Gotta love Johnny; some of the best power packed rockabilly written and performed. But moments like this make you realize how Presly's looks and stage show won him the title. Still, man was Johnny Burnette acslick cat! check out my originals as well.
so many people are guessing who did what but paul was there at every session. It's obvious he did not play the lead on most abd its proven he played second lead on more than 1 session. As far as i'm concerned paul was there and did play electric guitar and is adamant he played on train kept a rollin' and honey hush. H dropped his amp in philadelphia and made history. We can argue til the cows come home but paul was there and we were not.
Hi. My dad has the original album i believe his dad gave it to him. The sound on the original album is fantastic and all these newer issues are tame in comparison. It's a fact that the sessions are widely discussed these days and we have to take the word of paul and bob moore. bob moore wasnt present at every session and i have only known him to say grady played lead guitar on those sessions. There were no accoustic guitars used but 2 lead guitars on some.
@wildcattamergirl Yes,I mean Colin Escott There is a quote there from Burlison 'listen to my guitar on Lonesome Train' which even you say he is not on..BTW the original album has no credits at all just a sleeve note which mentions the trio as it appeared on the Ted Mack show.
again 2 the timing, if u were playing with grady u have a good time keeper as scotty moore said without elvis 2 keep time he struggled. i shall try 2 find the escott interview u speak of as i have no recollection of it. All others and people i have spoken 2 have a very diff story. will get back 2 u.
@wildcattamergirl I'm sorry but Burlison claimed he played all the lead-read the interview with Graham Escott.
He never mentioned or credited Grady Martin.
Martin stated quite clearly that he himself on 'Train Kept a Rollin' as well as everything else at Bradley's.Read the notes to Roughneck Blues the Martin compliation.
Finally use your ears -the distorted guitar is Grady licks and timing.
U guys can pull ur hair out all u like but it wont change the only facts. WE know grady played lead on most and thats not disputed by any 1 sensible. The only facts we have on train and hush come from a guy that was there, paul burlison. The distortion has never been disputed til recently and probably after paul passed away.
If u were sitting in with grady martin don't u think u would keep time with him. Paul played more than once with blues great willie johnson several years b 4 any of this and i don't think he and howlin' wolf would entertain a crap player. Maybe his timing was off a lil but doesnt mean he didnt play along with a man that ketp perfect time. We all know grady was almost untouchable but he never said he played the distortion.
u guys r carazy. all paul has ever said he played on were the distorted train kept a rollin' and honey hush. we know he did play on others and any 1 trying 2 say he didnt is flat wrong as it's a known fact. Obviously it's grady on lonesome train and lead on many others. WE KNOW PAUL SAT BACK ON SOME. the day b 4 train was recorded paul went in 2 a nashville record shop looking 4 material 2 cut the following day. He chose train kept a rollin.
You want 'one song' listen to 'Bird Dog' by Don Woody-intro as per 'Train Kept'a' Rollin' and main riff as per 'Rockabilly Boogie'.There are countless others.
And yes,Grady Martin did state that it was really him on the Burnette sessions-read the notes to the GM anthology cd!!!!!!!!!!!!
@TheSnidge Still...No distortion licks on Don Woody's -"Bird Dog"..The credits say Grady Martin also played on the Nashville cuts..However, G. Martin first distortion licks were on Marty Robbins'-"Don't Worry".(nothin like the trio sound)..G. Martin never took credit for the "distortion" guitar licks on the Trio's cuts...
@dburlison1 The distortion is irrelevant. It is an artefact of the guitar / amp / recording. Anyone could do it, anytime, and never do it again. The important thing is the notes, and the way the notes are phrased says 'Grady Martin'.
You keep saying that there are clearly 2 guitars - you do realise that more than one note can be played at the same time on a guitar, don't you?
@WimBinliner Again, two guitars on many of the Nashville cuts(easy to hear..if you listen)...(There is no distortion on the above song)..There never was any purposeful distortion sound from an electric guitar until Paul Burlison played them on the Nashville cuts--"Train Kept Rollin" and "Honey Hush" (1956)...Some old blues numbers created a distortion sound with old worn our equipment..My dad (Paul Burlison)probably heard the sound playing with Howlin Wolf's ban in the early 1950's..
@wildcattamergirl There are two electric guitars plus an acoustic on those two.
Please reference your source-where can it be seen?
Also listen to 'Bird Dog' by Don Woody on YouTube and then come back and tell me that it's not the same guitar player as 'Train Kept'a' Rollin'-Grady Martin!
hi. i dont know where u get ur info from and i dont buy cd's. session logs bradley film & recording studio 804 16th avenue nash tennessee. july 2nd 3rd paul burlison grady martin. 1st song recorded train kept a rollin'. 2nd blues stay away then paul sat out remainder of session. second session paul played with martin 2nd and 4th numbers honey hush i just found out. owen ran the tech side but henry jerome ran all else and said what went. the bass octives r very simple tho sound otherwise.
@wildcattamergirl Sorry but the log/listing you quoting doesn't say that-it credits Burlison with second guitar only on 'Lonesome Tears' and 'I Just Found Out' but not 'Train Kept 'a 'Rollin' from the July 3rd session and 'Blues Stay Away' from the July 2nd session.
So even by your own reference Burlison was not on 'Honey Hush' or Train Kept a Rollin'.
@wildcattamergirl Grady Martin played all the good stuff with the Rock'n'Roll Trio. I suggest you use your ears rather than read session logs. Burlison's playing was pedestrian on Tear It Up and Oh Baby Babe, naive and with poor timing. There is no way he played on the storming tracks on the Bradley sessions. Burlison wasn't good enough, the Hound Dog footage says it all.
The octave picking, first and sixth string together, is typical Grady and is not easy to pull off with good timing.
this whole thing about burlison is silyl. grady played on thousands of great stuff but u need 2 check the session logs 4 the burnette sessions and u will c burlison was playing with grady on a few things and train - honey hush r 2 of them. no point arguing about it b cause it's acknowledged fact. have a great day.
@wildcattamergirl There are no original logs for the Burnette sessions.You are just looking at the cd booklet or whatever.There was another guitar player with Grady (possibly Hank Garland) but it sure wasn't Burlison.
@TheSnidge So sixty years the the album credits are wrong, while Grady Martin never claimed to be the solo guitarist..and Paul Burlison says he played the distortion licks and Grady Martin never created that sound before or after the Trio Cuts in all his sessions..Again, if your honest you will obviously hear two guitars on 'Train Kept Rollin"..listen to the last cords..1956 single track recording..Paul Burlison's tele also had the lead on "All by myself" and "Honey Hush" cut in Nashville.
@dburlison1 The whole problem started in the mid 60's when the guitar heroes of the day started citing Burlison as an influence.Burlison was on a roller coaster he couldn't get off and played along with the whole myth.All of the seminal guitar on the Nashville sessions is Grady Martin.Paul's standard of playing can be heard and seen on 'Hound Dog' and he sadly was not good enough for Nashville.There are numerous other examples of uncredited session players on famous records-ask Jimmy Page!
@TheSnidge You still haven't answered the question "Where before or after did Grady Martin ever create the distortion guitar licks unique to the Trio cuts?"..Grady Martin did play on The Nashville sessions, but Paul Burlison was there also..Again ..Two guitars on many of the cuts..
