Keith Burton and his beef curtain - The passion of the burton
Reviewed: 7th March 2006
Keith Burton and His Beef Curtain sounds like David Gray would if he grew up listening to Dr. Demento’s radio show. Current affairs (tenuously) and social commentary (even more tenuously) make up the rough topics for his wordplay, set to stripped down acoustics and some occasional frought Casio backing.
The Send More Paramedics cover and opening track ‘Cannibal’ is, to be frank, inspired. Most quickly become singalong necessities within a couple of listens with the remix of ‘Alcoholic Lesbian Vet’ and ‘Breville in disguise’ being two other outstandingly funny ones.
Overall, it’s definitely worth buying and if you want to see the way us northern monkeys look at life through bizarrely-tinted glasses and with several tongues planted in numerous cheeks, you’ll probably want this as well. There’s nothing out there quite like the Burton and you’ll come to relish that.

"The Passion of the Burton' is Wakefield's comedy music cabaret impressionario Keith Burton's debut full length cd. Think half man half biscuit meets benny hill or richard digence meets prince. featuring the furious polka beat of his send more paramedics zombie cover 'cannibal', the classic chav anthem 'hoodrats' and a house version of live favourite 'alcoholic lesbian vet'. spectacular arrangements and well honed melodies from west yorkshire's new lyrical hero."
(Rough Trade)
"Keith Burton's album slips, like a clown into big trousers, into that high-risk 'comedy-pop' category stuffed to the gunnels with records that you would never listen to again, unless someone came round who hadn't heard it. Granted, it's well crafted, the odd joke is amusing and there are a couple of half decent tunes but, in the same way you politely inform someone when they crack the same gag twice, Keith's quips don't need a second airing. Essentially it's the musical equivalent of Little Britain, funny at first but tires quickly.
Even the titter-worthy lyrical re-working of The Cure's 'Love Cats', probably the high point here, only has a limited shelf-life and while The Passion of the Burton is more Goldie Lookin' Chain than 'The Stonk', its silly and occasionally puerile musings wear thin faster than you can say 'poor man's Half Man Half Biscuit'."
At least he/she listened to it, but i bet he/she has a small wi*ly/fa*ny and is just letting his/her frustrations out. (Don Kiddick)
Keith has just made this video for ALcoholic Lesbian Vet.
