Ed Burleson

Ed Burleson is one of them folks who can't help but be country -- and, more than that, Texas country. You could say it's in his blood, type TX-positive. A sixth-generation Texan, he's the direct descendant and namesake of Gen. Edward Burleson, a commander at the Battle of San Jacinto and the first vice president of the Republic of Texas. The country singer and songwriter from Lewisville more or less grew up on the back of a horse, as his barrel-chested workhorse physique reveals. But after a couple of years on the professional rodeo circuit, he was almost literally thrown by a horse onto the terra firma of the honky-tonk stage. It all reads like the ideal résumé for a country singer, especially one from Texas. Add to that his boyish-man's charm, unfeigned aw-shucks modesty, a voice carved from live oak, and a saddlebag of smart and sincere songs, and Burleson would appear to be prime material for Music Row. Burleson's music doesn't sound like much of what they call country these days, but like what they used to call country and still do around certain parts. So even though today's Nashville can't really cotton to what Burleson offers, that hasn't stopped him from also winning over to his cause some fairly heavy hitters in the West Coast music business.
