First time on CD worldwide / Billy Burnette's rawest, edgiest rockabilly on record / Former member of Fleetwood Mac / Digitally remastered by Vic Anesini.

Singer-songwriter-guitarist Dorsey William Burnette III is literally the 'Billy' in 'rockabilly.' Billy's father and uncle, Dorsey and Johnny Burnette, respectively, led the Memphis-based Rock 'n Roll Trio that helped pioneer rock & roll and influenced Elvis Presley.

The Trio combined the names of Billy and his cousin Rocky for the 1953 "Rockabilly Boogie"-thus making the term rockabilly a household name.

Sky-high energy leaps from every track on Billy Burnette's eponymous 1980 album for Columbia Records.

Burnette had been recording for nearly two decades-since he was a child-but he'd never made a set that rocked as lethally hard as this one.

Columbia unleashed the walloping LP with an eye-catching red-neon-on-black cover, the set giving Burnette his first hit single with the galloping "Don't Say No."
