Hank C. Burnette - "Hank's Guitar Boogie Special"

I recorded this one in my parents living room as far back as sometime between Xmas and New Year's Eve 1966, just two guitar dubs and no drums. Those were added several years later (no, I'm not kiddin'!!). I didn't realise it at the time that the whole track does somehow bear a striking resemblance to the stuff Les Paul was doin' way back in the early '50s (aka speeded up lead guitar and all that), at least that's what people have told me. And that's probably also the reason why some media folks from time to time has bestowed me with the rather awkward nickname "the Les Paul of rockabilly"!! A real quickie this one..took me only app. a quarter to record (to my parents relief, lol!), just rhythm and lead guitar and totally improvised all the way in one take only (I've never ever been a fan of doing retakes! If things doesn't happen the first time around, I'd rather throw the whole damn thing away instead of wasting time on something that obviously wasn't meant to be in the first place, period!). The flanging bit in the beginning and end was added at the same time as the drums and the guitar throughout is that treble happy Hagström 'plank' again. Start tapping...
