About James Burton
James Burton has played on countless #1 recordings, and created some of the most influential guitar riffs in popular music. Named one of the Top 20 Guitarists of All Time by Rolling Stone, Elvis Costello says that Burton is one of a few players who musicians almost always call "legendary," and Pete Townsend says that Burton is probably the most important guitar player in American music. In 1953, at age 14, Burton recorded "Susie Q" with Dale Hawkins. Burton wrote the music and Hawkins wrote the lyrics. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame includes "Susie Q" in the 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. In addition to Rick Nelson (1958-1965) and Elvis Presley (1969-1977), top entertainers have sought his services for studio recordings and live performances. They include: Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Brad Paisley, Elvis Costello, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison, John Denver, The Beach Boys, The Everly Brothers, Frank Sinatra, Nancy Sinatra, Dean Martin, Emmylou Harris, George Jones, Gram Parson, Albert Lee, Chet Atkins, Travis Tritt, Ray Charles, Sonny and Cher, Herb Alpert, Simon and Garfunkel, The Righteous Brothers, The Mamas and The Papas, Johnny Rivers, Andy Williams, Judy Collins, Linda Ronstadt, The Monkees, and many others.
