Description:
This is a new full length project from Mr. Burr. It was recorded in Tehuacana, TX at Texas Hall, an extremely worn building built in the 1860's. All the music is by Burr and Co.
while the lyrics are lifted directly from the Psalms. Burr explains that these words have the universal ability to speak across generations, nationalities, and classes with authenticity and ache. This is a beautiful record, with beautiful sounds, and beautiful artwork. 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
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!
- Americana UK
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
