Rocky Burnette
The Son Of Rock and Roll CD

First-ever CD issue of Billy Burnette's 1979 debut album, remastered from the original tapes.
The Son Of Rock and Roll features the top 10 smash single Tired of Toein’ The Line which reached #8 in the USA and hit #1 in Australia.
Two bonus tracks have been added for this CD released - non album B-side Boogie Down In Mobile Alabama plus the previously unreleased cover of Sam Cooke’s Shake. 
Liner notes are by Bill Dahl and include new interview material.
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.
