Actually two guitars on this one G. Martin and Paul Burlison..Paul Burlison-one of the first rock guitarist to use a fuzz/distortion guitar... as he did here..
No color tv, no computers, no cell phones, no cd's, (not even cassettes yet), no ipods, no ipads, no mp3's, but music was REAL COOL not like the "music" the teenagers listen today!!!
@Gatorrock787 In Moscow, Russian Federation. No rockin' music here, no democracy, no smilin' faces, no cool stuff.. but amazingly a lot of pretty women : )
@ahbbuddha Thank you for the great comment. The answer is as follows -
All the Johnny Burnette clips are him singing Lonesome Train from the film Rock Rock Rock. That's also the source for Tuesday Weld and her co star kissing.
The leggy lovelies are dancing to Bill Haley singing Hot Dog Buddy Buddy from the movie Don't Knock the Rock. From the same movie you have the girl putting the record on at the begining.
@ahbbuddha The couple dancing - pretty blonde and athletic chap - are dancing to Razzle Dazzle by Bill Haley - this was an added bonus tagged on to the end of Don't Knock The Rock and I have no idea what movie it's from. Some of the other dancers are also from this clip.
The original version of the song was recorded in 1951 by Tiny Bradshaw who co-wrote it along with Lois Mann & Howard Kay. Aerosmith got their version from The Yardbirds. I would be willing to bet that Jeff Beck was a fan of Johnny Burnette.
This will always be the best version (Aerosmith's blows, in my opinion). This is the first song Led Zeppelin ever performed when they got together in a rehearsal space. Word has it, it was in the same vein as this version. What I wouldn't give to have been able to hear that!
I assume that the fella sayin' that the Aerosmith version of this is "better" is either high or, uh, "special in the head". WTF? Johnny Burnette is THE EFFEN SH*T!!! Thanks for the post!!! -Briana, not Brian

this is soo cool, and i can tell its true what i read, you guys realize that this is one of the first recordings to ever use distortion on guitar, i read it was accidental but you can tell in the solo the guitar is dirty the same with rocket 88 by Link Wray with acts like this i think rock and roll evolved i mean the beginnings of fuzz, distortion overdrive
@reflectwhatyouare689 "rocket 88" was by ike turner's kings of rhythm (misnamed on the label as jackie brenston and his delta cats), interestingly enough it was recorded at the memphis recording service, later to be known as sun records, but was released on chicago's "chess" label. link wray's most famous contribution to fuzz guitar (and there are many that he did) is his first record, "rumble".
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..
wow! this is what rock n roll should be about. the stones and aerosmith should learn from this. power ballads are the teen idols of rock, rockabilly is the punk rock before the beatles. more that fifty years ago these cats were swinging around the galaxy and today we get teen idols (gaga broad, beaver boy, american idolless)
thank you, thank you, thank you for making this video. love it! i second the motion about why were mid-60's bands who 'watered-down' rockabilly were so much more popular than the raw, visceral, more vibrant original artists?
@1955RodHot wow thanks for such a terrific comment! Although born in the mid sixties, my musical taste is for just about everything before that time and very little after.
Glad you like my video. It was the second one I made - about a year ago - and I think it's one of my best (maybe the best)
The is the best music video in the history of the world! Johnny's unhinged wild man version of "Train" is much better than Tiny Bradshaw's original. Even the mighty Yardbird's can't even top this version. Johnny Burnette makes them sound like Herman's Hermits.

