Hey Abraham, you are a real cool cat! Cool

How sweet is that Esquire that Burlison is playing? His playing is raw and a little reckless---the way I like my rockabilly. I read where he said he accidentally discovered his fuzz sound (The Train Kept a Rollin') by dropping his amp and knocking a tube loose. So after that when he wanted that sound, he'd loosen that tube.

Very Happy Thanks man. BTW way your name man? I don't even know it. Isn't that a Broadcaster? His guitar. That's cool about that "Fuzz" thing, Alot of cool things happen by accident 8). Glad you liked the video. Who wouldn't like this stuff. If you don't like this then there's something wrong with you Razz I still gotta get "Rockabilly Boogie" tho Cool

one of my favorite JBT tunes.

Smile Zak that Alley Dukes shit is pretty damm good man Thumbs Up "If This Ain't Rockabilly" very cool, I love that outro. And "American Nightmare" I think its cool that you guys did that one. I always wanted to here some band cover that one ever since I was in the 10th grade and into all that shit. Great Lead work.

Has any one here ever heard the Rocking Bones box set? Its very cool and I recommend it. My personal favorite is "Love Me" by The Phantom. http://www.amazon.com/Rockin-Bones-1950s-Punk-Rockabilly/dp/B000FOQ0JG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1220237782&sr=1-1

There's an interesting article about that here: http://www.the-jime.dk/Rockabilly_Guitar/Johnny_Burnette_The_Rock-n-Roll_Trio.htm

Wow, "interesting" is an understatement! That is one impressive (and persuasive) bit of investigation and analysis. As someone who enjoys listening to 50's/60s country music, I know that when I'm listening to the likes of Marty Robbins or Patsy Cline, I am often hearing the chameleon like skills of Grady Martin---certainly "El Paso" perhaps his best known---but so many others. He deserves all the credit due him. I doubt the facts re: JBT will ever catch up to the public perception, though. I hope so, but it sure puts a dent in Burlison's legacy.

Speaking of Grady Martin and "fuzz", there is a Marty Robbins track I have called "Don't Worry (About Me) that still has some of the nastiest fuzz I've heard. It was recorded and played by Grady around 1960! edit: I found it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pd4rxVwdIM&feature=related
1:30 into the song.

(Oh yeah, Abraham, my name is Scott. It would be a good idea to put that in my signature too.)
