Ed Burleson's "My Perfect World" is real country as in Dwight Yoakum or George Jones or Mark Chestnutt; not the new "folky" country of The Boys in the Backroom and Cisco. We need a scale to rate these cds.
It's sad that in a Country music world dominated by Nashville and the radio industry, a true-to-the-bone Country artist like Burleson should be labeled "throwback" or his music disclaimed as "real" country. It's the co-opters in contemporary Country who should take on the extra adjectives, and music like Burleson's should be left alone to be called Country, period. Burleson's debut for (the late) Doug Sahm's Tornado shows just how strong a genre Country music is, and how little it needs the machinations of modernized production and pop genuflection to be effective. Burleson's originals, and covers of titles by Jim Lauderdale, (producer) Clay Baker, and Doug Sahm cover many traditional Country bases, backed by twangy steel (courtesy of Lloyd Maines) and fiddle, stellar lead guitar from the likes of ex-Lost Planet Airman Bill Kirchen, and plenty of rhythm for a two-step around the honky-tonk. The sting of Bakersfield telecasters add extra energy. Burleson's twangy vocals take on a number of different classic (there's those adjectives again!) flavors. Perhaps most surprisingly are the occasional hints of stylists like Garth Books (in his least guarded and most Country moments). It makes one wonder where artists like Brooks would have ended up if they hadn't gotten famous. From the CD's demure cover photo a casual buyer might dismiss this as another handsome Nashville hat act, but the contents will quickly set you straight. Recorded in Floresville, TX, this is truely music of the heartland. Fans of Jack Ingram or the Robison brothers should check this out.
I have been a long time fan/friend of the co-producer on this album (Clay Blaker) and knowing what he likes and how hard he strives in his talent you can really see it here with ED. It has been a while since I have heard true Texas Back woods honky tonk music.Thank goodness its back in this young man. The song selection is awesome, little of everything from a good 2 step to a fantastic waltz. I especially love Going Back To Texas , what more could you ask for. Buy this album people , you will not be disappointed.
An extraordinary debut by this Texas-bred indiebilly firebrand, aided by an extraordinary cast of musicians -- Tommy Alverson, Clay Blaker, Alvin Crow, Bill Kirchen and Lloyd Maines are among the old-timers who pitch in to give this disc a rich, full, rural sound that'll pin back the ears of any hardcore honkytonk fan in search of for-real country music in these times of push-button, pretty-boy Nashville pop. Those Texas twin fiddles waft up amid the pedal steel and Merle Haggard-style guitars; here's an indiebilly album that has grand ambition, and lives up to it on every song. A nice mix of weepers and honkytonk tunes -- Burleson doesn't have a killer voice, but he's got real country soul, and that counts for a lot. Most of all, the calibre of songwriting and performances by the band are both quite impressive. Most of the songs on here are Burleson originals, and it's always nice to hear someone adding new stuff to the tradition. Four of the other cuts were written by Jim Lauderdale, and Burleson seems to have a nice feel for his idiosyncratic composing style. There are rough edges, to be sure -- Burleson's vocals might not be for everyone -- but, hey, isn't that kind of the point? If you miss the hazy, crazy days of the 1970s, when great bands with small budgets ruled the earth, then this disc will seem like a nostalgic blast from the past... And if you missed out on that kinda sound the first time 'round, be thankful that folks like Burleson are here to keep the flame alive.

I play this CD so much it will wear out soon. Do you long for real country-western music? This is the genuine article. Where Nashville continues to get it all wrong, Texas continues to get it all right. Ed Burleson's charming Texas twang is sincere, high-energy, and pulls you in instantly. He hooks you from the first moment you listen to him sing. "No Tears" is great...Goin' Home To Texas" is fabulous...all the songs are great. And with Lloyd Maines on steel and the rest of these musicians who play real country music, there is no way you could lose with this CD. You will want to two-step the night away with this one. BUY IT!

If you like REAL country music, not the kind you can't distinguish from soft pop, this album is for you. Lots of steel guitar and fiddle (including some double fiddles), no string sections or little-girl-voice choruses on this one. If you are station-hopping and hear a cut off this one, you know you have a country-music station (not that this probably ever gets played on "country" radio stations).
