I should probably know more about this, but I've never paid a whole lot of attention. Anyway, I recall once hearing an R&B or R&R session where Burrell was listed as the guitarist, and I could have sworn that it was somebody else. Some things (touch, taste, phrasing, maybe even tone) shouldn't really change that much, despite the setting... should they? I suppose all the discographical errors I've seen over the years have caused me to remain skeptical in many cases, until the truth is clear.
There, that was helpful, wasn't it?
