Synopsis

Amazon.com
You've got your Nashville country, and you've got your alternative country. And then you've got your real country. Ed Burleson, a young singer-songwriter from Lewisville, Texas, represents the latter tribe, which still gathers in well-hidden Texas dance halls to perform traditional two-steppin' rituals involving dim lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud music. My Perfect World, Burleson's national debut for Doug Sahm's Tornado label, features Burleson's originals next to songs by Jim Lauderdale and coproducer Clay Blaker (both frequent contributors to the George Strait catalogue). Guitarist Bill Kirchen, fiddler Alvin Crow, and pedal-steel guitarist Lloyd Maines help out with the twang factor. There's nothing real innovative going on here, but if you've been looking for the kind of authentic honky-tonk soul that's been banished from today's Hot Young Country, you might want to pay a visit to Burleson's Perfect World. --Rick Mitchell

"I heard Ed Burleson one night on TV. Man I throught thie guy KNOWS country. Steel and fiddles you can't beat it. To bad hedoes not go on tour with George Strait. But it you won't go wrong."
PURE TEXAS

"Next to George strait, no other singer since Bob Wills has captured Texas music so clealy and so directly. This is a must for any serious country music lover. Have seen this artist in person and listened on CD. No difference. Just pure Texas."
Filled with Texas twang, steel and fiddles

"I play this CD so much it will wear out soon. Do you long for real country-western music? This is the genuine article. Where Nashville continues to get it all wrong, Texas continues to get it all right. Ed Burleson's charming Texas twang is sincere, high-energy, and pulls you in instantly. He hooks you from the first moment you listen to him sing. "No Tears" is great...Goin' Home To Texas" is fabulous...all the songs are great. And with Lloyd Maines on steel and the rest of these musicians who play real country music, there is no way you could lose with this CD. You will want to two-step the night away with this one. BUY IT!"