@dburlison1 You have been given countless examples of Grady Martin playing with the same sound and style on other records.There are two guitars plus an acoustic on quite a few of the Burnette tracks but they are all in time and synched with the drums.P.Burlison had consistently poor timing on everything we have of him ,records and video.So it's probably not him!. The distortion appears on the alt. take of 'Please Don't Leave Me'-it's Grady Martin.It's also on a Buddy Holly track.
@TheSnidge If the distortion licks are on the "Alt" take of "Please Don't leave Me" ..it was Paul Burlison, My dad claimed to play the distortion licks on the album, and that's good enough for me and anyone who knew him (as the credits state)..Still no specific Buddy Holly track by you..If you look at the credits the Trio actually wrote a number of the songs, and i know for a fact that that the Trio chose the other songs that they covered on the album..
@WimBinliner Not sure on this one(1956 and i wasn't there..were you)..What do the credits say ?..Actually,Two guitars on many of the Nashville cuts...I do know for a fact that my dad (Paul Burlison) did play the distortion licks on the Nashville cuts...And most likely the lead on 'All by myself" .."Honey Hush".. And on a number of the other songs -(again) there are two lead guitars..The couple of country numbers cut in the 1957 session were probably done without my dad..
@dburlison1 No I wasn't there. You acknowledge that your information is hearsay not fact. There's one lead guitar on this and it sounds to me a lot like Where The Rio De Rosa Flows by Jimmie Logsdon, which was played by Grady Martin.
Which Trio recordings do you believe your father played lead on?
@WimBinliner Again, many of the songs cut in Nashville in 1956 have two lead guitars, easy to hear on songs like "Train Kept Rollin", "Rock a Billy Boogie", "Blues stay Away". From knowing my dad's style ( I've heard him play hundreds of times and played the harmonica on a number of shows) ..I believe he played the distortion licks wherever you here it..And he would have had the primary lead on "Honey Hush" and "All by myself"..
@TheSnidge To date you have never cited one "Specific" song where Grady Martin played the distortion guitar licks unique to the Trio's 1956 Nashville sessions--In all of G. Martin's hundreds of studio sessions..He never took credit for them and as the credits state- Paul Burlison and Grady Martin both played on the songs with the distortion licks and anyone with half an ear (and a little honesty)can easily pick up two guitars on those cuts..
hi guys mwaa. its a fact grady played on most of their best but paul played on the classis tear it up and he played the distortion on train kept a rollin' and honey hush. room for all. xox.
@wildcattamergirl Sorry but it's Grady Martin on the two tracks you mention.Check out 'Bird Dog' by Don Woody on YouTube-that's Grady, and is clearly the same guitar player as 'Train Kept A Rollin'.Also 'I'm Coming Home' by Johnny Horton,also Grady and distinctly similar to 'Honey Hush' as is 'Everybody's Tryin To Be My Baby' by the York Brothers which once again is Grady Martin.
If you want to see and hear the original rock guitarist that played the distortion licks on the Trio cuts.(covered by this group and others).Search-Paul Burlison..Go down to-Rock and Roll Trio-Part Three..second song.Train Kept Rollin...then go to the original cut in 1956..Johnny Burnette..Train Kept Rollin
If you want to see and hear the original rock guitarist that played the distortion licks on this song 1956.(covered by this group and others).Search-Paul Burlison..Go down to-Rock and Roll Trio-Part Three..second song..then go to the original cut in 1956..Johnny Burnette..Train Kept Rollin
To listen and see Paul Burlison playing the distortion octaves like he did on the trio cuts..just go to a recent youtube entry//search Paul Burlisonn..go down to "Rock and Roll Trio' P. Burlison playing with DJ Fontana of Elvis fame and the Burnette cousins...
To here and see P. Burlison playing these /distortionoctaves at age 71 ..search youtube Paul Burlison and go down to (Rock and Roll Trio)..Last song playin with the Burnette Brothers and DJ Fontana in Jackson Tn 2000... ck out Lead on " Honey Hush"
@HoboGus Elvis and Johnny Burnett knew each other, since they were 13 years old. They lived in the same housing project and worked at the same electrical company, Crown Electric. That's probably why you see a similarity.
@backthisway Actually the Trio recorded a rockabilly song in 1953 and were playing rockabilly in Memphis and Nashville honkytonks in the early, early 1950's..again two guitars on the classics "Train Kept Rollin" Honey Hush" and "Rock a Billy Boggie"..P.Burlison on the distortion licks...
Before that there was just country music and R'n'B.The Burnette record from '53 that you mention is just a corny country dance tune and to call it rockabilly is ridiculous.
@kustomkultureart You are talking about Rock'n'Roll-you can go back to 'House Of Blue Light' by Ella Mae Morse from 1942 which predates your examples.''Rocket 88' by Jackie Brenston' is R'n'B.
Rockabilly with the slapback sound started with Presley.The precursor is 'Love My Baby' by Junior Parker,also on Sun.
@whest No I am talking about Rockabilly, not R&R, listen to it and you can hear the steel guitar even. Rocket 88 was also done by Bill Haley....not just Ike Turner. Rockabilly doesn't just have the slapback sound either, it may be a piece of the pie but it is just a piece of the pie. Bill Flag anyone?
@porkhandles yea... I've seen it on almost every video of almost every song the trio ever recorded...It's from the movie--"Rock, Rock, Rock" starring Tuesday Weld and Eddie Fischer..
Grady Martin plays lead guitar on this, Paul Burlison is attempting to sync to the original recording. Many of the licks on this track are repeated throughout the rockabilly / hillbilly sessions Grady Martin played on - eg "Everybody's Tryin To Be My Baby" by the York Brothers contains some of the same licks and some of the distorted octave playing that featured on Johnny Burnette recordings .
@porkhandles If you look a johnny he is singing a different song..what wonders you can do on youtube,,,GM did contribute to the trios album, as stated by the credits..However, the classic cuts in Nashville were my dad(P.Burlison) and Grady Martin..a novice hear can pick this up..Also..Distortion..Gm own webpage says he created fuzz tone in 1961,,Nothing like the P Burlisons 1956 licks..
@porkhandles You are correct-there are many other great cuts from the period which positively identify Grady Martin as the great guitar player on the Burnette Nashville sessions.
@porkhandles Good call on the York Brothers-octave playing in the key of E-the last note of the tune is the exact same distortion as Grady used on 'Rockabilly Boogie'.
Another good example is the intro on 'I'm Coming Home' by Johnny Horton where Grady uses a similar pattern to that which he uses on 'Honey Hush' by Burnette.
To the comments taht make the negative innuendos about my dad (P. Burlison)..there was no rockabilly till the trio came to Nashville,,they had played it for years in Mphs honkytonks..GM did play on the album but my dad was also playing on most of the major classics and brought the uniqueness and energy that distinquished rockabilly from comtemporary country at the time..just study the entire works of the trio..then comment..
Grady Martin played on countless rockabilly sessions before Burnette-check out 'Whole Lotta Shakin' and 'Diggin The Boogie' by Roy Hall from 1955 for starters,they are both here on YouTube.If you want more just let me know.
'Rockabilly Boogie' is Grady Martin 100%,same as 'Honey Hush' and the other hot cuts.This track 'Lonesome Train' is Grady too!
@TheSnidge Listen to your two songs..Roy Hall..by the way when was Diggin the Boggie cut..Also still no fuzz tone octaves heard one these two Hall songs..as on the trios 1956 album..keep trying..After listening to "Whole Lot Shakin"..I think my dad(P Burlison) was playing more licks than even I thought on the trio's albums..By the way..what relation are you to Grady Martin..
@dburlison1 NO rockabilly before the rock n roll trio ..errmmm .. Elvis Presley in Sun Studios.. perhaps ???? Mystery Train, Baby lets play house, good rockin tonight .. did you hear of him ? He was quite popular once upon a time .. I think he sold a few records too .. funny thing is the rock n roll trio wasn't a trio most of the time in the studio.