Hot damn, thats good. I've watched it about twenty times now...I can't get enough of the shorty-short chickies doin' the hippy-shake thing. God bless you, Sir.
@CrooningRick you're welcome, thanks for your comment. It's one of my favourite rockabilly tracks too. This video was the second one I made and still one of my favourites
The ''ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME" serves WHAT purpose?How DEL SHANNON was put in something like TEN YEARS after frankie valli is beyond any logic.Don't know if Johnny is in yet.He should have been in since the 80s.I don't ever bother to check anymore.If it weren't for Brian Setzer,they'd have been too stupid to put in Eddie Cochran probobly.
Good job baldyal.I have a video I rigged the image with song:"Tear It Up" and I have a hard time, but I miss him with great affection to Johnny Burnette In Memoriam
@backthisway If you research the Trio's biography..The Trio was playing hillybop(rockabilly)in 1953,,and cut a record in a small studio in Boonevile, Ms and played regular gigs around Memphis and Nashville..1953-1956.
Regardless in early 1956 there was only a couple of rock(rockabilly) groups in the world.
@dburlison1@dburlison1 This is not correct-in early 1956 there was a mass migration by country groups into rock'n'roll.
The early Burnette record you cite was a country tune with no rock components.
The genesis of rockabilly was 'Love My Baby' by Junior Parker on Sun.
This was the inspiration for Presley's guitar player.It was Presley who started the bandwagon.In 1956 the record companies signed hundreds of rock hopefuls-Burnette had the good fortune to record with Grady Martin.
@TheSnidge The migration is true After the Trio was on prime time TV in April of 1956..And six other times in 1956....And had played hillbilly bop(rockabilly) at many gigs in Memphis and Nashville beginning in 1956..Ck their biography..
@dburlison1 The trio were in no way a catalyst for the Rock boom-countless acts were signed up ahead of them and the Trio records did nothing.
It was only in the 60's when guitarists like Jeff Beck started naming those records that the legend started.
The guitar heroes of that time quickly realised that Burlison could not have played those cuts,particularly after they met him and realised he couldn't play any of his own stuff.
The truth that it was really Grady Martin has gone viral now,
@TheSnidge The fuzz/ distortion octaves throughout is Paul Burlisom..Gm never created this sound before or after the trio's cuts..See GM's webpage first fuzz 1961
P.Burlison,s son here...When a guy spends two days crucifying my dad and all after said and done and he doesn't even know who Stevie Ray Vaughan is...(now I know why my dad said get a law degree and stay away from the entertainment business)
@dburlison1 Never said anything bad bout you dad, never said theres anything wrong with Fender guitars. The whole thing is about who played gtr on them Burnette sessions in july ´56...and yes, I´m not familiar with Vaughan...his playing is not relevant for what we are talking about here..thats a different era. I could probably put you a long list of guitarists that you never heard of, but theres no point in doing so... Any comments on "Please Don´t Leave Me" (alt)? now what do you say?
By the way..I think my dad would want me to acknowledge Howlin Wolf who my dad pay with on his West-Mphs radios broadcast..A big influence on my dad as a teenager.. My dad learned a lot from Howlin..Before his later days success my dad said he would come into the studios after working in the cotton fields with the toes cut out of his shoes.. evidently, he had large feet...
One more thing..Johnny Burnette and Dorsey( my eternal brother) were also great on this song..Both great,truly talented artist, as are their sons...The bottom line..it was just one of those classics where everyone on the cut was jamming plus...shame it was before its time...but all works to the best...
P Burlison..An honest admission.I just listen to this song again..I know my dad's play..this song may be the first rock in roll classic duo guitar lead..My dad on the deeper Fuzz tone octives..lead in the middle..Grady..a true pro.. throughout with my dad on the more treble octiives..a novice ear can see there are two leads in this 56 single tract..
P Burlison..An honest admission.I just listen to this song again..I know my dad's play..this song may be the first rock in roll classic duo guitar lead..My dad on the deeper Fuzz tone octives..lead in the middle..Grady..a true pro.. throughout with my dad on the more treble octiives..a novice ear can see there are two leads in this 56 single tract..Hone Hush..Mostly my dad
Paul Burlison's son here...Almost a year before the recording the trio lived in NY and played every day on Henry Jerome's Nat'l radio show....Rockabilly..and long before that in Mphs honkytonks..my dad picked out the slower moving Tiny Bradsahaw song in a used Nashville bookstore..before this Nasville never heard of rockbilly
@dburlison1 Nashville never heard of Rockabilly? maybe they didnt know about "Rockabilly" beacuse the term wasnt very common for a musical style at that time. but the same guys (Grady Martin / leadgtr, Bobby Moore / bass, Buddy Harman / drums) that backed up Johnny and Dorsey Burnette during their first nashville sessions july 2-5, 1956 did sessions with Johnny Carroll earlier that year. The record "Wild Wild Women" came out in june ´56, so it was probably recorded in may 56´. Lord they knew :-)
@kennyboiwilliams Sure after hearing the trio and Elvis on national TV in early 1956.The trio was on national TV (prime time) seven times in 1956..Ted Mack (4)
American Bandstand,Perry Como and the Steve Allen Tonight Show..what other rockabilly group appeared on National TV over two times in 1956..How many times did GM appear on National TV in 1956.. Again-are you related to GM (third time asked)
