One of the greatest of all time. Was very sorry when he died in a plane crash on New Years eve in 1985. He never received the credit that was due him. R.I.P. Rick Nelson and thanks for all the great memories.
I have to wonder how many 5, 6, 7, 8 year old kids picked up a guitar because of the great James Burton's blistering licks? I can sure hear Carl Wilson in there.
If you're a James Burton fan,check out Gram Parson's GP and Grevious Angel.Also,James was Elvis' lead player at the time of his death.There's a video here of him playing with Ricky's two sons doing Believe What you Say that's great!!!Type in "The Nelson brothers with James Burton."
