This still sounds wild and unhinged in 2021. Difficult to imagine how far out it must've sounded in 1956. The Trio, to me, are and always will be the absolute epitome of rockabilly.
I love this type of music
Paul Burilson is one of the greatest guitar players of all time!!!!!
This stuff rocks hard. I go crazy every time I hear this song.
The wildest song of mid-50s
Reading Jimmy Page's top 5 musicians brought me here!!
Knew Burnette would be special !! 😄
This is why Rock and Roll was so feared by so many when it happened ...Great !
I was 12 when this song came out in 1956. Couldn’t wait to buy the 45 rpm and played it over and over. My older sister and her boyfriend took me to see them and others perform outside somewhere outside of Baltimore. Lived out in the county at the time. For some reason woke up this morning and this song jumped in my head. Just found this on ZT. It still rocks just as much as I thought it did!!!
I can only imagine how rowdy and rockin this must've sounded in '56. It still sounds just as mean and dangerous now.
12 in 56? I thought I was the elder Here!! LOL
@@warehousestaff3929 Yup Born in 1944 Hope I'm not the oldest here LOL
Great tune hands down …..I was 13 when it hit the airways… still love it
Wow!! I was born in 57. Never too old to rock and roll, never too old to die .Rock On
😂😂😂😂
Love this track even know I was born in the 80s.the rock and roll from the 50s and 60s was amazing,so many great bands and artists.
That Geritol sign in the background really makes it! This song is a true cure for "iron-poor tired blood!"
my thoughts exactly !
My grandfather owned the company that manufactured Geritol
Just ask Lawrence Welk .
@@maxsno my grandfather sponsored Mr. Welk’s show for decades.
@@drinkklaus I wonder what he thought of Betty Page !?!
One of thee greatest rockabilly songs of all time. An anthem.
I wouldn’t really classify this as ‘rockabilly’ IMO. I think a better classification for this would be ‘proto-hard-rock’. It sounds like it was made in 1966, not 1956 lol
@@tilltanky5367 Are you serious ??? That's a notorious fact - this is rockabilly.
if not the greatest of all time
Didn‘t they invent Rock a Billy?
@@SewjeeElvis 1954. in Memphis?
This shows how hard they rocked way back in the 1950's!
Back when being a musician was so important to our growth as a species.
Crazy this came out in the 50s! Should have way more recognition.
In 1956, on the same day that this song was recorded, Elvis recorded "Hound Dog"
@@markmmv dang, yeah that makes sense. Still, I find Train Kept a Rollin way more progressive than “Hound Dog”
@@dannyhernandez265 The parents who hated Elvis would've been even more appalled by this.
@@Furry67 if only they could’ve seen how music turned out now. They would’ve been appalled.
This song--and Link Wray's "Rumble"--were the spark that ignited the following decades of rebellious rock styles ranging from hard rock, metal, punk, hardcore, and thrash!
One more song to check out if you haven't is Space Guitar by Johnny Guitar Watson is absolutely dirty.
Mostly by adding dirt to guitar....hearing that, some people try to reproduce ...pedal appears....thanks to you, 50’s folk. You also have mister Bo Diddley with his famous beat...rhaaa love it
Aww. J
Jimmy Page credits Rumble as being the kickstarter for his guitar playing. BTW HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIMMY 1/9/44
@@jerrykibbe6363 He and Jeff Beck did a mean "Train Kept a Rollin", too!
Man has this been covered. Pure Rockabilly Rock & Roll.
motorhead covered it on their first album
Shakin Stevens and the Sunsets have a great version, very true to this.
@@Dave-Rough-Diamond-Dunn Aerosmith covered it, too. And the music was used by Foghat, for their song "Honey Hush."
@@danielcobbins8861 I don't really like the Aerosmith version. I haven't heard the Foghat song, I'll look it up. 👍
@@Dave-Rough-Diamond-Dunn "Honey Hush," is found on Foghat's 1974 album "Energized."
As much a I love the YB and Aerosmith's versions. This is the Heaviest grittiest of them all .
Heard Motorhead's yet...?
Agreed!
@@l.salisbury1253 absolutely! Love it. But the fact that this came out in the 50’s. That duel octave guitar is so gritty compared to anything at that time.
The late great Paul Burlison at work!

