When Charley Crockett declares you to be "one of the finest songwriters to come out of Texas in this generation" you know you've hit a sweet spot.
More than a dozen years into his acclaimed career, Dallas Burrow continues to carry the torch for a particular brand of storytelling Texas-born songwriters who came before him with his forthcoming album, The Way The West Was Won, due out in September.
The New Braunfels native looks back and reimagines the tales from the trails of the outliers that came before him on a record that reads like a long lost love letter to Texas.
Produced by Grammy winner Lloyd Maines and recorded in just two days, it's a richly imaginative collection of cowboy songs, conjuring up a Wild West landscape of vaqueros and outlaws and featuring guest appearances from Ray Wylie Hubbard, Kelly Willis, and Jim Lauderdale, This is music for campfires and trail rides, theatres and festival stages, and Burrow's delivery nods to influences like Townes Van Zandt, Willie Nelson, and Marty Robbins as well as contemporaries like Charley Crockett and Vincent Neil Emerson.
