On Episode 211, I'm joined by Texas singer-songwriter Dallas Burrow. This past summer, Burrow released his latest full-length, the country and folk rambler Blood Brothers. With fellow Texan songwriter/producer Jonathan Tyler at the producing helm, Burrow continues establishing himself as a vivid storyteller with a knack for delivering a compelling, hearty punch. "Motel 6" is a road-weary charmer that'll fill your coffee cup for the drive back home. Songs like the wistful "Starry Eyes," haunting honky tonking "Out My Window," and the sad country waltzer "A Lot of It Was" showcase Burrow's (and Tyler's) dynamics as storyteller and bandleader. Still, the crisp title track "Blood Brothers," a certified Texas epic built on lore, adventure, heritage, and everlasting oaths, is perhaps Burrow's greatest moment.

During this episode, we talk about writing "Blood Brothers," covering Townes Van Zandt, working with Jonathan Tyler, and becoming buddies with the likes of Texas legend Willis Alan Ramsey.
