Paul Burch & The WPA Ballclub: Paul Burch (vocals, guitar, echo harp, organ, vibraphone, drums); Ranger Doug (guitar, background vocals); George Bradfute (baritone guitar); Paul Niehaus (lap steel & slide guitars, sitar, background vocals); Raymond McClain (banjo, fiddle, background vocals); Dennis Crouch (acoustic bass); Ken Loggains (drums); Deanna Varagona (background vocals).
Additional personnel: Greg Stearns (guitar); Hank Tilbury (background vocals).
The Bag Boys: Bob Chabot (guitar, harmonica, background vocals); Paul Jost (acoustic bass, background vocals).
Producers: Hank Tilbury, Paul Burch, Paul Niehaus.
Recorded at Studio W and Tone Chaparall, Nashville, Tennessee.
Though he hails from the arty environs of Lambchop, Paul Burch's solo work is far more traditional-sounding. The songs on his second album WIRE TO WIRE sound like they could have been recorded in 1958 Nashville instead of 1998 Nashville, making Robbie Fulks sound like Van Halen. Though the instrumentation is largely acoustic, the crack band Burch assembled (which includes some Lambchop cohorts) is anything but mellow. The overall feel is one of Texas swing mixed with bluegrass and honky-tonk, with percolating, down-home grooves supporting Burch's solid country songsmithery. For those who lean more to the "alt" side of alt-country, WIRE TO WIRE is highly recommended.
