Billy Burnette CD

First time on CD for Billy Burnette’s rawest, edgiest album.
Singer-songwriter-guitarist Dorsey William Burnette III is literally the ‘Billy’ in rockabilly.
Billy’s father and uncle, Dorsey and Johnny Burnette, respectively, led the Memphis-based Rock ’n Roll Trio that helped pioneer rock 'n' roll and influenced Elvis Presley.
The Trio combined the names of Billy and his cousin Rocky for the classic “Rockbilly Boogie”, thus making the term rockabilly a household name.
Energy leaps from every track on Billy Burnette’s eponymous 1980 album, originally issued on Columbia Records.
Billy Burnette had been recording for nearly two decades, since he was a child, but he’d never made a set that rocked as lethally hard as this one.
Columbia unleashed the LP with an eye-catching red-neon-on-black cover, the set giving Burnette his first hit single with the galloping Don’t Say No.
