I for one have greatly enjoyed exploring the music of the Chet Bakers and Jelly Rolls that have influenced Burton's music and came to the conclusion that Burton first became known to us as a rocker mostly because that was the happening form of popular music at the time. I don't think there are too many pop musicians around who share or appreciate such eclectic tastes in their music.
