The current #1 country song, like so many, was an ode to the blue-collar working class. Merle Haggard sure knew how to tap into that vibe. I thought the chicken-pickin’ guitar sounded like James Burton, one of the all-time greats (see Nelson, Ricky; Presley, Elvis). Turns out I was right. My gosh, JB is a fantastic guitarist. Burton celebrated his 80th birthday yesterday (8/21/19).
