Johnny Burnette All by myself

[Buddy19591]

The way Music should be! Rave on!

[vfall1967]

i was in a neo-rockabilly group in the early 80s and every time we played this cover we would pack the dance floor.......happy memories

[dburlison1]

This ones an original telecaster-Paul Burlison

[jazzbass0321]

good tone Exwire Hey Paul Burlison,

[TheSnidge]

@jazzbass0321 This is not Paul Burlison on guitar -it is Grady Martin.

[dburlison1]

@TheSnidge On this one it's not Bixby..It's a telecaster..Paul Burlison

[TheSnidge]

@dburlison1 What does 'Bixby' mean?

[dburlison1]

@TheSnidge The guitar was a Telecaster..not a "Bigsby"..pardon my typing..

[The170460]

@TheSnidge sure Burlison was not a good lead guitar player.

[julces1943]

esta es la unica canción de Johnny Burnette que conocí hace 50 años. Ahora estoy conociendo su brillante produccion. Gracias. Desde Argentina.

[kathycantrellbrown]

Johnny Burnette was a great Rockabilly. thanks for posting.

[ZechariahFive]

This song could walk into a bar and pick up the hottest chick there...all by itself

[TheFlathead45]

Makes me want a time machine.

[jjhbowers]

Raw, heartfelt emotion!!

[takoma5]

Excellent, The Burnette Bros. along w. Paul Burlison was among the best Rockabillies ever..

[SamusFan64]

this guy is bad ass

[MrWoody1964]

too true ain't no others

[ralphcraddock]

yeah THE BEST along with

gene and his bluecaps.

[JSavic]

RoverTCB, you are a big fan of The Rock 'n' Roll Trio ! Thanks !

[seeburg13]

ROCK A BILLY AT ITS BEST.

[dburlison1]

@backthisway..On the Trio's classic.."Train Kept Rollin" there are actually two guitars..easy to pick up..P. Burlison was playing the fuzz/distortion octaves, as he did on "Honey Hush"..who played the leads on the rest of the Nashville cuts I don't think anyone can say for sure..

[TheSnidge]

@dburlison1 'Honey Hush' is 100% one guitar and 100% Grady.The timing and the licks have his unmistakeable signature.The rythmic pulse is the same as his back up on 'Bird Dog' and many others.It's no way a Fender guitar plus Burlison always played a turnaround whilst Grady tended to hang on the tonic as he does on 'Honey Hush'.

The only evidence of another guitar on 'Train Kept' is the mistimed high note on the final chord.The only audible guitar is Grady.

[JSavic]

@TheSnidge Rock 'n' Roll archaeology ! Constructing the pass from the remaining evidence. Respect !

[dburlison1]

@TheSnidge If you want to hear ans see Paul Burlison playing the distortion octaves on songs such as "Honey Hush" and "Train Kept Rollin" ck out a recent youtube poast of P. Burlison playin live with DJ Fontana and the Burnette cousins at age 71...search Paul Burlison..go down to "Rock and Roll Trio"...Ck lead on last song "Honey Hush"

[TheSnidge]

@dburlison1 I watched it-Paul is playing a dumbed down version of what Grady played on the '56 record.

The whole performance is very poor,old men playing rock'n'roll usually is,it was the music of youth.

[skrimpshidy]

Hmmmm, 80's sucked. The 90's were just as moronic. And, now in 2010 I still don't have a flying car. Atleast there's good Rockabilly!

[Devkerr]

@skrimpshidy

each decade you've listed has decent rockabilly.

of course nothing comparable to the 50's and teddy boy revival of the 70's.

80's gave us the meteors they may be listed as psychobilly but there earlier songs are rockabilly at heart. along with shakin pyramids, 13 cats, polecats etc etc..

[skrimpshidy]

@Devkerr No doubt. I think you missed my point. But, part of it anyway was despite all the bs we still have good rockabilly.

[Devkerr]

@skrimpshidy

amen.

[jazzbass0321]

pole barlison's tere gooooooooooood! WooooooooW

[whest]

@jazzbass0321 Guitar here is not Paul Burlison it is Grady Martin.

[jazzbass0321]

@whest Hey,Martin play dosiy (elder brother),Jhoney to play Exwire

[TheFartingPope]

A fantastic track

[TheSnidge]

Grady Martin on guitar here,as on all the best cuts by this artist.

Paul Burlison was not used.

[dburlison1]

@TheSnidge P. Burlison's son..I see you are just 26..Where were you when this was cut..I guess you think GM also played on the NY sessions.."Tear it up" and "OBabyBabe"...GM own webpage says his first fuzz tone licks were on Marty Robbin's,hit"Don't Worry" nothing like the trios fuzz tone licks.. Honey Hush-Train kept rollin

[backthisway]

@dburlison1 no .. tear it up is Burlison no doubt .. doesnt sound anything like Grady.

[roscoe008]

Rockabilly was the hard rock of the fifties, and Johnny was among the first to belt it out.

[dburlison1]

By the way..where did this sound trak come from..can anyone verify it is my dad.P. Burlison and the original and not a doctored version..I never heard it before...

[ironyvonne]

thats the roots of real rockin music

btw fuck the restabillies:)

[johnnyweep59]

johnnys fantastic vocals and gradys brilliant guitar playing ..two minutes of pure rockabilly..ahhh heaven !

[seeburg13]

GREAT TO HEAR THIS CLASSIC AGAIN

[661GREASERJorge]

Rockabilly for life

[bellgardens53]

Yes, classic rock-a-billy. The peak of rabilly!

