"FOUR **** STARS"
-Jorg Feyer, Rolling Stone, Ger.
"He's led the authentic outlaw life and you can
hear it in every note"
-Robert Loy, Country Standard Time
"Honest and often harsh, but so brilliantly
constructed and performed it'll blow you
completely away… Maybe radio doesn't
recognize that, but anyone who does
should give Billy Don a listen."
-Kathy Coleman, About.com
"Burns is about as courageous a writer as you'll find. Nothing is off limits. He confronts the worst and comes out okay. Billy Don Burns should be right up there on your list of country outlaws."
- John Heidt, Vintage Guitar Magazine
"I was there," Burns sings on his new album - and damned if he wasn't."
-Chris Neal, Nashville Scene

Heroes, Friends & Other Troubled Souls
Yes, Billy Don's new CD affirms that outlaw music is still alive and well in the 21st Century. Vocally adding to the Billy Don Burns declaration are Tanya Tucker, Willie Nelson and Hank Cochran amid an array of true-blue Nashville sessioners. Country fans will be comfortable with this well-interpreted great outlaw-ballad repertoire. Burns is one of the 'best-of-the-new-wine' on songs of emotion mixed with realism. By any classification, here's a hale and hearty plateful of original material in treacle-voiced styling. He could emerge as one of the true greats.
- 2004 Review - Paul Davis [British Author & Radio Programmer]
