The Burnlackers have a maturity and polish that doesn't turn up too often in a scene filled with college kids who just picked up their instruments. Here's a pop band with country instrumentation and a bluesy singer; somehow, it all works. Ms. Sara Temple has a fantastic voice that recalls Bonnie Raitt and Lone Justice's Maria McKee. Just listen to "Taken," the Loretta Lynn-meets-Sonny Boy Williamson track that opens the band's five-song tape Laughter, and see if you don't agree. No phone number.
