Awesome CD from start to finish!
Borden's music encompasses all that has made country music "The White Man's Blues". From the "love in trouble" theme of "HOUSTON (WE HAVE A PROBLEM)to the suggestive
lyrics of "LOVE ME IN SPANISH", he proves himself an accomplished wordsmith as well as a materful musician. The evidence of the influence of the great honky tonk musicians of the past comes out in
almost every track. A unique combination - well worth the wait since his last release.
Picked up the cd last night. MSB sounds awesome just like always. First saw him at mean eyed cat in austin and have been a fan ever since. great cd!
Unencumbered by Nashville's misguided direction, MSB takes the road less traveled with his new album Burden of Proof. Almost haunted by the great hall-of-fame troubadours, his prowess for story-telling is delivered with a blend of his rough-hewn vocal instrument and electrifying Austin-influenced brand of guitar. From a personal tribulation betrayed in "Pictures" to a rapturous ballad, "Love me in Spanish" this collection is testament to his mastery of the song-wright's craft.
Great Texas country music! From the first track to the last, this CD will not dissapoint. You will be hearing alot from MSB & The Diesel Kings in the very near future.
