It's actually Paul Burlison on the lead here..he probably first heard this fuzz/distortion sound playing with Howlin Wolf and his band on a West Memphis radio show..G. Martin did play with Paul Burlison on many of the Nashville cuts, and actually two guitars on many of the Nashville cuts..including "Train Kept Rollin"..
This is such a great track. The drums and bass drive the song and that nasty fuzzed out reverbed to hell guitar is like the machine gun mounted on the car. In the meantime the lyrics and vocals are just making the whole thing meaner than sin.
A lot of bands could learn some important rock and roll lessons from this song.
Seriously, this sound is far more badass than what young people listen to these days! It's a mixture of aggressiveness, sensuality and machismo. I am jealous of my dad's teenage years!
There are obviously two guitars on this record -- Burlison and Martin are both credited. Some guys without ears are trying to bring down a dead man without knowing what they're talking about.
@waldo2384 The original vinyl LP has no credits at all and the session log lists only Grady Martin,so please tell us exactly where 'Burlison and Martin are both credited'.
@TheSnidge Credited historically, not in the liner notes. Does anyone dispute that Burleson was the second guitarist? If not, then the only question is who played the fuzz part. It's clear from listening that the non-fuzz guy is the slicker player -- thus probably Martin.
@TheSnidge That author is is calling Burleson a liar based on nothing but speculation. The author cannot even hear that there are two different electric guitars. He thinks it's one guitar. Hardly a reliable source.
@TheSnidge I read somewhere there’s no original studio log for that recording, or it's long lost. Sorry I can't be more specific, I can't find where I read that. But maybe u can give an online reference for the session log u mention. If it's the "session log" from Vince Gordon's article (the site u plug), that “log” was only compiled by Vince based on his “research” & opinion, not from any original studio log source. He even admits it’s probably not entirely accurate. Read it again.
@Smudgefizz You can find the session log by googling 'Burnette Discography'.It's the first result.Gives the log from Bradley's Film and Recording Studio.All the lead is Grady Martin.Credits Burlison with second guitar on, I think, two songs.
Burlison was a hopeless guitar player-watch the live version of 'Hound Dog' from the Ted Mack Show-it's also on YouTube.
I can't believe the biggest discussion going on right here is about the sound quality and octave. Does nobody else find the lyrics completely outrageous and hilarious? I mean, c'mon man, he's threatening to beat his woman with a baseball bat if she doesn't stop talking!
This is definitely Grady Martin. The phrasing is his, and he's playing the low and high e string at the same time. Check out how Jeff plays "Train Kept A rollin" -
( search on youtube for Darrel Higham Feat. Jeff Beck)
I feel respect for your opinions about who played this or that instrument. I suppose you know much about it. But I still think than music was made for dancing. Listening is fine ,but when someone listen and dance at the same time gets double pleasure. I´m 68 and keep rock´n rolling on saturdays. From Argentina
I was 14 years old when I heard this song on the radio for the first and last time, on radio at least. I didn't hear "Train Kept a 'Rollin'" (Burnette version) till I was in my 40's. Both times I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Wow, I wish they'd have let those guys keep rockin'. 1959 brought the death knell to REAL rock and roll for a long time.: Frankie Avalon, Fabian, etc.. Aargh! Till Lonnie Mack came along and invented blues/rock with Memphis, Wham, etc. in "63.
If you want to see and hear Paul Burlison playing the distortion octaves on this song at age 71 (live with DJ Fontana)..Just youtube search Paul Burlison..go down to Rock and Roll Trio(Last song -"Honey Hush")
