Michael “Iron Man” Burks (michaelburks.com) earned his moniker by his hours-long, intensely physical performances, fearsome guitar attack, and tough, smoky vocals. Burks is a true modern blues hero. Nobody in today’s blues world successfully bridges searing electric guitar blues with unbridled rock and roll energy like Burks. With the release of his new CD, Iron Man, Burks is set to take his place beside the biggest names in the blues. Produced by Burks and Alligator president Bruce Iglauer and fueled by Burks’ hard-driving road band, Iron Man is an electrifying slice of emotional, rocked-out blues. His fiery fretwork, gruff, fervent vocals and overwhelming intensity are captured live in the studio. Also with The Branson Welsh Group- (facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000109866915).