This is the cradle of Rock n Roll...born right here. Radical and hard hitting...Rockabilly turns the corner toward rock n roll
Story I heard was that when they were playing live and thrashing their instruments and bringing the sound levels to the edge of distortion,the crowd went wild.
The band and sound engineers noticed this and then they played everything just to the edge of distortion just before the sound decays.Pure rock n roll chaos.
Twenty six years later Jesus and Mary Chain used the same technique in their live shows.
'Let's rock again now.'
Gene Vincent.
"The Train Kept A Rollin'" was originally recorded in Oct. 1951 by American rhythm and blues musician Tiny Bradshaw, originally performed in the style of a jump blues.
Johnny Burnette and the Rock and Roll Trio made an important contribution to it in 1956 by rearranging it into rock'n'roll, a model recorded in May 1965 by Screaming Lord Sutch by transforming it into wild rock, the author of the guitar solo is Ritchie Blackmore. In September 1965, the Yardbirds recorded it with Jeff Beck's mythical arrangement.
After guitarist Jimmy Page joined the band, the Yardbirds recorded an edited version with new lyrics for Antonioni's film "Blow Up" under the title "Stroll on". With a boosted rhythm section and a Beck/Page dual lead guitar attack, he is considered a precursor of heavy metal.
When the Yardbirds broke up in 1968, "Train Kept A-Rollin'" was adopted as the concert opener by Jimmy Page's new band, Led Zeppelin, during its early years on tour. They never recorded a studio version.
The vast majority of rock fans know "Train Kept a-Rollin'" from Aerosmith's terrific 1974 version on their second album, Get Your Wings, and its permanent place in their live set for the past 35 years.
"TRAIN KEPT A-ROLLIN" IS THE GREATEST ROCK'N'ROLL SONG OF ALL TIME. !! And that's all.
The grandpappie of Heavy Metal. Undoubtedly.
I’m so sick of these high fallooting whippersnappers with their big pants!
More like Punk.
WRONG PAL OLD ROCK AND ROLL
The best rock-a-billy of all time.
I disagree. The best rockabilly hasn't been heard for years.
Best Rocknroll riff of all time!
@@plymouth491 this was recorded many years ago
You got that right!
This is the ROCKABILLY performance we need to remember! You have to be my age to appreciate the 'fill-in' shots of iconic model BETTY PAIGE. Including her focuses on the 'teenage male hormones' ROCKABILLY MUSIC energized. Her 'moves' seem to be synchronized to the music.
Great music!
Hilarious that the Geritol sign is for such high energy music. Perfect sponsor 😅
What was in it? Vitamins and caffeine?
Very sad. His life was cut short age 31 in Boating accident at Clear Lake CA.
And that’s how it all started people...in and around Memphis TN.
This is superb! " Rockabilly-Punk"! Awsome!!!
This video captures the full spirit of the 1950s. Real vintage rock and roll, steam engine trains, Betty Paige and Geritol. I wish I could go back and stay there!
Still the best version I have heard of this song
the Original
@@RavenThom Tiny Bradshaw 1951
@@dazthemod69yArdbiRds kicks it too
yArdbiRds did a great version, recorded by Sam Phillips, vocals added later
Pure rock and a lot of swing, it's really fantastic for those years! I still like very much...🎸
That was raw for the period it was released! Love it!!
RIP the three members of The Rock and Roll Trio
Paul Burlison (February 4, 1929 - September 27, 2003), aged 74
Dorsey Burnette (December 28, 1932 - August 19, 1979), aged 46
Johnny Burnette (March 25, 1934 - August 14, 1964), aged 30
You will be remembered as legends.
RIP. They could have taught Elvis a thing or two about Rock n Roll.
Was there a regular drummer?
@@petermills542 A studio guy stayed behind for the session. No credit is given.
Burnette died on my actual birthday
@@nk8633 for sure Elvis coulda taken lesson Not Scotty Moore though. Or DJ Fontaine Elvis to me was only rocking on his Sun records. After that army stint and crappy films he was lame. A real pretty voice but consigned to a life in Vegas. His 1968 tv comeback was good but that was it. Maybe if he had written like Chuck or Buddy Holly(god) he would have been better. I still love his early stuff like Robert Johnson’s Milkcow blues. And Mystery Train and the two leads Scotty plays in Heartbreak Hotel make the song for me. The second one is like a locomotive busting a barn door. Lol. Rock on.
