Rich Burnett carves a fresh and welcome take on the classic folk/country sounds of the early 70's. With a sweet and mellow tone, Burnett's music sometimes bares shades of early blues, or can roll along with a beatlesque bounce. An accomplished guitarist, Burnett finds ways to blend these influences tastefully making his newest album, Not So Blue, a striking piece of modern roots Canadiana.
hey rich! how's the house? all finished... almost kindda maybe? i saw lindsay walk by the store while i was in the front window yesterday, but i realized it too late to wave... actually i waved to the back of her head because i am awkward that way. please tell her i say "hello". (boy can i digress!) anyway, i was just on myspace and thought i'd prove i still existed. ta-da! don't forget to let me know if anything opens up @ 6:30 this summer, i'd love to learn some more insanely simple tunes. take care!
