How is this not one of the greatest guitar solos of early rock ‘n’ roll?? James Burton rocks!

Rock-n-Roll in the 1950s didn't get any better than Rick Nelson's Believe What You Say."

[larry]

One of best rockabilly songs of all time

SAD LOSS TO THE WORLD WE ALL LOVE AND MISS YOU RICK, RIP 2-28-25

I remember when this great arrangement first appeared on the old Ozzie & Harrier TV show...it is undoubtedly one of his best from April 1958

[lennon]

"Believe What You Say" is a song written by Dorsey Burnette and Johnny Burnette in 1958. Backing Ricky is Gene Garf on piano, James Kirkland on stand up bass, Richie Frost on drums and James Burton on lead guitar.

James Burton playing a Rickenbacker! And this is early Ricky Nelson. I had this 45.

[stephenford]

One of the best rockers Ricky ever did.Great guitar by James Burton.This music knocks spots off todays crap they call music.I seem to think the two dislikes concerning this song must be from spice girl fans

[manuellgonzales]

Wow, James Burton is playing a Rickenbacker Guitar how awesome is that! I have one, a 360 Ricky, He has a classic one, I would love to have that one as well. Totally cool

[tippimail]

To me, James's guitar break on this is just the best, bar none!

[Firebrand]

I pre-ordered the 45 rpm 7 inch single back then....still plays beautifully....with surprising harmonic range...

[sandsoftime]

They say that Elvis was a real lady's man, but I bet there weren't too many women that said no to Ricky either.

Ricky was/is still the best all through to 2024.

Precious, and I miss those much, much more innocent days. So glad I was born in 1948!!

[RobertLaberge]

Ricky shines on this song composed especially for him by rockabilly pioneer Johnny Burnette.
Guitarist extraordinaire James Burton (later on stage with Elvis Presley during the seventies) plays one more classic solo at 0:50 on his Rickenbacker guitar.
