Paul Burch's thoroughly modern yet instantly classic songs have attracted fans from Rock to Bluegrass for over two decades. His new album Cry Love, produced with GRAMMY winners Dennis Crouch and Fats Kaplin, features Burch's longtime band The WPA Ballclub. In 2025, Burch released his debut novel, Meridian Rising (U. Georgia Press), inspired by the life of music legend Jimmie Rodgers which deftly blends fact and fiction to create a vibrant tale worthy of the Mississippi-born entertainer Howling Wolf called “my man that I really dug.” Music critic Greil Marcus calls Meridian Rising a “a book of wonders.” And acclaimed biographer Paul Hendrickson says Burch's story weaves "a kind of vernacular Huck Finn sleight-of-hand prose magic."
Burch's discography includes collaborations with artists from across styles including Mark Knopfler, Waco Brothers, R&B legend Candi Staton, Lambchop, Billy Bragg, and Ralph Stanley. In addition, Burch's Nashville studio has served as a workshop for artists like Tim O'Brien, Garry Tallent (E Street Band), William Tyler, Robyn Hitchcock, and David Berman (Silver Jews). “I'm a Paul Burch fan. How could I not be?” says lauded music critic Peter Guralnick. "His music never fails to achieve what Sun Records founder Sam Phillips deemed the purpose of every kind of music: to lift up, to intensify the spirit of audience and musicians alike. Listen to the music. Every time it offers the possibility that this may be the best one yet. "