🎵 WOW, Rockabilly will never die !! 🎸🎸
A fantastic Performance by
JB...; These is best Version
I ever heard!
Johnny Burnette Trio ... One of the Wildest Rock'a'Billy Bands ever...
a remarkable record......sounds more raw and fresher than anything that's out there - whatever year you happen to listen to it
Yup! It's so sad . There is nothing that matches that sound ....we have advanced so much . and lost so much ...
What a kick ass rendition. This song has to make you feel better.
Great bonus - the clips of Betty Page!!
I am from Australia born 1964 and I never heard of this guy and this song before.
That solo and Bettie Page at the same time is enough to cause me to pass out from loss of blood flow to the brain.
My thoughts exactly, Guy. What a combo.
Guy Fawkes Me Too...
I'm sorry, Betty Page can't come to the phone right now, she's tied up...
Tied up in more ways than we know ; )
Check out Rocket 88 by Ike Turner/Jackie Brenston if you want to see Bettie Page put her clothes ON!
You hear Thomas Grady Martin on Guitar, Bob Moore on Bass and Buddy M. Harman on drums.
The Nashville A-Team.
Paul P. plays on Tear it up.
I‘m sure you feel the diffrence.
Music and Trains - the PERFECT combination!!!
Billy idol suggested Johnny, so I'm here. I'm not disappointed.
Johnny Burnette Raw classic 1950s Rockabilly at its best pure class 3 piece band Dorsey his brother on the Double bass couldn't get anybody better Johnny Burnetteoverlooked but to me one of the best RocknRollers of all time🎼🎵🎶🎸one of My favourite RocknRollers classic Boppin music I always get up to Johnny Burnettetracks I am a Teddy Boy 🎼🎵🎶🎸👏
JUST PURE ROCKABILY MAGIC,,👍😆❤🎸🏴
*Johnny Burnette - The King of Rockabilly*
😮 😘 Wow!
Greetings from Hamburg Germany, Andreas
Train going into a tunnel the symbolism is really subtle.
Pure rock and roll from the source.
As much as I love Elvis, I think he overshadows Burnette's talent. Johnny deserves more recognition.
Same with Cochran, Vincent..
Personally, I think Elvis is overrated. A lot of people rocked harder than he did. Like these guys. Or Cochran. Or Bo Diddley...etc. etc. Heck, give me Brian Setzer over Elvis :) Maybe I would like Elvis more, if he hadn't been "rammed down my throat" for most of my life. And his movies are stupid too, from what I saw on TCM. But as my mom says, life would be boring if we all liked the same thing.
Max, you are so right. I don’t think he ever got the credit he deserved.
@@michaelbauers8800 Don't forget the two "wild men" of the piano--Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard--they played "thrash metal piano"!
@MrChillin65 wrong...Charlie Feathers ...The Godfather of Rockabilly.
The Burnette brothers were great when they wernt beating the shit out of each other two wild and crazy guys ha ha
I never heard this before. Its EFFEN AMAZING!!!!
I LOVE this song. It was the Yardbirds version that bought me back here. I love that twangy reverb. Way cool!
Hands down, by far, (including those who came before him) THE BEST version of this song. 💯 It cooks just as hot as it did the day it came out!!
That's pretty heavy for the 50's!
Listen to Something Else by Eddie Cochran, and Rumble by Link Wray
@@dubsy1026 Eddie Cochran is arguably the godfather of metal--everyone from Led Zeppelin, the Who, Blue Cheer, Humble Pie to the Sex Pistols has covered his stuff. And as far as Link Wray goes, there is a direct "link" from "Rumble" to Black Sabbath's "War Pigs"--listen next time, and you'll hear an uncanny resemblance!
AAHHhhhhooouuuhhHhhhhhhhh !
@@dubsy1026 Hell yeah. Just a '41 Ford, not a '59.
@@dubsy1026 this is way more metal than Link Wray
cool info! cool cats, too! Bettie Page was drivin' me wild!
The good ole days, these guys rocked it!
GREAT!!!!! MAN THIS SCARED MOM AND DAD GOOD!!!!!!
inspired many a 1960s guitar hero. go, cat, go!
fantastic
Could this be considered an early example of punk rock or hard rock? It’s certainly way ahead of it’s time.
Hard Rock yes
oh man, that early Telecaster sound!! It has Rockabilly written all over it.