The bass player in this clip is Johnny Black, Bill Black's (Elvis' bassist) brother. He was hired after Dorsey Burnette left the band because they had a quarrel with Johnny.
Also...I challenge anyone to come up with a Grady Martin Song where he dupicated the Fuzz octaves in some of the trios greatest hits"Train kept Rollin" " Honey Hush" etc. on their album...GM own webpage says his first fuzz tones were played on Marty Robbin's hit "Don't worry" listen to GM fuzz tones on Marty Robbin's 1961song..the trios album was cut in 1956..single track
The "Hound dog" live was an attempt to focus on johnnie as was done with Elvis.They wanted to win..Ck out my dad's live performance on "Tear it Up"
The trio spent almost a year playin rockbilly in NY , Playing rockbilly on Henry Jeromes Nat'l radio show before the Nashville session..No rockbilly in Nashville til the trio arrived in summer 56...The raw,upbeat arrangements were my dad's
Paul Burlison's Son Here... 50 years plus after the recording an after my father's death in 2003...now some want to say Grady Martin played lead guitar..That's Paul Burlison in The video and Paul Burlison on the Coral record credits...the artist in NY and Nashville where the album was recorded new nothing of Rock n Roll...This was the early ,early days of rock..My dad wrote this song and played the lead.plane and simple..
There's a website that does a pretty good job of proving that Grady Martin did most of the lead guitar work on the Rockabilly Trio records. Try Googling Grady Martin and Paul Burlison and see what comes up... I was a skeptic too.
@tedygarl Also...I challenge anyone to come up with a Grady Martin Song where he dupicated the Fuzz octaves in some of the trios greatest hits.Train kept rollin" Honey Hush" "rock a bilie boogie" on their album...GM own webpage says his first fuzz tones were played on Marty Robbin's hit "Don't worry" listen to GM fuzz tones on Marty Robbin's 1961song..the trios album was cut in 1956..single track
@ekleinbrink Two guitars on many of the Nashville cuts.. Paul Burlison playing the distortion octaves on "Train Kept Rollin" and "Honey Hush".. Grady Martin the non-distortion...Just listen to the last few cords..1956 single tract-..two guitars..G.Martin never created the distortion licks on the Trio's album before or after the Nashville session in all his many cuts...
That's Paul Burlison playing electric in this video as well as on their studio cuts as he was their lead/electric guitarist. Referring to the notes in the Johnny Burnette Trio release issued by the incredible reissue label Bear Family, Grady Martin is credited on only 5 of the 25 cuts the band recorded, and only then as rhythm guitarist. He's not listed as being present on the other tracks.
Check out Burlison's 1997 release 'Train Kept A-Rollin'". It's terrific.
I won't get into an argument here, but 'Roughneck Blues' only has two Johnny Burnette Trio cuts ("Rockbilly Boogie" and "The Train Kept A-Rollin'"), so he most likely played lead - uncredited - on those tracks. That leaves the question as to who played lead guitar on the remaining 23 cuts as the group only recorded 25 songs. Grady played rhythm on 5 of them, so even if Grady Martin played lead on "Rockbilly" and "Train," it's quite possible Burlison played lead on most of the others.
Alright, I believe it's Martin on the Johnny Burnette Trio cuts. I'll definetely be purchasing 'Roughneck Blues'. However, I still think Burlison is a great player....
When you buy a CD and you read the sleeve notes you automatically think its the truth. If you dont have any other source of information, you believe the sleeve notes. I cant get this Paul Burlison out of my head. He must be the one playing with Johnny Burnette. Who is Grady Martin. I never heard of him and i`ve been reading a lot of Rock and Roll History. But this leaves me wondering??? Who is playing guitar along Johhny Burnette?? Does anyone know for sure?? Where can I get proof?????
Grady Martin alongside Hank Garland were staff guitarists at Owen Bradley's studio in Nashville - they played on everything recorded there including the Burnette stuff - the exception was for Gene Vincent's first 2 LP's - Cliff Gallup was more than good enough to do the job. Because they were session guitarists - they never got credited. Go to Amazon and get the Grady Martin CD 'ROUGHNECK BLUES' - it's a compilation of his sessions with different artists, including Burnette.
If you google a guy named Vince Gordon, he has a very well written site dedicated to rockabilly. He is also the guitarist and singer for a band called the Jime (they have some vids on youtube). He did some investigating himself and concluded that Grady Martin played most of the really cool Johnny Burnette studio stuff, but Paul Burlison was Johnny Burnette's touring guitarist. Which helps to explain how Lonesome Train sounds so fat; Grady Martin didn't use an Esquire! Check out Vince Gordon.
Grady Martin played with Elvis, in the studio that is, in the early sixties after Hank Garland's car crash left him unable to play. He played on 'Devil In Disguise', among others.
So what are you saying??? Didnt Paul Burlison play?? I got the CD Johnny Burnette and the Rock `N` Roll Trio and in the sleeve notes it says that Paul Burlison plays, with an amp thats got a loose tube in it. That`s how he got that sound. I know a lot of Rock and Roll history but about this Ì really dont know. I`ve never heard about Grady Martin. All i know is that the sleeve notes says Paul Burlison. Who is it?? How can I know for sure??? Is the sleeve notes lying???
Newspapers lie too. If it fits an easy agenda, then the old Burlison story comes out again - whilst it's not exactly international espionage, the guy let the fib continue until his death. He was on the first recordings in New York - compare the playing on those ('oh baby babe', 'tear it up') and the material recorded at Nashville 3 months later - either he practiced like a maniac, or it's session guitarist Grady Martin. Check the live 'Hound Dog' clip to see the true Burlison; not great.......
Johnny is great. Youtube search for DISCO 45 and VIVA EL ROCK AND ROLL (Manuel Vargas) and you will see an honoring from Chile to the best music of all times.
Classic performence.Original recorded at the new york sessions. At the nashville sessions Grady Martin for the most played lead guitar instead of Paul.
I'm pretty sure that this footage is from the film ROCK ROCK ROCK : 1957. I used to look after a copy of it on 35mm when I was a projectionist 20 years ago... great stuff
Rhino Records used to carry this stuff on VHS as of a few years ago. I have a few of them, hosted by Mamie Van Doren, including the completely hokey Ed Wood movie, "The Violent Years."
Hi Hammerheadssn663. The bass player is Johnny Black (Elvis's Basssplayers brother). He is filling in for Dorsey Burnette who left the band after falling out with his brother Johnny Burnette. Johnny Black is left handed and trying to mime to the record using a right handed strung bass, while at the same time trying not actually play any notes (they were filming a scene for a movie)
Great fan of Johnny but if you dig this check out the Pirates' version in the 70's with the greatest R&B guitarist bar none- Mick Green. You'll thank me if you haven't seen 'em. They always said that the R&R Trio was their inspiration.
1992..the audience was aged betewwn 12 and 65 and they all ROCKED..Mick Green had a heart attack recently and luckily someone knew what to do to save him !
Paul Burlison made rockabilly. As important as Buddy Holly in the tone department. I found a double LP of every song they made including alternate takes. He smoked them all. My favorite band of the 50s.
He wasn't playing on 90% of the Burnette material (including this track) - it was Nashville session guy Grady Martin.
Go and compare Burlison's crude tinny sounding playing on the NY sessions (oh baby babe and tear it up) then compare with the later stuff like 'rockabilly boogie' 'rock therapy' 'please don't leave me' - you think that's the same guitarist? Nah. It's Grady Martin.
Check Don Woody... Bird Dog too...almost exactly the same guitar line and solo from Sweet love on my mind and your baby blue eyes...whoever it is it is for sure the same guy...and it isn't Burlison.
He cant mime for shit.

