Description
2013 album from the Nashville-based Honky-Tonk auteur. Backed by his redoubtable band the WPA Ballclub, 'Fevers' reveals the side of Burch heard most often on stage intense, unbridled, and full of bravado. Produced with multi-instrumentalist Fats Kaplin and recorded at Burch's analog Pan-American studio, 'Fevers' is a riveting and haunting mix of Honky-Tonk, string-band Blues, and Bop grooves that defies easy categorization.
'Fevers' includes 10 Burch compositions, including the first single 'Couldn't Get a Witness', along with two covers: 'Ocean Of Tears', originally by Tennessee Ernie Ford, and 'I'm Going to Memphis'. which was originally released on the Alan Lomax's 'Blues In The Mississippi Night'.
"..one of the leading figures on Nashville's more rootsy and alternative scene. I'd even posit that he's an undiscovered genius deserving of much great recognition, and those in the know will be delighted with 'Fevers', which is one of his strongest releases." CMP
"..with every subsequent listen, the pleasure intensifies and this has become my favorite album of 2014." R2
