Album Description
Import reissue of 1971 album for artist revered by rock & roll fans for his lead guitar work with Ricky Nelson & Elvis Presley. Considered one of the most influential country players in history.

Comment: The Guitar Sounds of James Burton My ONLY disappointment with this CD is as great a guitarist as James was when he recorded this (1970) he's even better now! It's still very much worth owning at twice the price.

Summary: Keep Lookin' 2007-08-01
Comment: This album is VERY DATED! He is an excellent guitarist, a legend, but this release doesn't capture his abilities as other recordings have. The story is that Elvis Presley didn't show up for a recording session. However, they had the players and the session time already booked, so they had Burton make this album instead. He had no preparation time.
If you are an all-out Burton fan then maybe this belongs in your collection. (But only as a curiosity). Otherwise, keep lookin!

Comment: Im sorry James after being a hugh fan from Rick Nelson days I found this album a disappointment not only was the recording a little flat in its overall sound but the playing very un uninspireing, almost like James was not playing from the heart a bit like when some musio,s back artist,s reading charts that they are not familiar with it also has that 70,s plastickey sound ,,so sorry James not your best.

Summary: Just Terrible!! 2007-03-08
Comment: James Burton is a great guitar player. When he is playing behind someone else. This album is just just too cheesy. A waste of money.

Comment: James Burton is one of the most important Country/rock guitarist. This collection falls short of his work with Ricky Nelson and Elvis.
As the consumate sideman, he's unapproachable. This is not his best work, but it is a must for serious fans.
