b. Sven-Åke Högberg, 12 December 1944, Sveg, Sweden. Burnette is a multi-instrumentalist who plays and sings all parts on his records, which he also engineers, arranges and produces. He recreates the echo-laden rockabilly records of the late 50s and alternates between his own compositions and familiar titles (‘Peggy Sue’, ‘Boppin’ The Blues’, ‘Red Cadillac And A Black Moustache’). His own wild instrumental, ‘Spinning Rock Boogie’, closely based on ‘A Wonderful Time Up There’, was a UK Top 30 hit in 1976.
