To Snidge...Grady Martin's own web pages says his first fuzz/ distortion was in 1961.Marty Robbins-"Don't Worry"..Nothing like the trios.I challenge anyone to come up with the classic distortion sound found on the trio's classics.."Train Kept Rollin" "Honey Hush"..when P. Burlison was not in the studio..

[TheSnidge]

The great guitar that you're hearing is played by Grady Martin-the guy in the film is just miming.

Grady played on all the great Nahville tracks by Burnette and many other artisits too.

[TheSnidge]

@TheSnidge There ain't no fuzz tone-its the same rich sound Grady Martin used on loads of other records.I dont see why Mr Burlison would have been in the studio even hanging out.

The bass is not Dorsey Burnette it is a seesion standard player Bob Moore.

The guitar player on the NY records by Burnette plays the same pattern on his two rock tracks and was not capable of the big variety of licks that Grady had.

Also the sound -different amp different guitar better timing.

[dburlison1]

@TheSnidge In New York Completely different producer..Bob Theil..He wanted my dad (P. Burlison) to turn his treble control as high as possible..Tear it up..O Baby Babe..completely different producer, studio , enginner,etc. Nashville..GM actually tried to copy my dad's high tenor licks in subsequent recordings with Johnny Carrol..

[TheSnidge]

@dburlison1 Nothing to do with Bob Theile-all Paul Burlisons recordings from that time were thin sounding i.e the live versions of Hound Dog and Tear It Up.

The guitar on the Burnette Nashville records is all Grady Martin.

Burlison just pretended he played on them.

[dburlison1]

@TheSnidge Actually if you listen to GM on Johnny Carrol's work cut a few months after the trio album you will hear GM attempting to copy my dad'a high treble licks used in the NY recordings.J. Carroll-."Wild Wild Women" and "Crazy , Crazy Lovin"..You will also hear what Gm sounded like when P. Burlison was not in the studio.

[TheSnidge]

@dburlison1 You really have no shame-your dad spent his life taking credit for Grady Martins work and now you are trashing Grady Martin and robbing his grave at the same time.

They used session guys because players like Burlison werent good enough as you can tell by watching Hound Dog video.

If he played on Nashville sessions then how come he couldnt play worth a damn before or after?

[dburlison1]

@TheSnidge I'm not thrashing GM..You are the one with a mission to destroy my dad's legacy.I think you make a post daily...Evidently,you have no response to GM's rockabilly guitar playing on Johnny Carrol's records.I have my suspicions about the Hound Dog video...GM was a great sessions guitar player..But the raw rockabilly sound of the trio was something the trio had worked on long before the Nashville sessions..

[TheSnidge]

@dburlison1 Crazy Crazy Lovin by Johnny Carroll has great guitar by Grady Martin-theres some other stuff on YouTube which has a different guitar player and maybe youre confusing them.

My posts are responses to yours which are addressed to me so what do you expect.

Everyone who checks out Grady Martins records is convinced about this-plus there is no evidence that Paul Burlison could play that way before or after.His legacy is the three NY tunes he actually played on which is not denied.

[dburlison1]

As to the Hound Dog youtube submission...where did this sound track come from..can anyone verify it is my dad.P. Burlison and the original and not a doctored version..I never heard it before...Ck the trio NY recordings(obviously my dad)"Tear it up" "O Baby Babe"..and again GM can not be playing both treble licks on the deeper fuzz tones on "Train kept Rollin" "Honey Hush" 1956 single track

[dburlison1]

Also,the statements about Martin leaving when Cliff Gallup was present confirms my dad's talent..Believe me..Professional artist do go play golf when a good new artist arrives.. the stay to learn and compete..Amazing egos...Also, when "train kept a rollin" was recorded my dad had been living in the Roosevelt Hotel(NY) for almost a year,playing rock a billy every day on their Mgr's (Henry Jerome) radio broad cast..The Nashville session.. was Grady Martin's first day as a rock billy

[dburlison1]

By the way my dad played a telecaster...and the reason ( as told by him) for the high high tenor sounds in the NY recordings vs the Nashville was due to the NY producer who insisted my dad use a high tenor sound on the NY songs....And the raw energy rock billy licks were being played by my dad in Memphis honkytonks long before Grady Martin ever heard of Rock a Billy...

[dburlison1]

By the way...Grady Martin's website says he first created the "fuzz tone" In Marty Robbins 1961 hit "Don't worry...My dad was using his created fuzz tone in his 1956/57 album on several songs...Who had the lead in" Tear it Up" recorded in NY..Not Grady Martin ..a Nashville Hank Williams /Patsy Cline backup...Rock a billiy in 1956 was completely new to NY and Nashville..

[surfercrow]

@dburlison1 - that's true! the loose tube in the amp thing! '56 very cool. Maybe that inspired Grady to fiddle with the recording desk overload signal in 61. Which probably gave Glen Snoddy the idea to patent the Fuzz Tone foot pedal circuit in 62. It's really innovation, not invention. Another good one: Grady & Hank Garland showed up (as usual for sessions) when Gene Vincent & Blue Caps came to Bradley's Barn but after hearing Cliff Gallup play a few runs, they realized they wouldn't be needed!

[dburlison1]

Paul Burlison's Son here....It's amazing that some want to give credit to Grady Martin for my dad's work..(After his Death)He played with Howling Wolf and was a three time winner on Ted Mack before there was rock in roll.......

(Per my dad).the studio artist in NY and Nashville after the Ted Mack success.really knew nothing of rock n roll....which my Dad was one of the first to create..plan and simple..see the credits on the early album ..NY-Bigband--Nashville- country..

[surfercrow]

@dburlison1 - Nothing but respect for your dad, but Grady Martin's playing style is hard to mistake. ex: BIGELOW 6-20 by Brenda Lee = Same guitarist as L.Train, It's pretty obvious when heard back to back. Grady is featured on many sessions w dozens of big name artists. Yes, it's clear Paul played lead on some R&R Trio recdngs.Tear It Up & others (great stuff!) The style is straight ahead & tone is bright (Esquire) w tweed amp, in contrast to Grady's use of BIgsby gtr & Standel amp, heard here.

[ironyvonne]

I LIKE THIS  THIS STUFF CAUSE THATS THE ORIGINS OF REal WILD ROCKIN MUSIC

[Jamsprks]

Rock-N-Roll  doesn't get any better than this!

[dinguitas]

This is the real Rock´nroll!!

[cordwoody53]

Burlinson also goes oughta time miming Grady's guitar !!!!! .

[elvisjimpa100]

One of the best rock and roll legends of all times.Hes up there with Elvis,Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran.

[dccerros]

@elvisjimpa100 along with johnny carroll and others

[mrtwang32]

And that isn't Dorsey on upright, either.

[spudwas]

sync issues are obvious

[50slife]

now here is another talent

[66fredo99]

I'm feeling this!

[petesothow]

One of the driving forces of Rock a Billy and no one will comment. This Daddy rocked thrrough his very short life.

[dburlison1]

@rbound827 P. Burlison's son here..Any one eyed man can see that the audio and video are not the same..On most of the Nashville classics it is actually my dad and Grady Martin..Again, a one eared man can easily hear two guitars on the classic "Train Kept rollin" (my Dad fuzz tone octaves)..same on " Honey Hush"
