Doug Burr
Doug Burr has been quietly turning heads in Denton Texas for a while now, scooping up regional awards and nominations (Dallas Music, Dallas Observer, Dallas Morning News) as well as critical acclaim from countless national and international publications. “I wanted to make a record of Psalms music for a long time, since about 2003,” says Burr about The Shawl, his new work recorded at Texas Hall in the pastoral town of Tehuacana, TX, and slated for release early 2009. You can download “The Righteous Will Rejoice” from his upcoming record, here.
