Ricky Nelson - Believe What You Say mp3 download

prefer the backing with the jordanaires

Read about this song in a book called "Waiting For The Sun - Strange Days, Weird Scenes, and The sound of Los Angeles". It talks about this solo, and how it was one of the first on pop records.

Famous solo. He has simple licks and purely country but they fit the song and are tasteful.

Ricky Nelson was a very weak performer, especially when compared to other rock ‘n’ rollers around then (eg. Jerry Lee, Elvis), but he sounds fine here. Also worth a listen is the flip, ‘My Bucket’s Got A Hole In It’, a reworking of the old Hank Williams Tune. Ricky sounds better here than he does on his earlier records, like ‘Be-Bop Baby’, but his voice is still pretty ‘flat’ sounding. He would have made for a good crooner. I prefer the overdub with the Jordanaires, provides a ‘fuller’ sound

A VERY underrated performer from the late 50s and early 60s.

All bow down to James Burton.

one of my teenage favourites !

I have this version, as well as the version where he is backed up by the Jordanaires.

I prefer this version without without the vocals also, both are good, however

One of the greatest rock and roll songs of all time.

wow the great rickey nelson love it. and the james burton the guitar man
