Night Time Again (1999)

Op 4 mei 2012 in de Nix, Enschede. Hij heeft al een tijdje geen studio-album uitgebracht; deze uit 1999 is de 'album pick' bij Allmusic: "Burns presents the complete package of commercially appealing, blues-faithful tunes, mostly self-written. His guitar playing is economical but not sparse, tinged with excitable phrases but never over the top; the perfect cool, burning balance. Burns also has a fine band. Of these 14 cuts, 3 are some pretty convincing soul-blues à la Robert Cray. The easy rocker kicking off the CD, "No Consideration," has Burns at his emotional edge, frustrated by his woman, a great modern blues song. Burns changes up the program for the Major Lance hit "Monkey Time," and "1959 Revisited," a doo wop tribute with multi-part vocal harmonies and minimal guitar. This is a bluesman who has a style all his own, free of clichés and influences, with a controlled feeling for the blues that bubbles over when called upon. Highly recommended." (Michael G.
