Jacob McCoy Burton, the 24-year-old Texan was gifted his first guitar at an early age, but for Burton, what molded him into a musician largely remains a mystery. “I’m not exactly sure how I got here, or what made me want to make music,” he says.
-
Perhaps Burton’s music, and more specifically his distinct brand of Americana, is innate. Jacob was raised in Amarillo—a place where the kicked-up dust ruins the finish of your car, and the dirt supplants itself under your fingernails at an early age. It is “red dirt country,” or the land where iron oxide turns the soil red—and just maybe it’s the clay from that earth that has been molding Jacob’s songs all along.
-
Burton admits he has no family musical history, but credits his father, also an Amarilloan, for introducing him to outlaw country pioneers like Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and Waylon Jennings.
-
Burton's new EP, Hold The Line, due out March 10th, is his first. Yet only the most astute listener could detect any trace of inexperience. This emotive and meticulously crafted body of songs exudes a certain wise and weathered quality, far beyond Burton's years, and at moments is even sage-like in its lyrical message.
