Ricky Nelson - It's Late / Never Be Anyone Else But You FLAC album

I love these early 'teenage guilt' rock songs. Dorsey Burnette's 'It's Late' finds Ricky sweating bullets because he's been out with his date all night, possibly doing WHAT!? Shades of 'Wake Up Little Suzie'. Of course, these were in the quaint old days when kids were expected home at a reasonable hour.

Lyrics would get more explicit in the sixties. We all know what Tommy James was up to in 'I Think We're Alone Now'. But for television's Ricky Nelson, 'It's Late' is about as blue as he could get. Sometimes less is more. Clever lyric and fine rockabilly guitar courtesy James Burton.
