Burnt Notes is the debut single from the Boston, Massachusetts singer-songwriter and guitarist Doully Yang, who never looked back from his obsession with the fretboard mastery of Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Johnson, and Pat Martino. He used those ironically evocative licks to push himself into his songwriting career; the airwaves are infinitely more dulcet for it.
His signature style finds itself between the realms of blues, rock, and jazz; the colourful staccato chops lend themselves blissfully to melodicism as they act as the perfect accompaniment to his distinctively harmonic vocals, which ardently ring across the tranquil ease of the saturated delayed tones.
Burnt Notes is now available to stream on Spotify.
