New Doug Burr – The Shawl

Friday, December 12, 2008 By Kelly Dearmore

As I mentioned a while back, the excellent Doug Burr from Denton, TX is soon releasing an LP that consists of songs inspired by The Psalms. As high as my expectations are for this disc, I am certain that the disc will exceed those almost unfair expectations. The Shawl (Spune/Velvet Blue) comes out digitally next week and the hard copy will roll out next month.

Burr has also released a video for “Should’ve Known” from his stellar 2007 disc On Promenade. It floored me when I first watched it.

About the author:  I likes me some wine, women and waffles, not always in that order (but usually). Chaucer is cool, but fart jokes are even better. You feel like spikin' your country with a little soul or mix in a little rock without the roll? Lemme hear from ya!!
