Back in the early days of Elvis Presley and Carl Perkins,

there was only one band that was tearing it up

and that was The Burnette Trio out of Memphis.

I remember they had everybody so excited that

you couldn't even get in to see them.

We know now that what they were playing was

the absolute roots of Rock'n Roll.

- Ronnie Hawkins, 1982
