Description:
"On Promenade" is Doug Burr's second full-length release, and is eleven tracks beautifully soaked in sincerity, heartache, and love. Twinges of Wilco, Young, Oldham, and maybe some hints of Jurado, Swift, or Bazan, though Doug's music is clearly his own. Subtle yet commanding, and it actually feels meaningful. In the words of a recent bloggers...“This is an album that is bound to stand the test of time. Doug Burr is kind of a big deal." This is a co-release with our friends at Velvet Blue Music.

Press:
Doug Burr delivers enough heartbreak to drive you to the edge of the bridge, and just enough hope to keep you from jumping. Rugged and pristine, this is music that gets under your skin and goes straight for the heart like a shot of morphine. - Real Roots Cafe, Holland
Top “Four to Watch" band. Exquisitely detailed, slow and deliberate, his songs have as much in common with the literature of Eudora Welty and Cormac McCarthy as with the work of the Americana dimmerati to whom he is often, and somewhat shortsightedly, compared...- Paste Magazine
Burr evokes distinctive voices such as Wilco's Jeff Tweedy or Red House Painters' Mark Kozelek. These warm, inviting compositions are effortlessly beautiful. - FW Star-Telegram
Burr shares an intrinsic knowledge of song dynamics with the likes of Jeff Tweedy, and has a voice that tugs at the heart strings. Brilliant!

Channeling Tom Waits (and a little Ryan Adams), Doug Burr brings a classic sense of storytelling to his
almost-gravelly songs
