Born to Rock (album)

The album was produced by Brent Maher and Don Potter. Some of its songs were cowritten by Perkins's sons, Greg and Stan. The title track is an autobiographical song. The Jordanaires contributed to the album. Born to Rock included a few prototypical country songs. Perkins later expressed displeasure with the album, commenting that he wished it had a stronger rockabilly sound. ==Critical reception==

Rolling Stone wrote that, "unlike many early rockers who coast through contractual-obligation records with glazed indifference, Perkins sounds feverishly interested in the ten tracks here." The Times called it a "splendid, vibrant collection from a veteran who remains a gifted songwriter, an alert guitarist and a distinctive singer with range, humour and an authentic rockabilly twang." The Capital Times determined that "Perkins, the purest rockabilly of them all, has returned to vinyl with an album that captures the essence of his seminal Sun recordings with the vision of a 50-year-old." ==Track listing==
