Rocky Burnette - two albums

Rocky Burnette scored a big hit with "Tired of Toein' The Line" in 1980, which has never been released on CD.  Here's a needle-drop digitization from a mint condition copy of the album.

The songwriting varies from good to god-awful; he's better on the mid to up-tempo numbers than on the Presleyesque ballads.  And "Clowns From Outer Space" has one of the oddest metaphors I've heard in quite a while: "Like a clown in outer space, you drug'd my heart across the galaxy."

Yikes.  

But still:  Tired Of Toein' The Line is a great song.

....And here's his second album, from 1982.

No big hit, but the uptempo songs are decent.

Neither of these have ever been released on CD. They're "of a time," the production definitely sounds 1980s..
