New York Times
A remarkable album. "Jim the Boy" moved Burch to write the
13 original songs that make up "Last of My Kind" and do far
more than echo what happens in the book. They take the story
of Jim Glass and enrich it, expand on it, one small gem begotten
by another. Washington Post One of the most promising singer
songwriter's on the cutting edge of country.
USA Today
Like the O'Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack, Burch not only
re-creates the folk ballad style of the Depression era on Last
of My Kind, he illuminates it.
Entertainment Weekly
Burch, whose elegant brand of old-time country has made him
a modern day Jimmie Rodgers, attempts a bold experiment...
remarkably transcendent.
Chicago Sun Times
Backed by one of the best bands on country music's cutting
edge, there is joyous timelessness here that should put the
big-hat Nashville crowd to shame.
Time Out New York
In concert, Burch is a robust entertainer who leads his band
with the gritty seductiveness of a seasoned pro
Music Row Magazine
Every night I say a prayer that rootsy, wonderful guys like
this will rise up and smite the evil pretenders to country
music stardom.
Associated Press
Hearing Pan-American Flash for the first time, it would be
easy to think you'd stumbled onto some lost classic of long
ago. London Times Blue Notes ought to be record of the year.
Excellent!
Time Out London
With a voice like crushed country velvet and a heart the size
of Earl Scrugg's hat, Burch's songs chill, tuck, nag, snag,
tickle and haunt.
Chicago Tribune
At last year's Old Town benefit, the Tribune was blown away
by Burch's beautifully understated performance.
BBC London
I doubt if anybody has written a more quietly beautiful song
than "Willpower" in the last few years. White country soul
at its finest. Blue Notes is gorgeous! A big contender for
album of the year
Newsday
The future of country music might look a lot like Paul Burch
who gave one of the best performances at CMJ.

Burch signals an emotional depth and resonance that few Nashville
albums of recent vintage can match. |
