Discography
"Feels Like Home" - released 2013
After 30 years of playing electric guitar and writing songs for a full band, Kevin "Barrelhouse" Burke was inspired by a trip to Mississippi to explore fingerstyle acoustic guitar techniques. Feels Like Home is the result of four years of playing and writing in this style. The songs on this album give the listener the feeling of pre-World War II rural America, with its dirt roads, farms, pickup trucks, roadhouses, and the trials of everyday life. From simple songs such as the title track and Bridge To Cross through complex instrumentals to slide work on a Dobro, a variety of moods are evoked.
