Chanteur Rockabilly US, né
Jonathan Burnette, le 12
Juin 1953 à Memphis
(Tennessee). Rocky Burnette est le fils de
Johnny Burnette.
The son of
legendary rock & roll pioneer Johnny
Burnette, Rocky Burnette followed in his father's musical footsteps, playing
rowdy, high-energy rockabilly that dovetailed nicely with the early-'80s revival
of the style. Born in Memphis in 1953, Burnette debuted in 1979 with the EMI
America album Son of Rock'n'Roll (around the same time his cousin
Billy began recording straight
country for Columbia). The following summer, his single "Tired of Toein' the
Line" became a Top Ten smash, predating success stories by the likes of
the Stray Cats and the Cramps; the song
was also quite popular internationally, establishing an overseas fan base for
Burnette that would endure for quite some time. However, EMI America's financial
difficulties scuttled promotion efforts for the follow-up singles (several of
which became hits in other countries), and Burnette's second album, Heart
Stopper, got lost in the shuffle. In 1981, Burnette toured Europe with the final
version of his late father's Rock & Roll
Trio; Burnette also used the band on his next album, Get Hot or Go Home!,
which was issued on Enigma. Unfortunately, it met with little commercial
response and Enigma chose to drop Burnette and
the Trio rather than release their
more country flavored follow-up. Burnette began to resurface in the mid-'90s,
working with Rosie Flores and Dwight
Twilley, and also contributing Vocals and the original "Trouble Is I'm in Love
With You" to ex-Trio guitarist Paul
Burlison's 1997 solo album Train Kept A-Rollin'. In 1996, Burnette finally
issued another album, Tear It Up; unfortunately, the label, Core, went bankrupt
almost immediately after its release. Undaunted, Burnette kept up his
international tours, and supplied soulster Percy Sledge with a European hit with
"You Got Away With Love" in 1997.