Hi. My dad has the original album i believe his dad gave it to him. The sound on the original album is fantastic and all these newer issues are tame in comparison. It's a fact that the sessions are widely discussed these days and we have to take the word of paul and bob moore. bob moore wasnt present at every session and i have only known him to say grady played lead guitar on those sessions. There were no accoustic guitars used but 2 lead guitars on some.

hi. i dont know where u get ur info from and i dont buy cd's. session logs bradley film & recording studio 804 16th avenue nash tennessee. july 2nd 3rd paul burlison grady martin. 1st song recorded train kept a rollin'. 2nd blues stay away then paul sat out remainder of session. second session paul played with martin 2nd and 4th numbers honey hush i just found out. owen ran the tech side but henry jerome ran all else and said what went. the bass octives r very simple tho sound otherwise.
wildcattamergirl 6 months ago
@wildcattamergirl Sorry but the log/listing you quoting doesn't say that-it credits Burlison with second guitar only on 'Lonesome Tears' and 'I Just Found Out' but not 'Train Kept 'a 'Rollin' from the July 3rd session and 'Blues Stay Away' from the July 2nd session.
So even by your own reference Burlison was not on 'Honey Hush' or Train Kept a Rollin'.
TheSnidge 6 months ago
@wildcattamergirl Grady Martin played all the good stuff with the Rock'n'Roll Trio. I suggest you use your ears rather than read session logs. Burlison's playing was pedestrian on Tear It Up and Oh Baby Babe, naive and with poor timing. There is no way he played on the storming tracks on the Bradley sessions. Burlison wasn't good enough, the Hound Dog footage says it all.
The octave picking, first and sixth string together, is typical Grady and is not easy to pull off with good timing.
WimBinliner 6 months ago
this whole thing about burlison is silyl. grady played on thousands of great stuff but u need 2 check the session logs 4 the burnette sessions and u will c burlison was playing with grady on a few things and train - honey hush r 2 of them. no point arguing about it b cause it's acknowledged fact. have a great day.

