Rocky Burnette - The Son Of Rock & Roll (1980)

Rocky Burnette (born Jonathan Burnette, 12 June 1953) is an American rock and roll singer/musician and the son of rock and roll pioneer, Johnny Burnette.
Rocky Burnette followed in his father's musical footsteps, playing rowdy, high-energy rockabilly that dovetailed nicely with the early '80s revival of the style.
Rocky Burnette was born in Memphis, Tennessee, and became part of the early 1980s revival of the rockabilly style.
He released his first album, “Son of Rock 'n' Roll”, on EMI America in 1979.
 In the summer of 1980, his single "Tired of Toein' the Line" became a Top Ten hit in the United States. The song's lyrics detail an imminent breakup.
Predating success stories by the likes of the Stray Cats and the Cramps; the song was also quite popular internationally, establishing an overseas fan base for Burnette that would endure for quite some time.
