Rockers & Mods 003: JOHNNY BURNETTE & HIS ROCK 'N ROLL TRIO






ROCKBILLY BOOGIE
JOHNNY BURNETTE & HIS ROCK 'N ROLL TRIO
Coral Records USA, 1957





The exceptional guitar work of Paul Burlison would be enough to elevate Rockbilly Boogie to the status of a rock 'n roll classic all on its own.  The sound Burlison makes would not be out of place on an early record by The Clash and nor would Burnette's blistering lead vocal –– further proof, should anyone still need it, that Memphis had a lot more to offer the world besides the culture-changing phenomenon better known as Elvis Presley.
