NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Outlaw Billy Don Burns, The Country Blues album was released earlier this year by Country Rewind Records with physical distribution by Select-O-Hits. The new recordings which are getting great reviews and radio airplay are available for streaming and download on all digital music platforms including Apple Music, iTunes, Spotify, Amazon Music, Google Play, Pandora and more here.
“A veteran country star who’s been a true road warrior with long bouts of touring and has had his songs recorded by Willie Nelson, Mel Tillis and Connie Smith among others, on The Country Blues the icon proves just why he’s such an important part of Country and Western music,” Take Effect Reviews – Tom Haugen. “Burns has lived a life full enough for 2 people, and he’s got stories to tell that you’ll want to hear. Thankfully, he’s well versed in country sounds- both past and present- and his execution is something we’ll never tire of.”
“They tried to run him off but Willie’s slow. Apparently Burns ran too fast for his own good since he’s been in the honky tonks for 50 years and finally got a record deal; when there are practically no more records. Age might have sanded down some of his rough edges, but he’s still singing about running drugs from Mexico and other career paths most moms would frown upon,” Midwest Record – Chris Spector. “If you find yourself firing up Waylon and them boys on the streaming services, this is the new stuff you’ve been looking for. He sings it like he lived it and the authenticity will blow your socks off. Hot throughout.”
This album is about the life of a honky tonk singers’ fifty years on the road and he’s still doing it 250-300 days a year. His songs have been recorded by the old guard, Willie Nelson, Mel Tillis, Connie Smith and others, and lots of new up and coming artists like Cody Jinks, Colter Wall.” Billy Don Burns
“It is a great album, Billy Don sounds great, as he always does. The songs are fantastic. He sings about the truth and hard times, but he tells a tale of warning and a tale of heart with this album,” exclaims Shooter Jennings. “Long live Billy Don Burns and his very important place in the history of Country and Western Music.”
