Dallas Burrow
A Texas-born Americana artist rooted in the tradition of his home state's songwriting
heroes, Dallas Burrow built a career on both sides of the Atlantic with his 2019 debut,
Southern Wind. Recorded in Nashville, the album reached Number 25 on the UK
Americana Chart and Number 4 on the US Alt-Country chart, paving the way for a
string of cross-country shows alongside fellow road warriors like Charley Crockett.
For Burrow — a lifelong explorer who'd spent his 20s on the move, chasing his muse
across most of America and Europe while rubbing shoulders with luminaries like Bob
Dylan and Dr. John — being so far away from home felt natural. Even so, he began
missing the stability of his new life back in Texas, where he'd built a family and gotten
sober. His second album, 2021's Dallas Burrow, marks both a symbolic and literal
homecoming for the songwriter, who recorded the new material with modern-day
legend Bruce Robison in the rural Texas countryside. It's a record about embracing
maturity and the responsibilities of family life, sung by Burrow in a voice that bears
both the road-worn weariness of a lifelong highwayman and the fierce fire of a man
reborn. -Andrew Leahey