@dburlison1 Martin regulary appeared on ABC´s "OZARK JUBILLEE" hosted by Red Foley, for one....of course, all of that is more on the country side, but thats what he was. Since the late 40s he was busy as a studio musician, so he knew the scene inside out, they knew what was popular and in demand and he was among the first ones to adjust his playing to the new streams whenever needed. When Coral needed to present their "own" Elvis in 56, they knew exactly who to call...0800 - GRADYMARTIN
@kennyboiwilliams Your right..that's what GM was before the trio (P.Burlison) walked into the studio summer 56...Country...Coral did not know who GM was in 56..They called on Owen Bradley the producer/engineer in Nashville..GM's boss
@kennyboiwilliams ..If that is Grady Martin playing on Johnny Carroll's-Wild, Wild Women"...then I encourage anyone to listen to the Carrol recording to hear what Grady Martin rockabilly guitar sounded like when P. Burlison was not in the studio..After listening myself, I'm thinking Gm had very little play time on the trio's
@dburlison1 Pardon me, you must be completely out of your mind!! Coral didnt know about Grady Martin????? HE WAS AMONG THE MOST SOUGHT-AFTER SESSION PLAYERS SINCE THE 40s!! Your Dad Paul Burlison played on the New York Session at Pythian Temple on march 7, 1956 engineered by Bob Thiele. Thats where he can easily be identfied playing his white guard Esquire thru a Fender deluxe. there ain´t no Fender guitar sound on the July ´56 sessions and in march 57 Burlison and Dorsey had left the band.
@kennyboiwilliams You still haven't explained how GM came up with the fuzz/distortion unique to the trio's albums...Thiele emphatically wanted my dad to play the high tenor notes in the NY recordings..In Nashville -completely different sound due to new studio/producer/engineer.etc..If what you say is true about the 57 sessions,just listen to the 1957 sessions-mediocre country tunes..nothing like the high energy rockabilly cuts in the 1956 cuts(again 1956 single track)
@dburlison1 There ain´t no "fuzz" and I´m tired of talking about it. It´s just a little bit of distortion, there aint no special effect or whatever.
About Thiele in New York: Your Dad got exactly the sound you would expect from a Fender Esquire played through a Deluxe amp at low volume, crystal clear and thin. Thats the gear he used.
Martin probably used his Magnatone amp or Bradley´s Standel amp on the July ´56 Burnette sessions. Thats helluva difference in sound!
@kennyboiwilliams For 1956-- "just a little bit of distortion"...You might want to listen to "Honey Hush" again...Regardless, GM never created the trios "little distortion" before or after the trio's sessions unless P. Burlison was in the studio...Gm's own webpage says his first attempt was in 1961..M Robbins- "Don't Worry" ..nothing like the trio distortion
@kennyboiwilliams As to the fender...I guess you think Stevie Ray Vaughn never got much out of a fender.(he actually used my dad's fenders on one of his last recordings in Memphis).....My dad specifically told me the NY producer had him turn his tenor control as high as he could , hoping for a unique sound and also explaining why the Nashville sounds are different..
@whest Not a guitar player .(Lawyer).I do play a decent harmonica..but the producer wanted the highest notes he could on the fender guitar and amp..in the NY sessions
@dburlison1 Dont know about Vaughn, who is this cat???
Of course, the nashville sounds differ from the NY sounds but thats just because there was no fender guitar anywhere around the Quonset Hut , not in July ´56, and thats why there aint no fender guitar on the nashville tapes. All I can hear is a Bigsby guitar. Martin played it since 1952 and this guitar can be heard on countless recordings, sometimes dry, sometimes up front, in the back, echo/reverb or not...
@kennyboiwilliams Let's see -Jerry Reed,Buck Owens,Merle Haggard are just a few country folks that plyed fenders..Steve Ray Vaughan is just a freind of my dad you probably never heard of,,,who played a fender.. good guitar player though...
Paul Burlison's son here...My dad played the lead here..Grady Martin had a few licks toward the end..My dad picked out this song(Tiny Bradshaw slower jass tune) in a use record store in Nashville.. Before the session in Nashville the trio lived almost a year in NY and played rock a billy everyday (Henry Jerome's radio show)..In the summer of 56 ..the first time Grady Martin heard rockbilly was from my dad..
@dburlison1 Thanks for clearing that up dburlison1 and thanks for watching and commenting on my video - I hope you like it. I have listened to and loved the Johnny Burnette rock 'n' roll trio for many years and, to be honest, I never knew who the guitarist was (at one point I thought it was Dorsey Burnette), When whest made his comment I just took it for granted that he was right because he named two guitarists.
@whest As far as my comments..you will notice I admit that "train Kept A Rolin" was actually two leads//P. Burlison's(my dad) and Grady Martin.(56 single track).My dad playing the deeper fuzz tone octaves..GM the treble licks..On "Honey Hush" the lead is mostly my dad on the fuzz tone octaves..Don Woody's "Bird dog" is merely GM playing his classic treble leads with a bass guitar..No Fuzz tones as you here on the trios..also recorded on year after the trio's cuts..
@whest Also my dad never said in any interview that Grady Martin did not play on the trio's classic (he obviously did not play on the NY Sessions) the album credits produced by Grady Martin's long time friend and boss-Owen Bradley-clearly mention Grady Martin..the two classics "Train kept Rollin" "Honey Hush"..were Gm and my dad as commented upon..Tear it up..O Baby Babe--only my dad(NY)
@backthisway Actually the Trio began playing rockabilly on Natioanal prime time TV in 1956..3 times a winners on the Ted Mack Show(April-May 1956) and four other times in 1956...In April of 1956 not many rockabillers..country yes..
@dburlison1 errmm Elvis recorded the sun recordings in 1954 55 .. rockabilly !! JB version of hound dog we can see is not really rockabilly ... Grady Martins playing and sound is what MADE Burnettes songs like Sweet Love, Lonbseome Train, All By Myself etc .. I will list them individually for anyone interested.
Wow pure sexual energy

