Sonny Burns • Devil's Disciple CD Anyone reading about the implosion of Sonny Burns' career in the mid-1950s, when the East Texas honky-tonk singer sank from sight while his friend, label mate and sometime duet partner George Jones rocketed to stardom -- might be surprised to find out that there was a Second Coming.Devil’s Disciple picks up where A Real Cool Cat, which covered his Starday years of 1953-56, left off, exploring Sonny's recording career from 1959 onwards,The story of Burns' first flirtation with fame, and his at least partly self-induced fall, is the stuff of country music legend because it has been so closely linked with the rise of George Jones, the most revered country singer of the post-Hank Williams years.His second stab at stardom chronicled here resulted in some great recordings.
