Dorsey Burnette: Great Shakin’ Fever

1-CD with 16-page booklet, 25 tracks. Playing time approx. 63 mns.

After leaving the epochal Rock ‘n’ Trio, Dorsey went to California, and that’s where he made these sides. Recorded in 1961 for Era and Dot, these 25 sides capture Dorsey mellowing a little, but still able to shake it up–as the title track shows. Principally known as Ricky Nelson’s songwriter at the time, Dorsey had just broken through with Tall Oak Tree when these sides were made. Titles include Raining In My Heart,
Don’t Let Go, Buckeye Road, The Rains Came Down and his Elvis tribute A Country Boy In The Army.
