Hank C. Burnette - "'57 Chevrolet"

Another outing from that infamous '97 session that brought life to no less than 62 tracks in just one month!! I must've ran out of ideas when I cut this one as it's a pretty simple tune, but yet again with a pretty heavy Cash type backing, which I seem to prefer in a country song when I think
about it. I first heard an excellent vocal version of this one by country songstress Billie Jo Spears (I even think she had a hit with it) and that's most likely what triggered me to record it! The title, "´57 Chevrolet", might seem a bit out of place at first until you hear the vocal version of it.
My first impression of it, when I saw the title, was that it obviously was headed towards a country rock type of thing, which it isn't. But if you get a chance to hear Billie Jo's original (?) it all falls together quite neatly! Anyway, here's my humble instru version of it, with a Charvel HM axe taken the front seat (!!) and a Paisley Tele for the 'do-whacka-do' rhythm.

Great Stuff!!! How is Frosty + will we be seeing him anytime soon??

[burnette44]

Thanks very much for the kind comment!

As far as Frosty is concerned I'm afraid I

havn't got any direct control over that as he

don't belong to me. Have to ask his owners for an eventual 'comeback'. Have

you checked the two other Frosty vids I

have on my channel? Holy cow, that bird

is something else, you just gotta love him!

Take care & have a great week! Hank C.

Unbelievable. Hank Burnette you bring back memories of a long lost youth. I've been a grandfather for some years and when I wake in the morning something aches somewhere, always, but I was young, and energetic, once, and your music reminds me of what it was like to be able to dance all night, even if I looked like an idiot while doing so, and not worry about having no money for anything afterwards.

Thank you.