@backthisway If you research the Trio's biography..The Trio was playing hillybop(rockabilly)in 1953,,and cut a record in a small studio in Boonevile, Ms and played regular gigs around Memphis and Nashville..1953-1956.
Regardless in early 1956 there was only a couple of rock(rockabilly) groups in the world.
dburlison1 1 year ago
@dburlison1 @dburlison1 This is not correct-in early 1956 there was a mass migration by country groups into rock'n'roll.
The early Burnette record you cite was a country tune with no rock components.
The genesis of rockabilly was 'Love My Baby' by Junior Parker on Sun.
This was the inspiration for Presley's guitar player.It was Presley who started the bandwagon.In 1956 the record companies signed hundreds of rock hopefuls-Burnette had the good fortune to record with Grady Martin.

@TheSnidge The migration is true After the Trio was on prime time TV in April of 1956..And six other times in 1956....And had played hillbilly bop(rockabilly) at many gigs in Memphis and Nashville beginning in 1956..Ck their biography..
dburlison1 1 year ago
@dburlison1 The trio were in no way a catalyst for the Rock boom-countless acts were signed up ahead of them and the Trio records did nothing.
It was only in the 60's when guitarists like Jeff Beck started naming those records that the legend started.
The guitar heroes of that time quickly realised that Burlison could not have played those cuts,particularly after they met him and realised he couldn't play any of his own stuff.
The truth that it was really Grady Martin has gone viral now,

