Johnny Burnette Rock 'n' Roll Trio • Honey Hush CD
The Johnny Burnette Rock 'n' Roll Trio were among the true pioneers of Rockabilly, creating a raw, exciting sound that still feels astonishingly fresh today. Formed by brothers Johnny and Dorsey Burnette with guitarist Paul Burlison, the trio blended Country, Rhythm & Blues and unbridled Rock 'n' Roll into a style that would influence generations of musicians, from the British Beat boom to the Rockabilly revival and beyond.
Honey Hush gathers together twenty-six of the trio's essential recordings, including genre-defining classics such as Train Kept A Rollin', Rock Billy Boogie, Honey Hush, Lonesome Train, Tear It Up and Drinking Wine Spo-Dee-O-Dee. Every performance crackles with energy, driven by Johnny Burnette's powerful vocals and Paul Burlison's pioneering distorted guitar sound, widely regarded as one of the earliest examples of guitar distortion ever committed to record.
Whether you're discovering the Johnny Burnette Rock 'n' Roll Trio for the first time or replacing a well-loved favourite, Honey Hush is an essential collection from one of the most influential groups in Rock 'n' Roll history. No serious Rockabilly collection is complete without it.