To here and see P. Burlison playing these /distortionoctaves at age 71 ..youtube search Paul Burlison and go down to (Rock and Roll Trio)..Last song playin with the Burnette Brothers and DJ Fontana in Jackson Tn yr 2000... ck out Lead on " Honey Hush"
I had this song in my pick up truck CD player and got pulled over for doing 85 in a 50. I told the cop "I'm sorry this song gets my foot heavy." After the cop made me turn my CD player on he jotted down the artist and song in his book and gave me a warning.
To whest..Where did GM create these fuzz tone distortion before or after the trio's album..His own web pages say 1961.Marty Robbins-" Don't Worry".Nothing like the trios
A below average guitar player suddenly produces the greatest guitar records of the rock'n'roll era and then slumps back to his natural level.
By coincidence the best picker of the day who is the house guitar player and whose tone,licks and style match those records to a tee ,and who,moreover says it was him is not to be given credit because the album has a pic of the other guy whose son is,fifty four years later is still fabricating reasons to steal the credit.
@whest Let see in 1956..The trio- my dad were three time winners on National Ted Mack Show..They appeared on National Prime time TV 7 times in 1956.(Perry Como- American bandstand-The Tonight Show)..In 1956 they played daily on Henry Jerome's Nat'l radio show out of NY.when there was only a couple of rockabilly groups in the world..having played it commercially since the early fifties...Did GM create rockabilly?
@dburlison1 the fuzz on marty robbins is a fuzz box and BASS guitar .. or a conventional guitar detuned an octave .. that contributes to the sound .. thr sound here on JB stuff is easily achieved with any small valve amp .. just turn it most of the way up .... even Bill halyes guitarist giot fat slightly distorted sounds then .. anyonec could .. it just wasnt what they wanted to hear ... the low "distorted " guitar notes on this song may well be PB .. but he isnt playing the lick at 1.52
@backthisway Let's see..The credits say it was P. Burlison..P. Burlison said the fuzz'/distortion was him..never before or after did GM create this sound..in all of his recordings...nor did GM ever take credit for this sound..Only if someone is determined to believe it is GM can you say it is not P. Burlison..I'm not so sure was as easy to create this distortion in 1956 as you say...
@dburlison1 it may be OPB ,.. but credits mean nothing ... they dont mention Grady at all ... I bought this album in 1976 .. 20 yrs after it was recorded and they still printed the same sleeve /. so what ... Paul may have been playing that low guitar line on the 6th string .. perhaps .. I have amps from the early 1950's .. they distort easily ..just like that .. with a tele caste, strat, es 175, gretsch anything ... easy peasy .. you play ??
@backthisway In all honesty Grady Martin did probably play a lot of the licks on the Nashville cuts..but I can hear my dad in the Fuzz/distortion licks on the Trio's album..I'm not a guitar player..lawyer..I do play a decent blues harp..and have played on Beale Street, Memphis and with my dad's groups on occasion..Never boxed..did play a little US pro football..
@dburlison1 this is totally your dad. Grady Martin never used this low distorted sound. On AOL Music, Johnny Burnettes daughter says her father told her this sound began in New York with a dropped amp, loose vacuum tube. And Paul Burlison being a electricion could duplicate this sound. On the Nashville recordings both men played on songs such as 'train keep a rollin", "rockabilly boogie" etc. On "Train" Gm powers in with his high energy intro, however your dads lead makes the song! Classic!
@kmarc123 Appreciate your comments...The fuzz/distortion was my dad..these octaves were easy for my dad to play..he had large hands and always liked the thin neck of the fender telecaster to play those licks...he actually first heard a distortion guitar playing with Howlin Wolf on his West Memphis radio broadcast..

