Two days of intense inspiration were as long as it took Texas-born songwriter Dallas Burrow to record his latest album, The Way the West Was Won. Experience must play some part in it. Burrow got his first guitar at age ten, inspired by both his father’s own playing and songwriting. However, his career as a musician can be said to have started some twelve years ago, a period which has brought forth a series of EPs and studio albums, as well as live recordings, music videos and plenty of live shows. Burrow is a busy man, balancing family duties, extensive touring and duties as proprietor of the Redbird Listening Room in his hometown of New Braunfels, Texas. So if experience has influenced his latest album’s confident sound, discipline must surely factor into it too.
