James Burton and The LeRoi Brothers with Earle Poole Ball on keys (and Clara Reed on the stage monitor) do "Susie Q." Dale Hawkins wrote the lyrics and James Burton wrote the lick (at the age of 14). This version was performed at the Continental Club in Austin, Texas on Saturday night, October 3, 2009.
James Burton wrote this song when he was only 14 years old! Just saw him say it in an interview on Create TV. So cool.
