Album Release for Song of the Bricoleur

TICKETS

“Bricoleur” is the French term that refers to someone who patches together what they can with what they have on hand and creates something new from the parts and pieces of what is broken or no longer useful. I think that’s what we are all doing, both personally and in the culture as a whole. In fact, it could be said that we’ve been doing that in the modern world ever since the 1790’s when people decided they could “invent” a new form of government. So, “bricoleur” can have a pretty expansive meaning. All that to say, I feel this is an important idea to popularize right now – that we have agency and are, as my song says, “making it up as we go.”

Rags Rosenberg writes Mythopoetic Folk-Rock in the tradition of the songwriter-poets he admires: Cohen, Dylan and Waits to name a few.

A Texas-born Americana artist rooted in the tradition of his home state’s songwriting
heroes, Dallas Burrow built a career on both sides of the Atlantic with his 2019 debut,
Southern Wind. Recorded in Nashville, the album reached Number 25 on the UK
Americana Chart and Number 4 on the US Alt-Country chart, paving the way for a
string of cross-country shows alongside fellow road warriors like Charley Crockett.

For Burrow — a lifelong explorer who’d spent his 20s on the move, chasing his muse
across most of America and Europe while rubbing shoulders with luminaries like Bob
Dylan and Dr. John — being so far away from home felt natural. Even so, he began
missing the stability of his new life back in Texas, where he’d built a family and gotten
sober. His second album, 2021’s Dallas Burrow, marks both a symbolic and literal
homecoming for the songwriter, who recorded the new material with modern-day
legend Bruce Robison in the rural Texas countryside. It’s a record about embracing
maturity and the responsibilities of family life, sung by Burrow in a voice that bears
both the road-worn weariness of a lifelong highwayman and the fierce fire of a man
reborn. -Andrew Leahey
