Background and Early Career

Singer/songwriter and producer T Bone Burnett was born Joseph Henry Burnett III on January 14, 1948, in St. Louis, Missouri. At a young age, Burnett moved with his family to Fort Worth, Texas, where he would spend the rest of his childhood.

Surrounded by a confluence of music in his hometown, including the blues and Tex-Mex, Burnett adopted an early love for all kinds of music. By the age of 14, he was making a second home for himself at a juke joint in Fort Worth, which hosted blues icons like B.B. King and Junior Parker.

Ever ambitious, Burnett was only 17 when he bought his own recording studio, which catered to both Forth Worth bands and visiting musicians. "These country musicians would drink a lot of whiskey, take a lot of speed, and want to stay up all night," he later recalled. "They'd need a place to do it, so they'd end up at my studio."
