James Burton played guitar in Ricky Nelson's band starting in 1957 at the age of 18. Despite his youth, Burton had already earned a reputation in the music industry for his playing and was sought out for session work. One historic recording session was in his home state of Louisiana for Dale Hawkins on the foundational rock song "Susie-Q" (spelled differently often). Dale Hawkins released his debut album Oh! Suzy-Q in 1958 on Chess Records.
