Thanks X...Sad to hear of the passing of Billy Lee Riley.I used to work with a Rockbilly band and they wanted to cover "Flyin’ Saucers Rock ‘N Roll" after hearing Robert Gordon's version.I found them the original Billy Lee Riley version...and they were knocked out. Whenever they played it...the crowd went crazy.Jump forward to a couple of years ago, I was walking into see Imelda May & Darrell Higham (her husband) play a show when I noticed a guy struggling to carry 3 guitar cases in the show.I offered a hand...and to make a long story short he was personally delivering 3 Classic Fenders that Darrell had bought from him in LA. This was Imelda's last show before heading back to Ireland so hence the delivery. Got to talking to the guy and discovered he used to own a studio in LA in '60's...everybody played there...he said the best guitar player he ever heard play wasn't James Burton...but a guy I probably had never heard of....Billy Lee Riley! Rest In Peace Billy, your music will live forever.