@wildcattamergirl There are no original logs for the Burnette sessions.You are just looking at the cd booklet or whatever.There was another guitar player with Grady (possibly Hank Garland) but it sure wasn't Burlison.
Over and out!
TheSnidge 6 months ago
@TheSnidge So sixty years the the album credits are wrong, while Grady Martin never claimed to be the solo guitarist..and Paul Burlison says he played the distortion licks and Grady Martin never created that sound before or after the Trio Cuts in all his sessions..Again, if your honest you will obviously hear two guitars on 'Train Kept Rollin"..listen to the last cords..1956 single track recording..Paul Burlison's tele also had the lead on "All by myself" and "Honey Hush" cut in Nashville.
dburlison1 5 months ago
@dburlison1 The whole problem started in the mid 60's when the guitar heroes of the day started citing Burlison as an influence.Burlison was on a roller coaster he couldn't get off and played along with the whole myth.All of the seminal guitar on the Nashville sessions is Grady Martin.Paul's standard of playing can be heard and seen on 'Hound Dog' and he sadly was not good enough for Nashville.There are numerous other examples of uncredited session players on famous records-ask Jimmy Page!
TheSnidge 5 months ago
@TheSnidge You still haven't answered the question "Where before or after did Grady Martin ever create the distortion guitar licks unique to the Trio cuts?"..Grady Martin did play on The Nashville sessions, but Paul Burlison was there also..Again ..Two guitars on many of the cuts..
dburlison1 5 months ago
@dburlison1 You have been given countless examples of Grady Martin playing with the same sound and style on other records.There are two guitars plus an acoustic on quite a few of the Burnette tracks but they are all in time and synched with the drums.P.Burlison had consistently poor timing on everything we have of him ,records and video.So it's probably not him!. The distortion appears on the alt. take of 'Please Don't Leave Me'-it's Grady Martin.It's also on a Buddy Holly track.
TheSnidge 5 months ago
@TheSnidge If the distortion licks are on the "Alt" take of "Please Don't leave Me" ..it was Paul Burlison, My dad claimed to play the distortion licks on the album, and that's good enough for me and anyone who knew him (as the credits state)..Still no specific Buddy Holly track by you..If you look at the credits the Trio actually wrote a number of the songs, and i know for a fact that that the Trio chose the other songs that they covered on the album..