@TheSnidge If you listen carefully it wasn´t really an octave anyway .. one guitar (prob Grady) is playing the 6th string .. as on Johnny Hortons track .. the other guitar the top 2 strings .. it is for sure 2 different guitars .. possibly overdubbed but I doubt it .. more likely the 2 guys together ... but which two .. have to ask Bob Moore .. he´s the only one still alive I think !
@vintagereproguitarra Grady Martin never created this distortion sound before or after the Trio cuts.. To hear Paul Burlison playing these same lick at age 71-checkout youtube -Rock and Roll part two..Also,Part three-"Train Kept Rollin..G. Martin's own website says his first distortion was 1961-Don't Worry/Marty Robbins--Nothing like the Trio Cuts..And only one lead on most of this song-Paul Burlison
@dburlison1 If Paul Burlison is on this record I'm a banana-plus Grady Martin does not have and never had 'his own website'.You are just referring to an old independent fan tribute page which has never been updated.
The videos you keep plugging show Burlison and his aged buddies conspicuously failing to play the songs in any sort of competent manner.

@TheSnidge Hi man ... I have been listening to lots of Hank Garlands playing recently .. he and Grady played some really similar phrases and similar sound .. I doubt PB was even on this track .. the 2 guitars are too wel syncd and from the film of PB live he just wasn´t capable of keeping time that tight .. I reckon it was Grady and either Hank or one of the other A team guitar players .. Ray Edenton. Harold Bradley .. there were at least 6 others and were all terrific guitar players.
@whest Same fuzz tone octaves played on "Train Kept rollin"..By Paul Burlison..GM own webpage says his first Fuzz tones were in 1961- Marty Robbins-"Don't Worry" ..Whest--do your homework before you try to discredit my dad. P. Burlison..
@dburlison1 The Burnette records aren't fuzz tone!!!!!!!!! -Just distortion on one string.
Grady Martin doesn't have his 'own webpage', just a tribute page.
There is one electric guitar on this track and it's played by Grady Martin .
The sound,the phrasing and the timing are all characteristic ,not to mention the evidence of Grady Martin and bass player Bob Moore who particularly recalled the session for 'Rockabilly Boogie which features the distinctive distorttion.
@whest There are 2 guitars there actually .. 1.51 1.01 as a couple of examples .. the solos are Grady for sure .. the other may have been PB but could easily have been Hank Garland .. the guitar only sounds fat and slightly distorted because it was a low power tube amp cranked up .. this young Burlison guy obviously doesn't play guitar .. maybe be a boxer though.. ! wink
P. Burlison son here...This is the same fuzz tone my dad used playing with Grady Martin on "Train Kept Rollin" and "Rock Therapy..My dad the deeper fuzz octaves and GM the treble licks..Actually, the fuzz sound was the result of a faulty amp with a loose tube my dad had to pawn to feed five kids..
That's because this song is where train kept-a-rollin' actually came from!!!! The original version of the song 'train-kept a rollin'" was made in 1951 by Tiny Bradshaw, but he made a swing-jazz version. He also made a song called "honey hush" where the riff to train kept a rollin' came from.
It's actually Paul Burlison on the lead here..he probably first heard this fuzz/distortion sound playing with Howlin Wolf and his band on a West Memphis radio show..G. Martin did play with Paul Burlison on many of the Nashville cuts, and actually two guitars on many of the Nashville cuts..including "Train Kept Rollin"..

The fuzzy sound is made by raising the pole piece on the pickup (a P-90) under the deep E string. That's some 1950's heavy metal :).

@dburlison1 The first clear rockabilly guitar is probably 'Love My Baby' by Junior Parker on Sun from 1953.It's a black record and is on YouTube.
After about a year local country guitarist Scotty Moore assimilated the style into the first Elvis records.
Rock'N'Roll can be heard in 'House Of Blue Lights' by Ella Mae Morse from 1941 also on YouTube and it's a white record.
Grady Martin was a fiddle player and country musician but was playing pure rockabilly proficiently no later than 1955.

@dburlison1 The Burnette records aren't fuzz tone!!!!!!!!! -Just distortion on one string.
Grady Martin doesn't have his 'own webpage', just a tribute page.
There is one electric guitar on this track and it's played by Grady Martin .
The sound,the phrasing and the timing are all characteristic ,not to mention the evidence of Grady Martin and bass player Bob Moore who particularly recalled the session for 'Rockabilly Boogie which features the distinctive distorttion.

@whest There are 2 guitars there actually .. 1.51 1.01 as a couple of examples .. the solos are Grady for sure .. the other may have been PB but could easily have been Hank Garland .. the guitar only sounds fat and slightly distorted because it was a low power tube amp cranked up .. this young Burlison guy obviously doesn't play guitar .. maybe be a boxer though.. ! wink

The fuzz on this track is so heavy and nasty it's unbelievable! This version beats every other one on youtube by far.

P. Burlison son here...This is the same fuzz tone my dad used playing with Grady Martin on "Train Kept Rollin" and "Rock Therapy..My dad the deeper fuzz octaves and GM the treble licks..Actually, the fuzz sound was the result of a faulty amp with a loose tube my dad had to pawn to feed five kids..

this song is great kind of sounds like train kept a rollin a bit

That's because this song is where train kept-a-rollin' actually came from!!!! The original version of the song 'train-kept a rollin'" was made in 1951 by Tiny Bradshaw, but he made a swing-jazz version. He also made a song called "honey hush" where the riff to train kept a rollin' came from.
