With his brother Dorsey (on bass part) and guitarist Paul Burlison forming his Rock 'N Roll Trio, he recorded a clutch bag of singles for Decca in 1956 and 1957 that achieved zippo more than regional succeeder. Featuring the groundbreaking ceremony fuzzed tone of voice of Burlison's guitar, Johnny's energetic vocals, and Dorsey's slapping bass voice, these recordings -- highlighted by the first home tilt & roll version of "Train Kept a-Rollin'" -- compare well to the classical Sun rockabilly of the same geologic era. The trio disbanded in 1957, and Johnny institute bug out success as a adolescent paragon in the early '60s with hits like "You're Sixteen" and "Dreamin'." Burnette died in a yachting chance event in 1964. His brother, Dorsey, achieved modest success as a solo act in the other '60s, and Burlison latterly resurfaced as a member of the Sun Rhythm Section. |