And on a number of the other songs -(again) there are two lead guitars..The couple of country numbers cut in the 1957 session were probably done without my dad..
dburlison1 5 months ago
@dburlison1 No I wasn't there. You acknowledge that your information is hearsay not fact. There's one lead guitar on this and it sounds to me a lot like Where The Rio De Rosa Flows by Jimmie Logsdon, which was played by Grady Martin.
Which Trio recordings do you believe your father played lead on?
WimBinliner 5 months ago
@WimBinliner Again, many of the songs cut in Nashville in 1956 have two lead guitars, easy to hear on songs like "Train Kept Rollin", "Rock a Billy Boogie", "Blues stay Away". From knowing my dad's style ( I've heard him play hundreds of times and played the harmonica on a number of shows) ..I believe he played the distortion licks wherever you here it..And he would have had the primary lead on "Honey Hush" and "All by myself"..
dburlison1 5 months ago
@dburlison1 I'm sorry but don't know anything 'for a fact'.
It is simply hearsay repeating the story P.Burlison told.
The so called distortion guitar is Grady Martin as is all the other lead work.
The lead on 'Honey Hush' and 'Train Kept 'a' Rollin' is typical Martin licks and timekeeping.
If you look at the video tape P. Burlison made you will see that he did not know how to play the stuff he took credit for.
TheSnidge 5 months ago
@TheSnidge To date you have never cited one "Specific" song where Grady Martin played the distortion guitar licks unique to the Trio's 1956 Nashville sessions--In all of G. Martin's hundreds of studio sessions..He never took credit for them and as the credits state- Paul Burlison and Grady Martin both played on the songs with the distortion licks and anyone with half an ear (and a little honesty)can easily pick up two guitars on those cuts..

