Denton has no shortage of excellent artists, but Doug Burr has sit somewhere near the top of any list documenting the North Texas music scene. With his mellow, plaintive moaning vocals and exceptional songwriting, he stands out from the already stellar pack. Burr has a new album that was recently released called The Shawl, which has converted (or perhaps restored) some Psalms to songs. “Should’ve Known,” though, is his own tune, which appeared on 2007’s stunning On Promenade. The video for the song was recently made by Jon Collins and James Hurd, and is certainly one of the higher quality videos we’ve seen in a while. So just in case you missed his show last night at Antone’s with Son Volt, here’s some incentive not let his next gig pass you by!
