DESCRIPTION:
"On Promenade" is 11 tracks beautifully soaked in sincerity, heartache, and love. Doug Burr's flavor of backwoods roots and smart pop hooks has been described as conjuring Lucinda Williams on a revival high. Finding a truly special record is like finding a needle in a hay stack these days, so consider "On Promenade" the best the needle you ever found!
There's twinges of the regulars in it : 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. Check out myspace.com/dougburr to preview songs from the record.
We are happy to have two great independent labels, Spune(Comet, LaMonica, Wall Of Sound Festival) and Velvet Blue Music (Richard Swift, Viva Voce, Lassie Foundation, Kissing Cousins) co-release this CD.
"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
"Doug sings with sound and fury, like he was layin' down and dyin', like he would never sing again." - Dallasmusic.com
"Burr is a fine writer who thinks about things; whether or not we agree with his fervid Gospel of promised light in a dark world, his music moves." - Buddy Magazine
Stay tuned for more tour dates and release news.

Doug.......Can't wait for the new c.d . I've loved all the tunes I've heard so far. IMO you need to close live with "Secret Garden" . That tune kills. Blessings.
