Rocky Burnette is an American rock and roll singer/musician who rose to prominence in the late 1970s and early 1980s. He is particularly known for his 1980 hit single "Tired of Toein' the Line," which showcases his characteristic rockabilly style, a genre strongly influenced by his father, Johnny Burnette, a rock and roll pioneer. Burnette's music contributes to the continuity of the rockabilly tradition, blending elements of country, blues, and rock and roll. Despite a relatively short peak in his career, his influence is seen in the persistence of rockabilly subculture and music.
