really great cd.


Despite a Great Voice... Music Lover: from Gulfport, FL -- August, 24, 2017

I tried to find some material on this collection that knocked me out...and found none. The man could sing, no doubt. Prior to hearing this collection, D. Burnette was just a name to me. I knew about his musical family and the fact of his songwriting history. The songs in this collection (from his solo career with ERA Records) are well recorded, engineered, played, produced and sung, but to my ear, the material is much too "middle-of-the-road" for my taste. I want to hear him belt out a tune. I'd like to hear him on some rougher, rockin'/rockabilly material with a producer that prodded him to cut loose with it. Perhaps there is some material out there that fits the bill, but I won't be searching for it. However, if you enjoy MOR music sung with skill, strings and syrupy backing vocals, this could be the collection for you.
