(Click on underlined text for full articles/reviews, links, etc.) "These songs of Texas are also some of the best songs about America..." - Dan MacIntosh - Roughstock Reviews "This disc is bold and dramatic, melodic and contemplative, and presents Mr. Burns as much more than just another Texas country singer playing the honky-tonks." - Mario Tarradell, The Dallas Morning News "For me this was a nearly unbelievable discovery... now it's time for you to get it!" - Rootstown Music - Belgium "The Eagle & The Snake is defiantly Texas-centric, but this work is also thoroughly American. It's about time Burns was heard beyond the Lone Star State." - The Washington Post "The Eagle & The Snake is a lyrical and musical masterpiece. It is a CD you need in your collection, both for your own musical soul and for the tool you need to teach your children what music is really capable of. All musical preferences aside, this disc simply matters. It spans genres, it covers centuries and it paints a mural of Mythical Texas as backdrop for those who live and love and die in these harried times still inspired by those inimitable souls who carved a nation out of deserts and prairies so long ago." - Dave Pilot, Rockzilla Reviews "Brian's latest CD is a work of art!" - Mike Crow, KTFW "The Eagle & The Snake: Songs Of The Texians is one of the strongest Western-based recordings I have heard in years; takes me back to the classic material which inspired so much of my own writing. This should be required listening in Texas history classrooms...ah, hell, it should be required listening in classrooms, honky-tonks, radio stations, and theatres all over the world! - Tom Russell "From history to honky-tonk--from borderland ballads like Gallo del Cielo to his rambunctious and exhilarating Lone Star adaptation of I've Been Everywhere (in Texas), Brian Burns has served up a diverse and delectable platter of pure Tex-Mex." - J. R. Edmondson, Texas Historian, Author - The Alamo Story "The Eagle & The Snake: Songs Of The Texians comes forth with the flavor of a South Texas Cowboy drifting through time. Not only does Brian enhance the listener's pleasure with his obvious love of music, he manages to authenticate the feel of the eras of time in which these journeys take place. Well done, Amigo!" - Mark "The Landshark" Akins, Miss Lana's Texicana Central"The new Brian Burns CD is a masterpiece. I am absolutely in love with it." - Justin Frizzell, KPLX 99.5 The Wolf "I was driving through
Dallas last week and heard a track from The Eagle
& The Snake; I must say it sounded f***ing
fantastic!!!" -
