NPR Song of the Day 'Honey Blue'
Thank goodness for Paul Burch's fumbling fingers: The latter-day honky-tonk artist accidentally erased the finished take of his song "Honey Blue," so he put an earlier version on his new album, Still Your Man. As a result, the track has an earthy, impromptu feel, as if a bunch of talented musicians just wandered into a studio — in this case, a converted Nashville garage — and began jamming.

Boston Herald
An infectious blend of classic honky-tonk and ’50s-era rhythm and blues. It’s imbued with an uncanny melodic sense and crack musicianship. Compared to the shiny, cookie-cutter pop churned out by Nashville’s Music Row these days, Burch’s sound is a blast of authentic country soul.

Hurst Review
After more than a decade in the game, Burch is still our man, and he’s only now hitting his peak. Burch remains a true original, and the triumphant title of his seventh album, Still Your Man, serves as a fine self-review. His new collection delivers on a decade’s worth of promise– it’s an album that tops anything he’s ever done without veering too far from the rest of his canon. The songs sound impossibly timeless, and their simplicity is profound. It’s a thoroughly modern record made without regard for what being “modern” might actually mean.

E Music
The modernity stems from Burch writing sophisticated original material rather than rehashing simple staples and when he pushes the edges of his voice on "Please Send for Me," he reaches a soulful fever without breaking the record's smooth tone.

American Songwriter
One of Burch’s finest efforts to date, replete with precise musicianship backing up honest-to-goodness songwriting.

Philadelphia Inquirer
A vivid, loose and immediate album and his most soulful work yet.

All Music
Still Your Man is Burch's most compelling collection of songs yet. It would be easy to take this 14-song set track by track, but it would be an injustice in a sense because it would deny the listener the pleasure. There are many twists and turns in this collection, little touches that add so much delight and surprise in the experience of hearing it. It couldn't have arrived at any other time in music history.

Creative Loafing:
Like all of his work with the stellar WPA Ballclub, Paul Burch's music is steeped in the glory days of Memphis and Nashville without sounding like some preserved Smithsonian Folkways relic. Meaning that if you've got the narrative goods, which the Nashville native has in spades the old-school country-blues and soul warhorses are just as fecund songwriting territory as they ever were. Burch's new one, Still Your Man, is out on local imprint Ramseur Records and, for my money, trumps everything on it.

UNCUT (UK) ***** (5 Stars!)
UNCUT says: "The songwriting--disarming, guileless, evocative--is so faultless you wish Sam Cooke would rise from the grave to cover Burch's love song Fallin' "
