Johnny Burnette may have set the woods on fire with his torrid Rock N' Roll Trio records, but it was his later production-heavy Hollywood pop hits that burned up the charts. By softening the raw edges of rockabilly and sweetening it for mass appeal, Johnny unknowingly aided an effort to defuse the very music he had helped invent, joining a generation of teen idols that came on like a dream, peaches and cream. Norton's two Johnny Burnette collections, CRAZY DATE and WAMPUS CAT find Johnny still burning with the flame of his native Memphis rhythm while reaching for the commercial success that was to come fast and soon. ~ Billy Miller
