Johnny Burnette - Crazy Date: Rock And Roll Demos Volume 1Norton Records,2007
LAME -V0 (vbr)
Includes: Front cover, m3u playlist, nfo
One of the pioneers of rockabilly, Johnny Burnette and his brother Dorsey formed The Rock And Roll Trio along with Paul Burlison. He never found a whole lot of real success with that group, but would later on in the early sixties after meeting Ricky Nelson, but as a teenage heartthrob instead of a wild country rocker. Even most of his rockabilly songs are all love oriented, but they're still pretty frantic at times (remember, these are all songs from the early fifties).
Unfortunately, even the fame he did gain didn't last long - in 1964 while fishing late at night, he was struck by a cabin boat and he was ejected from his boat and subsequently drowned.
