The 1980 Listening Post - Billy Burnette - Billy Burnette

Billy Burnette - Billy Burnette 


September 1980

Billy Burnette

Billy Burnette

Genre: Legacy Rockabilly

2.25 out of 5



Highlights:

Sittin’ On Ready



Billy sang on a Ricky Nelson tune when he was 7. His family comes from the old school of rock and roll. And here he is giving us some pub rocking 1-4-5 that isn’t very electric or original. 

He later played with Mick Fleetwood and backed up Lindsey Buckingham. 

Yeah, this sounds like the album a backup band would put out. 

When he gets going “Rockin’ in LA” he sounds like he can’t keep up with the band.

This album has too many songs that replace a “g” with an apostrophe. Stop it. 

Points off!
