Sam Burton's latest arrived like tomorrow's cult classic West Coast folk rock classic today, a secret handshake of a songwriter akin to Tucker Zimmerman, Michael Chapman or Bob Desper. Get in on one of the finest voices around. 

It’s hard to think of a single musician from the state of Utah
- a lamentable statistic that has recently been disproved by
the emergence of Sam Burton, an idiosyncratic young
voice that flowered in the land of salt flats, beehives and
bigamy and is now flourishing in Los Angeles, where he
has quickly made a name for himself.

Burton is the natural heir to a long line of unsung singer-
songwriters - such ‘downer folk’ troubadours as Bob
Desper, Dana Westover and Tucker Zimmerman - whose
recordings he weaned himself on at an impressionable
age. Following in the footsteps of the forgotten, and having
keenly absorbed the music of the ages, Burton has honed
his talent with passionate discipline. With his shadowy
baritone and subtly intricate picking, his carefully crafted
songs ooze rock hard resignation and melancholy
conviction, and he has arrived at a style that is both
timeless and deeply personal.

‘Fairweather Friend’ features production by Jonathan
Wilson (Father John Misty, Angel Olsen, Margo Price) in
Topanga and Echo Park and is influenced by the
environment of Los Angeles and Burton’s relationship to
his own heart and integrity.
