Please, please, please do yourself a favor and watch the beautiful, incredible, Josh Pearson-starring, Jon Todd Collins-directed video for Doug Burr‘s “Should’ve Known”, off 2007’s On Promenade. Amazing stuff–if, OK, a little curious in terms of its release.
Why release a song off Burr’s 2007 disc when another disc, his new, Psalms-inspired The Shawl, is currently available for purchase. (It’s official CD release show isn’t until Saturday, January 17, at Sons of Hermann Hall–catch our official review of the disc in the paper that comes out on the 15th.) Tough to say. But, either way, hell of a video.
Or is a turn of phrase like “hell of a video” a tad, oh, uncouth? After all, congratulations are in order for Mr. Burr: Dunno how we missed this earlier, but did you know that The Shawl was already named to a best of year-end list? Online music mag Patrol named the disc as the eighth-best “faith-inspired” album of 2008. I know, right? Talk about fast. Good for Doug.
Anyone who’s ever met him knows he’s a great guy, and anyone who’s ever heard him knows that he deserves this. —Pete Freedman
