Husband&Wife have a new album out, called Proud Flesh , and it's quite easily their strongest album yet. Husband&Wife began planning Proud Flesh several years ago, while they were working on Dark Dark Woods . Wanting to release a downbeat rock album first, they recorded Dark Dark Woods , and kept the upbeat songs for their follow-up. As a result, these songs are seasoned and well thought out. Last night Husband&Wife celebrated their [...]
New Wax We've sung the praises of Doug Burr numerous times on CO. His 2007 album On Promenade was my introduction to Burr and it was an unexpected jewel filled with lush instrumentation and accomplished songwriting. 2009's The Shawl , which found Burr reworking passages from the book of Psalms, was yet another solid contribution to the genre. Now Burr is back with another alt. country/folk-infused album of original work entitled O Ye Devastator , and its fitting cover art candidly depicts a bride [...]

Is there anything that goes better with impending summer than fresh Americana folk music, complete with banjos, slide guitar and heart-wrenching lyrics? Luckily, Denton, Texas, native Doug Burr is here with his third record, O Ye Devastator (Spune/Velvet Blue Music), just in time for long drives with the windows rolled down and days lounging on [...]

![Doug Burr: O Ye Devastator [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2545595_lg.jpg)
His voice is soft. His soul seems calm. He is Doug Burr , one the latest artists to develop the prominent theory of using naturalism and a far from tyrannical use of expressions to create vibrant yet subtle songs that make you feel....well, they just make you feel. His third release, O Ye Devastator , proves to be a perfect continuation, as well as a reintroduction to this man who sings with such an ease it will leave you planted right where you are with a sensation to do nothing but [...]
Denton, Texas's Doug Burr brings a steady boil of reverential rustic and reserved melody on his new record, O Ye Devastator, released this week. See what you think for yourself with album track "Red Red." How many words do I need to waste to tell you I like this one? http://www.dougburr.com/ http://velvetbluemusic.com/ http://spune.com/
Denton, Texas singer-songwriter Doug Burr is bringing new ideas to the "tradition" of the singer-songwriter. Like Tweedy, Ray LaMontagne, Jim James, Conor, Bon Iver, Josh Ritter and The Low Anthem's Ben Knox Miller, Burr may draw on the past yet he commands a compelling present day troubadour stance. On his new album O Ye Devastator (co-released with Spune and Velvet Blue Music) , Burr has released an exceptional collection of songs. Descriptions like "deliberate," "sweeping" [...]

I love it when I find great music in my inbox- and this track popped in last Friday after I'd put together the mixtape already. Since the album "O Ye Devastator" dropped today, I thought I'd give it a little plug here. Doug Burr - Red Red
Doug Burr is a singer-songwriter in the Springsteen style - songs come out fully formed and ready for some full band attention, but with an intimacy that engages deeply. From Denton, Texas, (home of Midlake and Furr) Burr's voice and style is closer to Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, but it is hard to overstate how lush and gorgeous this man's songs are - there isn't an attempt to overemote, no odd...

Today, I'm sinking into some more new music while working on my dissertation. By far the best of it is from Doug Burr, and he comes to me courtesy of You Crazy Dreamers . The track in question is "Red, Red" from his forthcoming O Ye Devastator album (out May 4th on Spune). This is actually Doug's third album, but it's entirely new to me. But after just a few listens through of the player on his site (seen below), I'm hooked. The songs have an earnest, thoughtful quality, but never stray into self-indulgent [...]
Doug Burr zu hören bedeutet Herzzerbrechen, das dich an den Rand einer Brücke bringt. Aber gleichzeitig schenkt er genauso viel Hoffnung, die dich vom springen abhält. [mp3] Doug Burr - Red red
ein schöner, beweglicher und ein wenig ausufernder stomp ist "red red", das banjo flankierend, im vordergrund die lustvolle gitarre und der alles überstrahlende gesang von doug burr . schöner auftakt, um sich etwas mehr mit diesem burschen zu beschäftigen. "a black wave is comin'" ( hier ) dagegen hat eine wohlfeile elegische note, kommt uns mit dunklen streichern gar. burr holt etwas aus, aber mit tiefer emotionalität, niemals kitschig. eine zweite notiz, um hinter die kulissen zu schauen. mit "o ye devastator" legt der bursche aus denton sein mittlerweile drittes full length vor. es [...]
[ download ] [tweetmeme] At the age of sixteen, Doug Burr heard his calling; he picked up a guitar and hasn't looked back. Since then, the Denton, Texas resident has led (and disbanded) a group called The Lonelies and released three albums under his own name, most recently 2007's critically lauded On Promenade . On May 4th, Burr will let loose his fourth LP courtesy of Velvet Blue Music . The intriguingly titled O Ye Devastator is a stirring collection of eleven new songs dotted with slide [...]
