This is something which takes me back. "The Train Kept a-Rollin'" is a fine track, perhaps one of the best rock and roll tracks of all time. This version by Johnny Burnette and the Rock and Roll Trio benefits from the fact that it is delivered in an up-tempo manner and fairly bounces along. In that sense it is rather unusual for its era becasue it is a lor harder, faster and more energetic than most other songs of the time. And of course, this has been covered by a plethora of artists, including most notably perhaps, the Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin. (The Yardbirds even did a version they called "Stroll On" which was remarkable for being probably the first twin lead guitar rock song ever made). Still ahead of its time even then.
Rating: 7/10
