About the artist

Johnny Burnette

Johnny Burnette may not have achieved the same level of fame as some of his rockabilly peers like Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis, but his impact on the genre is undeniable. With his signature pompadour hairstyle and rebellious attitude, Burnette burst onto the scene in the 1950s with hits like "Train Kept A-Rollin'" and "Dreamin'". His raw, energetic vocal delivery and infectious guitar playing set him apart from the pack and solidified his status as a true rock and roll original. Despite his tragically short career, Burnette's influence can still be heard in the music of artists like the Stray Cats and Brian Setzer. Whether you're a die-hard rockabilly fan or just curious to learn more about the roots of rock and roll, Johnny Burnette is a name you need to know. So grab your leather jacket, crank up the volume, and let Burnette's rebellious spirit take you on a wild ride through the golden age of rockabilly. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
