Last week's video ending in a very wintery way, compounded by some cold miserable weather on the home front to start 2026. I think I have a possible antidote for you.
Also I'm planning once a month to feature an artist or band I've only just discovered. Starting today with The Burros.
The group were formed in the early 1990s when singer songwriters John Harvey, Bob Pereira and Steve Farley came together in Detroit. Their music has a warm and sunny feel like it's always summer. Their LP 'Homestead' from 1995 is full of love songs and the formula works [vocals, chorus, break, vocals, playout].
From the opening Byrds like Eagles intro to 'She Knows How' there's a good easy feeling about it as it rolls along, and you just know the guitar break is coming (3 minutes in) and returns before it disappears off down the road.
I hope this track warms you up, for at least 5 minutes anyway, unless you hit replay of course or even listen to the rest of the album on YouTube.
I can recommend 'Her Heart Decides' (typical Burros), 'Lean Into Me' (jangles along), 'Perfect Time' (pedal steel & piano), actually the whole album. (Click link)
The Burros are as follows:
Guitar, Vocals – Bob Pereira & John Harvey
Bass Guitar, vocals, Twelve-String Guitar – Joe Lambert
Drums – Bill Harvey & Nino Dmytryszyn
Guitar – Tim Diaz
Keyboards – Christian Codish
Pedal Steel Guitar – Bobby East
