Jonny Burke's "Distance & Fortune" - Produced by Marc Ford!

For those who aren't already aware, one of Marc Ford's latest production credits is the smokin' Distance and Fortune by up and coming artist Jonny Burke. The album features ten tracks of vintage-sounding rock that has been gaining a great deal of positive press since its release earlier this year (see below).

"Jonny Burke does it just the way you like it," notes Ford. "Simple and genuine.”

"(His) songs provide hope that true songwriting and honest music have not been lost after all," notes Ryan Bingham, Grammy Award-winning musician and Ford-produced artist.

Right now, you can purchase Distance and Fortune via BandCamp for $5 USD and we suggest you do - just look at what people are saying about this record:

"That keening, lilting voice is what hooks the listener… the guitar trade-off between Burke and producer Marc Ford is dynamite… an engaging, impression-making debut… 4 1/2 stars (out of 5)" – Austin Music and Entertainment

"3 stars (out of 4)." - LA Daily News
"Distance and Fortune frequently haunts the Stones celebrated Exile era…a distinct tone both timely and timeless, a musical call toward the future with eyes doubling down on the past." -Texas Music

"The bottom line is Burke is a gifted writer…he not only knows what he’s doing, he’s doing it with literate grit." - San Antonio Express News

"…backed by revved-up Chuck Berry licks that would make the New York Dolls proud…and poetic resignation worthy of John Prine…Distance and Fortune has a literate pulse but beats with a rock & roll heart." - The Austinist

So don't wait any longer...get Jonny Burke's Distance and Fortune now!