The guitar on this track is by Grady Martin-not Paul Burlison.
Google Burlison Martin for details.

@TheSnidge Actually two guitars..A Paul Burlison and Grady Martin..Easy to hear

@dburlison1 There is possibly another giuitar on the last verse-an overdub maybe.
The ferocious lead guitar which dominates this track is by Grady Martin.

@TheSnidge The fuzz/ distortion octaves throughout is Paul Burlisom..Gm never created this sound before or after the trio's cuts..See GM's webpage first fuzz 1961

P.Burlison,s son here...When a guy spends two days crucifying my dad and all after said and done and he doesn't even know who Stevie Ray Vaughan is...(now I know why my dad said get a law degree and stay away from the entertainment business)
dburlison1 1 year ago
@dburlison1 Never said anything bad bout you dad, never said theres anything wrong with Fender guitars. The whole thing is about who played gtr on them Burnette sessions in july ´56...and yes, I´m not familiar with Vaughan...his playing is not relevant for what we are talking about here..thats a different era. I could probably put you a long list of guitarists that you never heard of, but theres no point in doing so... Any comments on "Please Don´t Leave Me" (alt)? now what do you say?

@dburlison. Thanks for your wonderful history. Your Dad was a great musician and Rock and Roll just wouldn't have been the same without him.

By the way..I think my dad would want me to acknowledge Howlin Wolf who my dad pay with on his West-Mphs radios broadcast..A big influence on my dad as a teenager.. My dad learned a lot from Howlin..Before his later days success my dad said he would come into the studios after working in the cotton fields with the toes cut out of his shoes.. evidently, he had large feet...
dburlison1 1 year ago
One more thing..Johnny Burnette and Dorsey( my eternal brother) were also great on this song..Both great,truly talented artist, as are their sons...The bottom line..it was just one of those classics where everyone on the cut was jamming plus...shame it was before its time...but all works to the best...
dburlison1 1 year ago
P Burlison..An honest admission.I just listen to this song again..I know my dad's play..this song may be the first rock in roll classic duo guitar lead..My dad on the deeper Fuzz tone octives..lead in the middle..Grady..a true pro.. throughout with my dad on the more treble octiives..a novice ear can see there are two leads in this 56 single tract..

Paul Burlison's son here...Almost a year before the recording the trio lived in NY and played every day on Henry Jerome's Nat'l radio show....Rockabilly..and long before that in Mphs honkytonks..my dad picked out the slower moving Tiny Bradsahaw song in a used Nashville bookstore..before this Nasville never heard of rockbilly
dburlison1 1 year ago
@dburlison1 Nashville never heard of Rockabilly? maybe they didnt know about "Rockabilly" beacuse the term wasnt very common for a musical style at that time. but the same guys (Grady Martin / leadgtr, Bobby Moore / bass, Buddy Harman / drums) that backed up Johnny and Dorsey Burnette during their first nashville sessions july 2-5, 1956 did sessions with Johnny Carroll earlier that year. The record "Wild Wild Women" came out in june ´56, so it was probably recorded in may 56´. Lord they knew :-)

