Record #0595: The River and the Mountain / This Hotel – DORSEY BURNETTE

Era 3033 (original) USA, Nov. 7, 1960
Words & Music bySide ADorsey Burnette, Barry De Vorzon; Side B – Burnette, Bob West
Musicians: Dorsey Burnette (lead vocals), others unknown
Recording sessions: United Recording Company, Hollywood, CA, Sep./Oct. 1960

Burnette had four fairly successful songs in 1960, but neither of these two were in that league. I think this record isn't among his finest moments either.

Dorsey was the elder brother and former bandmate of Johnny Burnette, who recorded his biggest hit "You're Sixteen" in the very same studio on Sep. 19, 1960. He's also the father of Billy Burnette.

List price:  Very Good+ is $8, Near Mint is $16
