Hi all James burton of Elvis fame is currently on tour with the Elvis in concert 2010 tour
Well worth seeing. also joining him on stage is ronnie tutt Glen Hardin, the Imperials, the sweet inspirations and a fantastic bass player by the name of Nathan East. the concert in Sheffield on Friday was a brilliant night! If you can grab a ticket for one of the remaining shows and enjoy!
long live the music

I saw James with Billy Swan ("I Can Help") and the Grundy Pritchard Band at the 100 club in London a few years ago. It was a great show and James stayed behind until everyone had the autographs, handshakes and pictures they wanted, which was a lot of autographs, handshakes and pictures!

I agree with your comments about James and the band , it's a pity the origional bass player Jerry Scheff hasn't made it this time, as he to is an exceptional bass player. I first met James Burton while at Graceland and as I cued up to get his autograph noticed he had his pink paisley tele - caster with him and was letting people hold it so I managed to get a few strums on it, oh I thought I was in heaven.

for me James Burton is more of Ricky Nelson fame (1958-1967), although he also later played with Elvis Presley (1969-1977).
