Singer-songwriter-multi-instrumentalist Kevin Burgess offers up a

set of spirited originals on his latest CD The Real Place that

incorporates the best of Americana, roots, country, pop and rock in the

vein of folks like Delbert McClinton and John Hiatt. Employing musical

guests Kevin Barry on guitar and lap steel, Perry Desmond-Davies on

vocals, Eric Kilburn on guitar mandolin & weisenborn, Greg Loughman on

bass and Mike Connors on drums, Burgess steers the proceedings with

qualified weathered vocals and life-affirming prose along with some

tasteful guitar work from Kevin Barry and the tight rhythm work of Greg

Loughman and Mike Connors.

The Real Place is great listening material and songs like the

beautifully emotive "Together In A Song," the chiming "Alone Together,"

the uplifting "Monday Morning," and the rock & roll bounce of "Show

Some Love" appoint Burgess as one of Boston's finest storytellers. Good

stuff! [D.S.]

KEVIN BURGESS Project

Put Yourself Out there

"Singer -songwriter-guitarist-saxophonist Kevin Burgess delivers a diverse recording of original songs on his new album PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE.This is not your typical 4 chord rock and roll drivel but a well planned CD that incorporates an amalgam of styles from funk to country folk with a dash of island and middle eastern tempos fueled by Burgess' tastefull saxophone work.A stable of fine musicians includes bassist Greg Loughman,drummer Mike Connors,Singer Lori Diamond,singer(and daughter) Sofia Burgess,Djembe bongo player(and daughter) Gabrielle Burgess,and Eric Kilburn handling the mandolin,weissenborn,and guitar chores as well as recording ,mixing and mastering the sessions.

With a flair for the big picture,Burgess spins a handfull of hits in "littlebird",the middle eastern flavored "stuck".the funky R&B flavoring of "screamin",the fusionesque "so Beautifull", and the gorgeously composed and arranged "mothers love"(sadly ,Burgess' mother passed away during the recording of this project) Contacts http://WWW.myspace.com/kevinburgessprojects
