No. 19: Doug Burr -- "The Righteous Will Rejoice"
In early 2009, Doug Burr released The Shawl, a ten-track release in which he offered up his musical interpretations of the Psalms. And though the disc wasn't quite the fare audiences expected from the revered local singer-songwriter, it sure grabbed them as easily--none more so than the chilling "The Righteous Will Rejoice."
