High Blood and Long Evening Dresses

from Doug Burr - O Ye Devastator by Spune

about

Taken from the forthcoming Doug Burr record, O Ye Devastator.

"One of the most criminally overlooked performers working in the state, never mind North Texas." - Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Paste Magazine Claimed Burr a 'Top 4 to Watch'. - "Exquisitely detailed, slow and deliberate"

"Burr evokes distinctive voices such as Wilco's Jeff Tweedy or Red House Painters' Mark Kozelek. These warm, inviting compositions are effortlessly beautiful."- Ft. Worth Weekly

"Doug Burr delivers enough heartbreak to drive you to the edge of the bridge, and just enough hope to keep you from jumping. Rugged and pristine, this is music that gets under your skin and goes straight for the heart like a shot of morphine." - Real Roots Cafe, Holland

"Burr shares an intrinsic knowledge of song dynamics with the likes of Jeff Tweedy, and has a voice that tugs at the heart strings. Brilliant! " - Americana UK

lyrics

I don’t recall what your name is, my doll
Only the snow in the valley keeps fallin'
I might remember, but this is December
I don’t recall what your name is, darlin'

Chorus: So why don’t you come like a thief on the doorstep
Carry me back to the Quadrille in Knoxville
Oh, hey old Line Caller, a new silver dollar
I in my high blood and long evening dresses

Breathtaker, Devastator, Forsaker, Heartbreaker
I don’t know fear, and I don’t know pain
Oh, rider, whiter than snow on fire
I don’t remember the sound of the name
