Over on our home page , we've got two slideshows of photos by the great Hal Samples from last night's Dallas Observer Music Awards ceremony at the Best Venue-winning Granada Theater . Part I contains 21 color images, while Part II has a dozen black and white shots. I'll echo music editor Pete Freedman's sentiments about last night. I thought it was by far the best of the three DOMAs I've attended so far. The only letdown of the night for me was that [...]
Thanks to everyone who came out to tonight's Dallas Observer Music Awards! I, for one, had a grand ol' time. How couldn't you have? The performances were amazing: Doug Burr and Sarah Jaffe stunned; The Whiskey Folk Ramblers riled; Lil Wil repped hard ; the Best Instrumentalists killed; THe BAcksliders rocked; Record Hop deafened; and The Cannabanoids, they kept thing fresh all freakin' night long. And the winners? Plenty worthy, folks. Full winners list after the jump, yo. (Oh, and keep an eye out on [...]

Conducted by Capt. Obvious Obvious: Besides being a musician, you've got a day job AND you're a husband and a father. Is it difficult to balance your music with your home life? Burr: YES! But we already had our first child when I started gigging on the scene alot back in 1999, so I've never really been doing this without them. But I've got three kids now so it's getting to be even more of a balancing act. [...]
A Do512.com sponsored event: Low Line Caller/Flat People/Doug Burr @ Stubb's Inside 1.4.08 I've got it on good recommendation that this show might be something that you pencil in for a visit on Friday night. I'm new to both Low Line Caller and Flat People, but have spent some time with Doug Burr's latest release On Promenade, and it has slowly been creeping more and more into my conscious. Hints of paying homage to songwriters like Tweedy, Farrar, Kozelek, and even Young, this recording [...]
New Wax There really are a lot of great songwriters out there and it's really been a real treat running this blog and having the unique opportunity to expand my knowledge of great music. With the release of On Promenade , Denton songwriter Doug Burr definitely deserves to have his named thrown into the hat. Burr's music fits nicely into the alt. country category, and he's had the luxury of opening for such established acts as The Great Lake Swimmers and former Vigilantes of Love [...]
Doug Burr Somehow I lost touch with his music between 2005 and the Wall of Sound Festival but after seeing him play on the third stage before my interest has been skyrocketed again. His lazy voice is filled with depression and wiry country shapes and textures that makes look like . With steel guitar, harmonica and somber strumming his music is polished and fresh* The profound new album " On Promenade " is mesmerizing even though after several listens I don't [...]
