The legendary James Burton will be Bill Lloyd’s guest on the July 23 installment of “Nashville Cats” at the Country Music Hall of Fame. Burton drove Ricky Nelson’s early recordings and later was a pivotal member of Elvis Presley’s band. He also played on Dale Hawkins’ classic “Suzy Q” and Merle Haggard’s “Mama Tried.” That’s as good a resume as a guitar player can have.
Admission is free with a Hall of Fame membership. Burton’s conversation with Lloyd begins at 1:30 and will be streamed live on the hall’s site.
