A singer and songwriter of uncommon resonance, Doug Burr was born in 1972 in Dallas, TX, growing up in a Southern Baptist family, the spiritual residue of which has been a lifelong influence on his musical endeavors. Burr took up the guitar at age 16, and by 18 he was writing songs. After a dozen or so years of home recording, open mikes, church performances, and coffeehouse gigs in the Dallas-Fort Worth region, he began fronting the roots rock band the Lonelies. In 2003 he independently released “The Sickle & the Sheaves,” an ambitious and atmospheric gospel concept album produced by Deadman’s Steven Collins that worked around the themes of birth, death, and renewal and brought him a good deal of critical attention. The equally impressive “On Promenade” appeared in 2007 from Spune/Velvet Blue Music.

Listening to Thing About Trouble and hearing/feeling a lot of Ryan Adams. That's a good thing... Great track

My wife and I had the chance to see Doug open up for Bill Mallonee a couple of weeks ago and all I can say is that we were very impressed. I really recommend checking him out and I'm looking forward to the upcoming album.
