Pro Reviews: East to West
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Paul Burch is not usually named in discussions of alternative country or, saints forbid, Americana. He is not that scene's most wellknown identity, nor, should he be. He's been banging around d Nash Vegas playing clubs and doing tours whenever he can for the last decade or so. Burch is a country artist in the purist sense of the word. He may hang out with Lambchop, but his own records are country records. Period.Burch has quietly and unassumingly built a catalog that reflects inspiration, and consistently high quality in songwriting and performance. His last two records, 2000s Blue Notes and 2003's Fool for Love are seldom touted as classics, but they should be. They are some of the greatest onetwo meditations on love and its loss in the American vernacular in the last 50 years; no hyperbole intended. Burch has a voice that is literally out of time. One can picture him singing on a Bob Wills, Webb Pierce, or Faron Young record, or hanging out as a vocalist on a Buck Owens, Willie Nelson, Ronnie Milsap, or Johnny Rodriguez album. But Burch is never mindful of the spotlight or the comparisons; he's got work to do. On East to West, he does it with a whole lot of friends. Recorded in Nashville and in England (the latter with Mark Knopfler at the guitarist's studio, to which he'd been invited). While his WPA Ballclub are the backing band here, there are a few guests, like Knopfler, including Tim O'Brien, Fats Kaplin, Richard Bennet, Kelly Hogan, and this guy some of you may know, Dr. Ralph Stanley. Stanley has been known to ask for a chair to be set up on the side of the stage when Burch is playing his set just so he could watch him and hear him sing. |
