"defiantly Texas-centric, but this work is also thoroughly American. It's about time Burns was heard beyond the Lone Star State."

- Buzz McLaine, The Washington Post

"bold and dramatic"

- Mario Tarradell, Dallas Morning News

"one of the strongest Western-based recordings I have heard in years"

- Tom Russell

"... a masterpiece. I am absolutely in love with it."

- Justin Frazell, KPLX 99.5 (The Wolf, Dallas)

"(Brian's) rich voice sounds like it came straight from the days of Jimmy Dean"

- Jennifer Webb, About.com Country Music Reviews

"The Eagle & The Snake ... belongs on the shelf of every Texan alive"

- David Pilot, Rockzilla
