Rice and Beans 04:01
lyrics
Rice and beans cookin' on the stove satisfy my soul. Last night i did it to myself i couldn't stand the rain. Last night i did that for myself got no one else to blame. Rice and beans cookin' on the stove satisfy my soul. Sunday morning soon come help me carry on. Sunday morning you came to help me ease the pain.

Feast or Famine 04:47
lyrics
Feast or Famine flood or drought he can't find in-between on or off it's all or nothing that's the way he's always been. But if it's love she's thinking of he's putting up no resistance and as circumstances change he's giving without condition. Feast or Famine flood or drought she can't find in-between up or down it's ever changing that's the way she's always been But if it's love he's thinking of she's putting up no resistance and as circumstances change she's giving without condition. Feast or famine flood or drought we can't find in-between just an easy come today and then a rocky road tomorrow that's the way it's always been. But if it's love you're thinking of i'm putting up no resistance and as circumstances change i'm giving without condition.

Burnt Foundation 05:12
lyrics
Could have been a four cornered room could have been a teepee too might have been a-shiver in a van down by the river just a place to rest awhile make we a pot o' soul just a pile of sticks and stone still the place that i call home a bamboo hut on a burnt foundation big enough for our relation if i get rich i'm gonna buy for you a bamboo house and the island too. Five years later with a lady friend still the time has just begun washing, wishing, snuggle too all the things i do with you just a place to gather in we clean the mess then we do it again just a box of flesh and bone still the place that i call home a bamboo hut on a burnt foundation big enough for our relation if i get rich i'm gonna buy for you a bamboo house and the island too. Pick we up, we moving again so the landlord says we'll i've never been so blessed to have so many strong-back friends it's just a place to hang your hat come make we start anew if you'll be there i'm not alone that's the reason i call you home.

Something for the Lovers 04:36
lyrics
i have lived to see one-thousand pretty faces i have played upon the sands of Mexico i have climbed onto the mountain and swam the river wide so i could see the future shining in your eyes in your eyes my darling now this is our moment when the promise of your lips is all i know when the whole wide world is open i'll be ready hold me tighter little darling don't let go. i have lived to see one-thousand better places i have trod upon bare feet and fancy shoes i have swam into the ocean and climbed the mountain high just to see the future shining in your eyes in your eyes my darling now this is our moment when the promise of your lips is all i know when the whole wide world is open i'll be ready hold me tighter little darling don't let go.

Sunnyside 06:52
lyrics
Smile big and nice bright fun like the Amazonian sun cooler than a popsicle hotter feel the fire flicker soon come The moon stomper wolf rider fire warrior up-steady vibe through the night we be on the sunnyside stereo eyes seen sight in an outer-national time breathe in levity heavy as gravity i and i hard rain does fall inside through the open window i know harder than a stone wall sharper than a dagger y'all reggae soul time to unite all-one Fear the Big Asteroid come down boom like a dancer become the Master Blaster begone so long

about

In early 2012 Burnt launched a successful Kickstarter campaign to help fund our first professionally engineered recording project. The result is our 6th album of original music, entitled "Radio Quemado" (which means Burnt Radio in Spanish).

As a band we are so grateful for the opportunity to have recorded in the world-class Old School Studio (Caspar, CA) with engineer Calvin "Crash" Turnbull. Being in this studio feels like moving through a beautifully curated vintage instrument museum. It is a very, very special place. We therefore decided to invite the most talented musicians we know to join us in the experience.

The rhythm tracks were recorded in just 3 days. Danny (Guitar, Vox), Matt (Bass) and Rob (Drums) were joined by the incomparable Ryan Tomazin (of The Debonaires), who laid down beautiful Hammond Organ and upright Piano on almost every track. The band was guided through these sessions by co-producer Chris Baca, who also helped produce Burnt's first two albums: Chorro (2005) and Esperanza (2006).

Radio Quemado also features performances from the horn section of The Debonaires (Riverside, CA). The contributions of Tom Cook (Trombone and keys), Marques Crews (trumpet) and Dave Sakover (Sax and Clarinet) add a tremendous amount of depth and energy to Radio Quemado. Although some horns were recorded at the Old School Studio, a good portion were engineered and recorded by Tom Cook at his home studio in Riverside. The quality of those tracks is a testament to Tom's multi-talented musicianship.

For lead guitar (also recorded in Riverside), the band turned to their friend and Minister of Burn, the legendary Joe Ransom. His unmistakable tasty licks and searing solos give the album tremendous dimension.

The album also features a self-recorded guest vocal (track 6, Bandito) from underground hip-hop guru Karmic Basis!

Because of the tremendous amount of hard work and dedication from all people involved with the project-- from our Kickstarter backers to the musicians-- Radio Quemado was finally released on the last day of June 2012. We are very thankful as a band to be able to offer these tunes to new listeners as well as to our fans.

MoreLove,

Burnt