@kennyboiwilliams Sure after hearing the trio and Elvis on national TV in early 1956.The trio was on national TV (prime time) seven times in 1956..Ted Mack (4)
American Bandstand,Perry Como and the Steve Allen Tonight Show..what other rockabilly group appeared on National TV over two times in 1956..How many times did GM appear on National TV in 1956.. Again-are you related to GM (third time asked)
dburlison1 1 year ago
@dburlison1 Martin regulary appeared on ABC´s "OZARK JUBILLEE" hosted by Red Foley, for one....of course, all of that is more on the country side, but thats what he was. Since the late 40s he was busy as a studio musician, so he knew the scene inside out, they knew what was popular and in demand and he was among the first ones to adjust his playing to the new streams whenever needed. When Coral needed to present their "own" Elvis in 56, they knew exactly who to call...0800 - GRADYMARTIN
kennyboiwilliams 1 year ago
@kennyboiwilliams Your right..that's what GM was before the trio (P.Burlison) walked into the studio summer 56...Country...Coral did not know who GM was in 56..They called on Owen Bradley the producer/engineer in Nashville..GM's boss
dburlison1 1 year ago
@kennyboiwilliams ..If that is Grady Martin playing on Johnny Carroll's-Wild, Wild Women"...then I encourage anyone to listen to the Carrol recording to hear what Grady Martin rockabilly guitar sounded like when P. Burlison was not in the studio..After listening myself, I'm thinking Gm had very little play time on the trio's
dburlison1 1 year ago
@dburlison1 Pardon me, you must be completely out of your mind!! Coral didnt know about Grady Martin????? HE WAS AMONG THE MOST SOUGHT-AFTER SESSION PLAYERS SINCE THE 40s!! Your Dad Paul Burlison played on the New York Session at Pythian Temple on march 7, 1956 engineered by Bob Thiele. Thats where he can easily be identfied playing his white guard Esquire thru a Fender deluxe. there ain´t no Fender guitar sound on the July ´56 sessions and in march 57 Burlison and Dorsey had left the band.
kennyboiwilliams 1 year ago
@kennyboiwilliams You still haven't explained how GM came up with the fuzz/distortion unique to the trio's albums...Thiele emphatically wanted my dad to play the high tenor notes in the NY recordings..In Nashville -completely different sound due to new studio/producer/engineer.etc..If what you say is true about the 57 sessions,just listen to the 1957 sessions-mediocre country tunes..nothing like the high energy rockabilly cuts in the 1956 cuts(again 1956 single track)
dburlison1 1 year ago
@dburlison1 There ain´t no "fuzz" and I´m tired of talking about it. It´s just a little bit of distortion, there aint no special effect or whatever.
About Thiele in New York: Your Dad got exactly the sound you would expect from a Fender Esquire played through a Deluxe amp at low volume, crystal clear and thin. Thats the gear he used.
Martin probably used his Magnatone amp or Bradley´s Standel amp on the July ´56 Burnette sessions. Thats helluva difference in sound!
kennyboiwilliams 1 year ago
@kennyboiwilliams For 1956-- "just a little bit of distortion"...You might want to listen to "Honey Hush" again...Regardless, GM never created the trios "little distortion" before or after the trio's sessions unless P. Burlison was in the studio...Gm's own webpage says his first attempt was in 1961..M Robbins- "Don't Worry" ..nothing like the trio distortion
dburlison1 1 year ago
@kennyboiwilliams As to the fender...I guess you think Stevie Ray Vaughn never got much out of a fender.(he actually used my dad's fenders on one of his last recordings in Memphis).....My dad specifically told me the NY producer had him turn his tenor control as high as he could , hoping for a unique sound and also explaining why the Nashville sounds are different..
dburlison1 1 year ago
@dburlison1 What you talkin about 'tenor control'?
Ain't no such thing!

@whest Not a guitar player .(Lawyer).I do play a decent harmonica..but the producer wanted the highest notes he could on the fender guitar and amp..in the NY sessions
dburlison1 1 year ago
@dburlison1 I'm a harmonica player too!-played at pro level since mid sixties,have many credits live and on record.
You mean treble control.

