DFW Terry Awards 2000 - Solo Artist of the Year, 2001 Rockzillaworld Texas Artist of the Year...if that ain't enough! It's no surprise when this Texas artist wins an award. If you don't know him by now, get to know Brian Burns. This is a true Texan singing great Texas songs. Brian joins the mytexasmusic.com family as he offers his latest CD "The Eagle and The Snake - Songs of the Texians" (Bandera Records). This is an album in its truest form, blending songs of similar theme into a seamless story of Texas history. The story is a chronology of sorts, taking you from the coming of man upon the barren desert in Marty Robbins' "Man Walks Among Us" to Burns' haunting narration of William B. Travis' letter of status and relentless steadfastness in "Travis' Letter" and concluding with the futuristic "The Last Living Cowboy." Burns teams up with some other tall Texans like Gary P. Nunn on "Well Of The Blues" and Larry Joe Taylor on "Third Coast." A must-hear on this CD is Brian Burns' Texas version of Geoff Mack's ""I've Been Everywhere" which he calls "I've Been Everywhere (In Texas)." The song is quickly rising up the Texas Music Chart. While he can't name all the cities in Texas, he has a good representation from Krugerville to Pflugerville; from New Home, New Hope and New Deal to Rockport and Bridgeport. No, I didn't hear Marfa or Moscow on the list, but maybe that's for another song. In concert, Brian Burns is true to his craft. His voice and guitar work are both inviting and confident. Burns also offers two other titles, These are must-buy discs for the CD collection of any true Texan. Or should I say... Texian. Order each title today! Now, the long awaited "HEAVY WEATHER" is here. Get them while you can!
