Rock was named for him!, December 11, 2007
This review is from: Tear It Up (Audio CD)
Did you know that there was rockabilly before there was rock and roll? Rockabilly was named after the kind of music that the Dorsette brothers started. They would have a performance and most nights there was a fight because the crowd got so worked up by the hard driving edge of the Dorsette brothers music. Rocky and Billy Burnette started it all and this record will give you a great taste of the artist, Rocky Burnette who had a whole genre named after him! Before Elvis, before anyone else you care to name there was Rocky Burnette. Here is his music that will show you what rock really is and where it came from. Rocky wrote the music too which is important. That just wasn't done then but it shows how brilliant Rocky and his brother Billy were. Their songs were covered by Ricky Nelson, and even the Beatles as seen on the BBC recording. This rockin' record will Tear It Up and get you moving to see where rock and roll came from: Rocky Burnette!
