Bob Luman, Ricky
Nelson et
Elvis Presley. Guitariste de session réputé, il est devenu l'un des requins de Nashville. James Burton a enregistré quelques instrumentaux pour Miramar, Capitol et A.M. Records. Avec plus de trente années de carrière, on espère que James racontera un jour ses souvenirs.

Born in
Minden, LA, on August 21, 1939, influential guitarist James Burton got his start
in the 1950s as a backup musician on the radio show Louisiana Hayride, where he
met Dale Hawkins.
Hawkins' 1957 hit, "Suzie Q," was the
first in a string of successes to feature the young Burton. A six-year stint
(1958-1964) recording and touring in Ricky
Nelson's band followed, subsequently landing him a couple of cameo bits on
Ozzie & Harriet. Because of his brilliant and unique guitar skills — he
perfected a style he dubbed "chicken pickin'" — Burton quickly landed jobs as a
side musician for a diverse cast including: Buffalo Springfield, the Monkees,
Elvis Presley's band (from 1969 until
Presley's death in 1977),
Gram Parsons, Joni Mitchell, Judy
Collins, John Denver,
Buck Owens, and
Merle Haggard (with the latter two he
was an important catalyst in the fine-tuning of the Bakersfield sound). He later
lent his talents to several Elvis Costello recordings as well as those by
Gillian Welch, Jimmie Dale
Gilmore, and countless others. With this schedule, it is no surprise that
Burton has only cut two records of his own over a 40-year career; both his 1969
debut, Corn Pickin' and Slick Slidin', and his 1971 offering, The
Guitar Sounds of James Burton, provide spotlights on his legendary pickin'.
