Just look at that. That's a great rock 'n' roll photo, isn't it? It's Bob Luman, backed by James Kirkland on bass, and a seventeen year old James Burton on guitar. Yeah, seventeen. The same line up is below, a high quality clip from the film Carnival Rock. Check out Burton's playing, not just the solo. His fills are compact and spot on. Kirkland and Burton would go on to back Ricky Nelson. After Nelson, Burton was hot property. He's on, I don't know, something like half of the records ever recorded. Luman went country.
