Heartland & soul

" ... a fun album which does a spectacular job of effortlessly synthesizing genres, mixing funk, soul, blues and rock together. Lots of artists do this, but Burt's trick is writing and performing songs that seamlessly encompass all four styles. Adding to the fun is Burt's soulful blues voice, that perfectly drives each and every track ... repeated plays reveal a band that's doing a lot of cool things, from funky rhythm guitar to 50s-style piano to drums that are always pushing the track in just the right way. Heartland and Soul is the debut release from an artist drawing upon a lot of experience, and the result is a well-crafted album that everyone should hear".

" ... he entered the Blues Foundation's 34th International Blues Challenge at the Orpheum Theatre and won in multiple categories of piano, guitar, vocals and harmonica. His backing band sounds fantastic and makes Heartland & Soul a hearty and soulful effort indeed ... Burt is a serious songwriter who knows how to craft music to fit his personality, and no one delivers this brand of music better than he does. After listening to Heartland & Soul, one should have no problem seeing why he took all the top honors at the blues competition - this guy is a real winner".