That Telecaster is an Esquire.
Grady Martin played it. It was played on a Bigsby.
Great track indeed! By the way; the solo-guitar on this, and most other Rockabilly tracks of Johnny Burnette was played by Grady Martin. All recorded in the Owen Bradley Studios..
Classic stuff ! Before punk ! These boys invited punk !
The 1951 Tiny Bradshaw original is also on YT for those who want to trace the development of the song
Tiny Bradshaw did the clean version !
Early Eighties in Hamburg, i drive my 1953 Pontiac Chieftain Catalina Coupe an i hear this Music full Power...
Wow, great time!!!
The Geritol sign. It was an advertised supplement "a remedy for those who felt tired because of iron poor blood."
Stripped down, primal rock and roll.
As it should be.
the johnny burnette trio lp is probably the greatest rock n roll/rockabilly lp ever pressed to vinyl
Theres something about that 50s guitar sound. Loads of reverb and twang that later heavily distorted versions somehow miss. Bring back rock n'roll and surf rock.
Velvet Underground.
The Geritol sign in the background is a pisser. What a way out song. ❤️
That raw ROCK & ROLL SOUND IS GONE. BUT NOT FOR ME. I LOVE KEEPING IT ROCKING ALL NIGHT LONG WITH MINIMAL PRODUCTION. ROCK AND ROLL IN REAL , ROCK & ROLL FORM. FEEL THE PERFORMANCE. DANCE
QRP
Jimmy Page brought me here. I love how music has roots and goes back in time.
JTSKATE12 aerosmith brought me here........ I like their version best
You might be interested in knowing, then, that Burnett got this song from Tiny Bradshaw's 1951 version.
can you imagine how that guitar sounded to a young jimmys ears ????
yeah and Page sorta did the 1st/6th string octave motif like Burlison on The Lemon Song
@@talpajam Not Burlison! Grady Martin!
When I listen to this, my neighbors do also
This song makes me move my legs automatically. 👌🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻
Johnny Burnette .....c'est le *Roi du Rockabilly*
Most energetic Rockabilly song ever written
One word: FIERCE! And as fresh as the day it came about!
this is the BEST ROCK RIFF EVER.......
This is dope! I love it even more that they were former boxers. Bad ass.
Apparently Dorsey was a sparring partner for Sonny Liston 😀
Rockabilly, the true rock-and-roll
Nothing, no one, nowhere, ever, managed to top this one!!! RnR at its purest, most rebellious form!!! Yeahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😎😎
Remember Yardbirds' version. Never heard original. Jumps off the tracks and out the speakers. And the Betty Page inserts added to the ambiance. Slice of Americana!
One of the original rock n tollers. Fact.
Geez, we learned to bounce all over the living room listening to this stuff way back when.
Badass to this very day!!
Is that a video of Betty Page dancing?
That Geritol really worked. Lots of energy.
Spread leg rockstar boogie....the real deal...chops ,writing, swag ....daaammmmnnnn
I love the Geritol sign in the back, and this guy has had a whole bottle before hitting the stage
WOW !...I need some Geritol !...after that !!! db
I love the dancing girl!
still fresh
Betty Paige makes the video...
this is so much better than anything you could possibly think of.
Damn.
So this is where the Yardbirds got it from !!!
BTW: Love the sponsor.
Spot on !
Fender Esquire Betty Page and a great tune.
Johnny Burnette, before he decided to be a balladeer. He and his brother Dorsey, Paul and Buddy on those slappin' drums defined Rockabilly. I first heard this classic on an LP from Solid Smoke records in the mid-70s, and instantly became a poodle-skirt-wearin', rockabilly hep cat!
This is true ROCKIN. .the bomb
Yes, the Yardbirds version was the first I ever heard, but I love the rawness and sensuality of this original. This is the one I sing.
Check out Motorhead's version. Brilliant!
I thought Yardbirds "Strollin' On" was obviously based upon this one but still a different song, not a version
@@noimanerantes Strollin' On is basically Train Kept A Rollin', they just changed they lyrics because the copyright owners didn't grant them the rights to use it in the movie Blow Up..
Not sure what you mean by "this original" -- the original version of this song preceded this one by about 5 years.
this is the stuff that paved the way for punk music decades later
Old School Rockabilly
I have to say this little gem got by me ....thanks for posting....Love It!!
