Doug Burr

Add Date: May 25

Artist: Doug Burr

Album: O Ye Devastator

Label: Velvet Blue Music/Spune

Genre: Folk, Americana

Comments: With a voice like John Vanderslice and tunes like Red House Painters, Doug Burr of Denton, Texas gives us his third proper record, and what a fine record it is. Burr's slightly whiny voice works well with the slow-brooding ramble of the drums, pedal steel, banjo, keys, and guitar. "At the Public Dance" shows that DB is no stranger to using distortion carefully. Check out "Red, Red."