@wildcattamergirl Sorry but it's Grady Martin on the two tracks you mention.Check out 'Bird Dog' by Don Woody on YouTube-that's Grady, and is clearly the same guitar player as 'Train Kept A Rollin'.Also 'I'm Coming Home' by Johnny Horton,also Grady and distinctly similar to 'Honey Hush' as is 'Everybody's Tryin To Be My Baby' by the York Brothers which once again is Grady Martin.

Grady Martin plays lead guitar on this, Paul Burlison is attempting to sync to the original recording. Many of the licks on this track are repeated throughout the rockabilly / hillbilly sessions Grady Martin played on - eg "Everybody's Tryin To Be My Baby" by the York Brothers contains some of the same licks and some of the distorted octave playing that featured on Johnny Burnette recordings .
porkhandles 1 year ago
@porkhandles If you look a johnny he is singing a different song..what wonders you can do on youtube,,,GM did contribute to the trios album, as stated by the credits..However, the classic cuts in Nashville were my dad(P.Burlison) and Grady Martin..a novice hear can pick this up..Also..Distortion..Gm own webpage says he created fuzz tone in 1961,,Nothing like the P Burlisons 1956 licks..
dburlison1 1 year ago
@porkhandles You are correct-there are many other great cuts from the period which positively identify Grady Martin as the great guitar player on the Burnette Nashville sessions.
TheSnidge 1 year ago
@porkhandles Good call on the York Brothers-octave playing in the key of E-the last note of the tune is the exact same distortion as Grady used on 'Rockabilly Boogie'.
Another good example is the intro on 'I'm Coming Home' by Johnny Horton where Grady uses a similar pattern to that which he uses on 'Honey Hush' by Burnette.
TheSnidge 1 year ago
To the comments taht make the negative innuendos about my dad (P. Burlison)..there was no rockabilly till the trio came to Nashville,,they had played it for years in Mphs honkytonks..GM did play on the album but my dad was also playing on most of the major classics and brought the uniqueness and energy that distinquished rockabilly from comtemporary country at the time..just study the entire works of the trio..then comment..

