I now know why "they" call it the promise land.



I live on 25 acres of pure Texas country with a pond, barn, goats, tractors, four brothers, and four dogs. As I set on a bench watching the sunset smoking a cigarette, it hit me...

This album. Timeless.


Austin Chronicle
SXSW Saturday Sleeper - Doug Burr’s songs liquidate complex visions of mortality with steely resolution, the Denton native’s detailed, literate narratives emerging in sympathetic acoustic strains. Inspired by Greil Marcus’ Mystery Train, On Promenade broods with the causticness of Will Johnson with touches of Jeff Tweedy and Neil Young. - Austin Chronicle LINK: http://www.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/Issue/print?oid=601893