@whest Harmonica..I'm sure you have hear of Sonny Terry with Brownie McGhee.
They could do more with an acoustical harmonica and guitar than most bands can do with a multitude of modern electronics..
dburlison1 1 year ago
@dburlison1 Dont know about Vaughn, who is this cat???
Of course, the nashville sounds differ from the NY sounds but thats just because there was no fender guitar anywhere around the Quonset Hut , not in July ´56, and thats why there aint no fender guitar on the nashville tapes. All I can hear is a Bigsby guitar. Martin played it since 1952 and this guitar can be heard on countless recordings, sometimes dry, sometimes up front, in the back, echo/reverb or not...
THE BIGSBY SOUND IS ALWAYS THERE
kennyboiwilliams 1 year ago
@kennyboiwilliams Let's see -Jerry Reed,Buck Owens,Merle Haggard are just a few country folks that plyed fenders..Steve Ray Vaughan is just a freind of my dad you probably never heard of,,,who played a fender.. good guitar player though...
dburlison1 1 year ago
Paul Burlison's son here...My dad played the lead here..Grady Martin had a few licks toward the end..My dad picked out this song(Tiny Bradshaw slower jass tune) in a use record store in Nashville.. Before the session in Nashville the trio lived almost a year in NY and played rock a billy everyday (Henry Jerome's radio show)..In the summer of 56 ..the first time Grady Martin heard rockbilly was from my dad..
dburlison1 1 year ago
@dburlison1 Thanks for clearing that up dburlison1 and thanks for watching and commenting on my video - I hope you like it. I have listened to and loved the Johnny Burnette rock 'n' roll trio for many years and, to be honest, I never knew who the guitarist was (at one point I thought it was Dorsey Burnette), When whest made his comment I just took it for granted that he was right because he named two guitarists.
baldyal 1 year ago
@dburlison1 'Grady Martin had a vfew licks toward the end'
Really?
This is all Grady Martin-Burlison ain't on it!
Anyone who doubts this need only listen to 'Bird Dog' by Don Woody on YouTube.
There is no fuzz tone,just distortion on the bottom string when Grady hits it.
Both men are dead now -thanks to Coral Records Burlison got the credit for Martin's work and he took it.
The truth won't hurt anyone now.

@whest As far as my comments..you will notice I admit that "train Kept A Rolin" was actually two leads//P. Burlison's(my dad) and Grady Martin.(56 single track).My dad playing the deeper fuzz tone octaves..GM the treble licks..On "Honey Hush" the lead is mostly my dad on the fuzz tone octaves..Don Woody's "Bird dog" is merely GM playing his classic treble leads with a bass guitar..No Fuzz tones as you here on the trios..also recorded on year after the trio's cuts..
dburlison1 1 year ago
@whest Also my dad never said in any interview that Grady Martin did not play on the trio's classic (he obviously did not play on the NY Sessions) the album credits produced by Grady Martin's long time friend and boss-Owen Bradley-clearly mention Grady Martin..the two classics "Train kept Rollin" "Honey Hush"..were Gm and my dad as commented upon..Tear it up..O Baby Babe--only my dad(NY)

@dburlison1 Grady was playing rockabilly licks on live TV long before he met Paul Burlison. Look at Red Foley live TV shows.

@backthisway Actually the Trio began playing rockabilly on Natioanal prime time TV in 1956..3 times a winners on the Ted Mack Show(April-May 1956) and four other times in 1956...In April of 1956 not many rockabillers..country yes..
dburlison1 1 year ago
@dburlison1 errmm Elvis recorded the sun recordings in 1954 55 .. rockabilly !! JB version of hound dog we can see is not really rockabilly ... Grady Martins playing and sound is what MADE Burnettes songs like Sweet Love, Lonbseome Train, All By Myself etc .. I will list them individually for anyone interested.
