About Me |
|
| Born and raised in the Central San Joaquin Valley, Richard has been performing as a working musician up and down the coast of California and most recently as a solo singer/songwriter in coffee houses and various venues through out Los Angeles. Richard’s first CD "Mile after Mile" garnered much critical praise and attention in Europe, Australia, Canada and the US, winning awards and chart topping radio airplay that has continues for years even after it’s 1998 release date. Richard’s 2nd independent release, "This Winter’s Chill" has drawn comparisons to some of our greatest comtemporary songwriters including: Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Steve Forbert. Richard has a unique vocal presence and an original and intelligent gift for songwriting.Currently working on his third independent release. The new CD promises to be a mixture of interesting rhythms and inspired storytelling. "The new CD is a bit of a departure. Rhythmically, the new CD has taken some direction that is new for me and I am really having fun with it. I am certainly stretching vocally and enjoying the inspiration quality I am working to infuse into this CD lyrically. I have always been fond of stories of the human struggle." The new CD should be out early in 2008.This has been a busy year for Richard......As well as working on a new music CD release, Richard has also recently released a CD of the Guided, Mindfullness Meditation he uses in the work that he does with those in the early stages of addiction recovery. The CD is a a beautiful and peaceful guide of allowing attention to the moment. "So often our thoughts will carry us away from our appreciation of the moment, which can contribute to our stress and anxiety." The CD is available for purchase at www.RichardBurr.com and CDBaby.com.Blessed with a moody give for writing and a subtle ability for peeling back the hidden layers of our lives, singer/songwriter Richard Burr smolders on his introspective and lyrically rewarding CD "Let it Rain"...on this, his second album, Richard shares self disclosure without a hint of pretension... George Peden (www.countryreview.com)Californian Richard Burr is in a great spot to take advantage of the Americana format. Armed with a passel of good songs, this Haggard-looking, Forber-sounding artis has got the goods to make it big in these musically perilous times. Along with his guitar, harmonica and songs, he’s also got a great band and a mature sesibility that goes far beyond his boyish voice,...he seemingly can’t write a bad song. Scott Homewood (Country Standard Time)This man is a GREAT SONGWITER E.H. King/Country Western Corner Newletter...an artist who deftly threads all the best elements of roots music into a straightforwardly appealing sound...an evocative storyteller who uses his unaffected voice to paint authentic pictures of life.. The Music Connection Magazine /Los Angeles, CA...What can I say...I just like this guys voice CD Shakedown...This is REAL MUSIC, REAL SONGWRITING, and REAL GOOD...his music is real and true that way music was meant to be...one of those songwriters with the ability to inspire other songwriters... | |
