Kept A-Rollin" is a song written by Tiny Bradshaw, Howard Kay, and Lois Mann. Bradshaw first recorded the song as a jump blues in 1951 his best known recording. After a rock and roll version of the song was recorded and released by Johnny Burnette and the Rock and Roll Trio
in 1956, numerous other versions have been recorded. The Trio's
version, considered a rockabilly classic, is an upbeat, high energy
version of the original, with lead guitarist Paul Burlison playing what
many consider to be the first introduction of the contemporary rock and
roll feedback/distortion guitar sound.
