About Burrow:

When Texas music scion Charley Crockett declared Dallas Burrow to be "one of the finest songwriters to come out of Texas in this generation," many would agree that he's hit a sweet spot.

More than a dozen years into his acclaimed career, Burrow continues to carry the torch for a particular brand of storytelling pioneered by the Texas-born songwriters who came before him. That legacy shines through in his new album, The Way the West Was Won, released at the end of September 2025.

The New Braunfels native looks back and reimagines the tales from the trails of the outliers who came before him on a record that reads like a long-lost love letter to Texas.

Produced by Grammy Award-winner Lloyd Maines and recorded in just two days, it's a richly imaginative collection of cowboy songs, conjuring up a Wild West landscape of vaqueros and outlaws. It features guest appearances from Ray Wylie Hubbard, Kelly Willis, and Jim Lauderdale. This is music for campfires and trail rides, theaters and festival stages-and Burrow's delivery nods to influences like Townes Van Zandt, Willie Nelson, and Marty Robbins, as well as contemporaries like Charley Crockett and Vincent Neil Emerson.

He gives us the first taste of the new album with the impeccable single, "Disappearing Ink."

"This song, to me, captures the timeless essence and spirit of the archetypal dastardly drifter-charming, but dangerous," Dallas Burrow explains. "Whether it be in the Old West, current day, or in the distant future, I feel certain there will always be the occasional lone wolf character, roaming town to town in search of adventure, romance, and mischief. It also touches on the idea of there being an author of all things, and metaphorically refers to reality itself being the 'disappearing ink' that flows from God's pen, which, like the drifter, is here one second, and the next, it's gone."

"This track is a good example of my own fingerpicking guitar style," he says about the recording. "With an unorthodox rolling banjo added by Lloyd Maines, and stabbing fiddle work-this time by Robert Earl Keen's fiddle player, Brian Beken."

Burrow performs following the Texas vs. Texas A&M game at the Arc Light Sports Bar & Grill inside the Clarion Hotel at 441 Rio Concho Dr. in San Angelo on November 28, 2025. Tickets are available on Stubwire.
