WARREN BURNS - "Burn Again" LPWarren Burns Burn Again LP (San Huevos, 2026) Traditionally grounded, soulful, sincerely moving loner cowboy songwriting outfit with an instant classic feel, fronted by Danny Fischer of long running Kansas City rock unit Nature Boys. This is no frills, no irony, no unnecessarily "quirky" schtick, just tear in yer beer country crooning from a real deal dude who's in it for life. Long may he BURN!

One thing Straw Man Army shares with Kaleidoscope is a sense of rhythmic sophistication and inventiveness

where he became enamored of rock 'n' roll and R&B

Serving not only as a natural stepping stone from the dumpster-fi fog of a Jad Fair-fronted Screeching Weasel tape boiled to perfection in a roadside hotel tub exhibited on recent tour trinkets

I am overwhelmed with joy

genre-defying music to a wider audience

Rhythmic patterns hint but never falling into predictable repetition

and vice versa (the trick can only work both ways)

A pure hippie aesthetic

Jeugdbrand is his second entry in the Edições CN catalogue

although their recordings were only released after they'd ceased operation in 1979

appears as totally original and extreme in his conception