@dburlison1 You are talking nonsense as usual!
Grady Martin played on countless rockabilly sessions before Burnette-check out 'Whole Lotta Shakin' and 'Diggin The Boogie' by Roy Hall from 1955 for starters,they are both here on YouTube.If you want more just let me know.
'Rockabilly Boogie' is Grady Martin 100%,same as 'Honey Hush' and the other hot cuts.This track 'Lonesome Train' is Grady too!

That's Paul Burlison playing electric in this video as well as on their studio cuts as he was their lead/electric guitarist. Referring to the notes in the Johnny Burnette Trio release issued by the incredible reissue label Bear Family, Grady Martin is credited on only 5 of the 25 cuts the band recorded, and only then as rhythm guitarist. He's not listed as being present on the other tracks.
Check out Burlison's 1997 release 'Train Kept A-Rollin'". It's terrific.
BluesPerson 3 years ago
I won't get into an argument here, but 'Roughneck Blues' only has two Johnny Burnette Trio cuts ("Rockbilly Boogie" and "The Train Kept A-Rollin'"), so he most likely played lead - uncredited - on those tracks. That leaves the question as to who played lead guitar on the remaining 23 cuts as the group only recorded 25 songs. Grady played rhythm on 5 of them, so even if Grady Martin played lead on "Rockbilly" and "Train," it's quite possible Burlison played lead on most of the others.
BluesPerson 3 years ago
Alright, I believe it's Martin on the Johnny Burnette Trio cuts. I'll definetely be purchasing 'Roughneck Blues'. However, I still think Burlison is a great player....

But this leaves me wondering??? Who is playing guitar along Johhny Burnette?? Does anyone know for sure?? Where can I get proof?????
Raggarn74 3 years ago
Grady Martin alongside Hank Garland were staff guitarists at Owen Bradley's studio in Nashville - they played on everything recorded there including the Burnette stuff - the exception was for Gene Vincent's first 2 LP's - Cliff Gallup was more than good enough to do the job. Because they were session guitarists - they never got credited. Go to Amazon and get the Grady Martin CD 'ROUGHNECK BLUES' - it's a compilation of his sessions with different artists, including Burnette.
twangalot2 3 years ago
If you google a guy named Vince Gordon, he has a very well written site dedicated to rockabilly. He is also the guitarist and singer for a band called the Jime (they have some vids on youtube). He did some investigating himself and concluded that Grady Martin played most of the really cool Johnny Burnette studio stuff, but Paul Burlison was Johnny Burnette's touring guitarist. Which helps to explain how Lonesome Train sounds so fat; Grady Martin didn't use an Esquire! Check out Vince Gordon.

How can I know for sure??? Is the sleeve notes lying???
Raggarn74 3 years ago
Newspapers lie too. If it fits an easy agenda, then the old Burlison story comes out again - whilst it's not exactly international espionage, the guy let the fib continue until his death. He was on the first recordings in New York - compare the playing on those ('oh baby babe', 'tear it up') and the material recorded at Nashville 3 months later - either he practiced like a maniac, or it's session guitarist Grady Martin. Check the live 'Hound Dog' clip to see the true Burlison; not great.......

Wonderful. In Chile, Johnny was a hit (You're sixteen and Dreamin, 1961).
Youtube search MANUEL VARGAS (DISCO 45 and VIVA EL ROCK AND ROLL). There is an honoring to music of that era.

I thought it was Bill Black's brother (Johnny) on bass

Johnny Black wasn't in the "Trio" until Dorsey had left.

I think Johnny filled it because his brother BILL was sick during the filming.

Paul Burlison made rockabilly. As important as Buddy Holly in the tone department. I found a double LP of every song they made including alternate takes. He smoked them all. My favorite band of the 50s.

He wasn't playing on 90% of the Burnette material (including this track) - it was Nashville session guy Grady Martin.
Go and compare Burlison's crude tinny sounding playing on the NY sessions (oh baby babe and tear it up) then compare with the later stuff like 'rockabilly boogie' 'rock therapy' 'please don't leave me' - you think that's the same guitarist? Nah. It's Grady Martin.

I keep hearing that argument. I keep listening to Johnny Horton and trying to m,ake the comparison between Burlison and Martin.

Check Don Woody... Bird Dog too...almost exactly the same guitar line and solo from Sweet love on my mind and your baby blue eyes...whoever it is it is for sure the same guy...and it isn't Burlison.
