20 of the premium rockabilly tracks recorded by the legendary Johnny Burnette & The Rock N Roll Trio, Includes the iconic The Train Kept A Rollin covered by many artists such as The Yardbirds , Led Zeppelin.
Brothers Johnny Burnette and Dorsey Burnette were close friends of Elvis on the Memphis rockabilly scene of the mid 1950s. Johnny Burnette and Dorsey B were the original wild men of rock. Scotty Moore Elviss guitarist booked them for a few dates, but had to drop them they were so inclined to get into fights on stage, and with the audience.
Johnny Burnettes biggest hits were with the teen pop of Dreamin and Youre Sixteen, but it was the work with the Rock N Roll Trio no more than a clutch of recordings, that only achieved regional success at the time- that carved him a place in rock history,all of which are included here. JB AND Dorsey were also great songwriters, and penned some of Ricky Nelsons best tunes (Believe What You Say, Its Late).
