James Burton wins fourth Grammy:

 

Shreveport guitarist James Burton is still riding high from his Grammy win Sunday night. The rock ’n’ roll legend picked up a Grammy Award with country music star Brad Paisley for best country instrumental performance for “Cluster Pluck,” a track from Paisley’s instrumental album, “Play.”

Burton played on the single alongside Vince Gill, John Jorgenson, Albert Lee, Brent Mason, Redd Volkaert and Steve Wariner, who all received Grammys for the single as well.

“I was just really excited. It’s a great honor,” said Burton, who had just returned from Vienna, Austria, when he heard the news about his win.

“Paisley is just such a great artist and great entertainer and guitar player. And for all of us to play on this one instrumental is fantastic.”

Burton said he was unable to attend the awards show due to his tight schedule, which includes traveling to Memphis, Tenn., and Nashville, Tenn., to record music for his latest project, a tribute album to fellow musician and friend Tony Brown.

The win marks the fourth Grammy Award for Burton, who was lead guitarist for Elvis Presley from 1969 until Presley’s death in 1977. Go here to James Burton official website.

James Burton solo (1965)

 

From time to time, you can discover real treasures on YouTube. We found this clip on the ElvisMatters forum and we think it's worth to mention it on this page. James Burton was the bandleader of the 'Shindogs' in the popular TV-show 'Shindig'. The band had also Glen D Hardin on piano. The house band played each week with another musical guest. In this recording from 1965, James is playing a solo piece, called 'Love Lost'. A unique time document.
