"Billy Don Burns is the epitome of a Troubadour. I'm proud and honored to be a part of I've Seen A Lot of Highway, it's a culmination of a career over five decades long that should undoubtably be experienced and celebrated. Billy Don Burns is a songwriters songwriter and will forever be an unsung hero for us misfits that never gave into the system that try's to change an artist from their true selves. His work speaks for itself, it stands up on its own. Billy Don Burns is a living legend and I'm proud to call him my friend."

"Billy Don is an artist who has walked the hard path, traveled down almost every road laid by man, witnessed and taken part in the origins and history of country music, rubbed elbows with the biggest stars, and lived to weave incredible tales of it all. He's a hero to a lot of songwriters and singers, but to me he's a true friend and a brother. Album after album, Billy Don reminds the world that he's still out there and from the moments his boots hit the ground and his hands hit a guitar, he's been taking a tally of life and everything after. I've Seen A Lot of Highway is yet another chapter in the evolving story of Billy Don Burns. Full of cautionary tales of freedom, love and the dark side of the road, the songs here have been elevated with a new sonic, sometimes experimental palette allowing the songwriter to shine through tell his stories while being surrounded by a rich musical ambience. A few good friends, including myself pop in to help him tell these tales as well. I'm proud that Black Country Rock could release this album to the world and we could continue to be a driving force in Billy Don's musical legacy."

"Every now and then... in this day of cookie cutter auto-tuned singers... every now and then I get to hear a voice singing songs that remind me of why I fell in love with music... Billy Don Burns with Nights When I'm Sober - A Portrait of a Honky Tonk Singer did that for me this morning... It's late afternoon now and I'm still being reminded... Thank you Billy Don."
- Chuck Cannon

"Billy Don Burns is a true Country Music Warrior. He wears his battle scars with honor, depicting the stories of his life in his songs with brutal and beautiful honesty. He’s respected far and wide for his long career in songwriting and performing, and he’s still out there. He’s lived it and breathed it through lifetimes of country music passion and pain. Carrying the guitar like a sword on his back, he battles for the Poet. He battles for the Artist. He battles for the souls who defy modern convention. And every time he strikes a chord in some smoke-filled Honky Tonk, he wins. Billy Don Burns started out in this business working with legends, and somewhere along the way he became one himself."
