Nashville, Tenn. – Critically-acclaimed American Roots singer Danny Burns is releasing his first new single of 2023 with “Fields of Gold.” The Irish-born recording artist teamed with Grammy winner Tim O’Brien to put a unique Bluegrass / Americana twist on a well-known tune, which was previously made famous by Rock and Roll Hall of Fame hitmaker Sting (of The Police). Burns’ version is available for download and/or streaming HERE.
“‘Fields of Gold’ has always been one of those big beautiful songs that I wanted to cover,” explains Burns. “When we got into the studio we ran it a few times, and everyone was familiar with it. I think Scott (Vestal) had recorded it a few times already, it just flowed nicely in the session.”
“Fields of Gold” comes as the world celebrates Valentine’s Day, a day all about love. The powerful lyrics on the track instantly struck a chord with Burns, with English superstar Sting’s home country of England being the main focus, which is located in close proximity to Ireland. With the new recording, Burns and O’Brien carried on the same spirit as the original tune released in 1993, but brought a newfound energy and next-level approach.
Danny Burns is gearing up for the release of his next full-length Bluegrass project Promised Land, set for release later this year via Bonfire Music Group. Fans were previously treated to the lead single, “Someone Like You,” a striking remake of Adele’s hit. It was instantly a hit with listeners, becoming Danny’s very first No. 1 hit on the Bluegrass Today charts. The second single “Some Might Say” also went on to become a staple, garnering significant airplay and charting for multiple weeks on the Bluegrass radio charts. As it nears closer to the release of the project, Danny has a lot more surprises in-store including the full track list, release date and more!
