Tonight's slice of Rockabilly comes courtesy of Johnny Burnette who along with his older brother Dorsey and Paul Burlison performed as The Rock'n'Roll Trio
Rock'n'Roll Trio and Tear it Up can be purchased as a thoroughly recommended 2 album CD - reaping the benefit of all those two minute tracks.
Johnny Burnette was yet another Rockabilly star who met an early and nasty death. At the age of 30 his unlit fishing boat was struck by a cabin cruiser on Clear Lake in California.
Fortunately he left a rich legacy of work before his untimely demise
Johnny Burnette - All By Myself
Johnny Burnette - Tear it Up
Johnny Burnette - Blues Stay Away From Me
Bloody brilliant, great songs.
ReplyDeleteMan, this is basically the blueprint for Brian Setzer's entire career.
