COUNRY FOLK SINGER/SONG WRITER FINDS INSPIRTION IN AMERICAN GRAFFETI
“Jesus Saves” written in American graffiti is a winner” says Loyd Burleson, referring to his new inspirational, country folk CD. “I got the idea for a song when I kept seeing “Jesus Saves” graffiti on buildings, sidewalks, and trains” Loyd reflects, “and I decided to call the album “Jesus Saves”. It is a beautiful blend of country folk, with a touch of inspiration. “American graffiti, it’s written on a box car door. I saw it on a sidewalk, in Portland, Oregon. And in the Salt Lake dessert, on an old building I did find, the words, “Jesus Saves”, so I put it in this rhyme.”
Loyd, a resident of Cleveland,Texas many years ago, recalls being a teenager and going to church. His late uncle, Tommy Hamilton, was a preacher in Cleveland Texas, and Loyd sings about it in the 2nd song on the album, “Church down the Road”. Loyd says “As a teenager, I remember attending church with the Hamilton family which gave me the inspiration in writing this song; “I was just a teen age boy, when I felt that gospel joy, when that little country choir began to sing, when the roll is called up yonder, and the time shall be no more, then everybody sing, I’ll fly away”,
Loyd, now residing in Centerville, Utah, credits his experiences growing up in East Texas and Arizona. “I have much to draw from in my childhood experiences,” says Loyd.
In this CD, Loyd sings and plays the acoustic guitar. He is backed up by a pedal steel guitar. His great finger picking and the pedal steel give the songs a beautiful blend.
The third song on the album, “Never Dimmed the Light in My Mama’s Eyes”, Loyd remembers living in rural Cleveland when there wasn’t any electricity and their light source was kerosene lamps. In the song he
sings “dark was the night with a kerosene light, but it never dimmed the light in my mama’s eyes”. “We were pretty poor in those days”, Loyd recalls. My dad worked in the pulp wood and did some trapping for mink and coons. But living that life style gives me experiences I wouldn’t otherwise have had. It also helps to have a greater appreciation.
Loyd has just completed another album called “Tangled in My Fishing Line” to be released in 09. This album, features Loyd and his brother,
Lawrence, teaming up for some good pickin’ and harmony.
Loyd is currently working on two new albums; one, an inspirational, the other, a type of soul music, swamp style. Loyd has at least four types of genre and can sing anything from pop to country, as this CD will attest. Loyd’s favorite, is country/folk. These albums are to be released later in ’09.