[PTECHROB]

This is classic rockabilly.....dam straight....

[muddyfoxx1]

what a classic.

[au05232003]

yeah he gives it that raw rockabilly sound much more than Fats Domino did.....not that I'm knocking fat's style either lol...they both can really rock it!!

[bellgardens53]

@au05232003 Wouldn't compare them as Fats was a R&B artist that a little later became one of Rockn'Roll's originators. But Both are great.

[santinostar]

Always loved this. Rockabilly at his best

[rubenpunk1983]

Grandioso... yo habia escuchado la versión de Batmobile (banda de psychobilly). Pero la version original es mucho mejor.

[jazzy2blue]

i sell the holy grail rock and roll trio..first pressing usa ..

[sk8ncre8]

I'm new to his music, it makes me want to kick something. Train kept rolling is like a punk song almost, it's amazing.

[Xegethra]

well, them 50s rockers were the first rebellious ones....so being wild was something they tended to do heh

[bellgardens53]

@sk8ncre8 Yea, kick something. This is the real deal and rebel stuff. lol

[JohnnyElvis1935]

This IS Rockabilly! Amazing! Johnny B Rocks!

[NatashaMaexxxx]

Such a hot track.

[CTNWB]

We're adding this one to our station CTNWB Wes Bryan - My Life in Music is the name of our google blog. Christine and Wes

[rockabillykat94]

Johnny Burnette Trio

What else can you say besides:

1.Pure

2.Raw

3.Rockabilly

4.PERIOD!

[TheStrainers]

@rockabillykat94 hell yes!

[nollaig85]

yeah they were all good, but their is only one king of rock n' roll Elvis Presley

[xaloom]

brutal!!

[floriobe]

Can't get enough of Johnny Burnette. Still remember getting his LP " Tear It Up: The Complete Legedary Coral Recordings" from Choupette (what happened to her???) in France some 30 years ago in Paris. Thanks for youtube!!!

[johnnyweep59]

been listening to the trio for over 30 years and it still makes the hairs on back of my neck stand on end..these recordings are very very special everyone should have a copy of the coral recordings..johnny was the best rockabilly frontman ever..

[paddy6062]

Johnny burnette and Gene vincent! the real raw sound of Rockabilly!!

[Superundafb]

you are right, both were the wildest

[backthisway]

Both had GREAT guitar players ...Burnette had Grady Martin in the studio and Vincent had Cliff Gallup ... those 2 virtually defined rockabilly and rock and roll guitar .. there were others but those 2 set the world on fire .. and hardly got any credit !

[dburlison1]

@backthisway P. Burloson's son..Listen to Train Kept Rollin..The deeper fuzz tone octaves are Paul Burlison(56 single track..listen),as are they on Honey Hush..Rock Therapty anf Paulk Burlison exclusively on "Tear it UP"....no rockabiily in Nassnville till the trio...Fuzz tone..My dad's faulty amp with a loose tube he had to pawn to by groceries for five kids in 56

[FFSSAKE]

@paddy6062 Gene Vincent was never a rockabilly artist.

[paddy6062]

@FFSSAKE keep your own opinon. i did not ask for it!! tunes like Jump Back,Honey,Jump Back goes into rockabilly...

[FFSSAKE]

@paddy6062 Then your definition of rockabilly is different to mine.

[motorvating]

@FFSSAKE

suggest you look at the official Gene Vincent web site, affiliated to the Rockabilly Hall of Fame, which clearly states he was a Rock n Roll -Rockabilly singer

[FFSSAKE]

@motorvating Gene Vincent was NEVER a rockabilly singer. I love rockabilly and I love Gene Vincent's music (well the early stuff at least) but he never recorded a rockabilly song in his life. His style was rock 'n' roll with a big jazz and blues influence.

[motorvating]

@FFSSAKE

So the Blue Caps and all the people that worked with him, reported on him, the real musical experts are wrong, and you are right??? you really are an arrogant C-nt that needs to take a long look at yourself.

[FFSSAKE]

@motorvating So you're trying to say that all the members of the Blue Caps and everyone who worked with him and reported on him said that he was a rockabilly artist?!?! What planet are you on? I might be arrogant but at least I know what I'm talking about. You, on the other hand should stick to listening to your Showaddywaddy L.Ps. I suppose you think they're rockabilly as well?

[paddy6062]

@paddy6062 thats very clear isnt it...some people class straycats and polecats as rockabilly which i dont..to me they are a 70s pop band..but the lines are no longer that clear

[dru42or3]

THE BEST, THAT'S IT, THE BEST.

[rockthistown81]

THE ultimate original rockers.

[Weidenberg]

Snap your fingers and have a ball tonite!

[Weidenberg]

Rock-A-Billy at its best.

[SlayerCalifornia]

elvis presley was a big fan of johnny burnette

[Weidenberg]

I can understand that very well. Although I`m a big and loyal fan of Bill Haley I love Johnny Burnette`s music as well.

Best wishes from Germany to all over the world.

[squirrelnutcased]

This is how rockabilly should be. PERIOD

none of this digital remastering overdub crap

just real, raw music!

NO fillers, no BS!

[FFSSAKE]

I first heard this around 1980. This is the song that made me a lifetime rockabilly fan.

[rutlegirl]

Cool :) This is one to cut a rug to!

I've been in a Johnny Burnette mood all evening :D

[johnnysteddybear]

[rockabillyshirlie]
