Perkins tunes on the jukebox–some you’re sure to recognize, like “Blue Suede Shoes.” See the old Illinois Central Caboose and replica train station. All located at 230 Carl Perkins Pkwy, Tiptonville, TN
