Seldom has an album title rung as true as The Son of Rock and Roll.
Rocky Burnette grew up around the music from day one.
His father was rockabilly hell-raiser Johnny Burnette, who’s mid-’50s sides for the Coral label as front man for the Memphis-based Rock ’n Roll Trio helped pioneer the genre.
Uncle Dorsey Burnette, no slouch as a singer himself, was that ferocious crew’s bass slapper.
Thus, Rocky learned from the best in the business.
