Burn What You Can, Bury the Rest is the debut of Bradley Wik and The Charlatans, the Portland, OR based quintet who specialize heartland rock and roll. Frontman Wik – a native son of the Midwest – is a songwriter who has extensively toured across the country for the past four years, laying down an acoustic set of alt-country strings wherever crowds welcome him. Wik’s knack for compelling storytelling and realistically rendered blue collar characters along the lines of Bruce Springsteen make for a great rock record. Standouts among the eight tracks include “This Old House” with Brianne Kathleen on backing vocals and the 8+ minute album closer about Wik’s close friend and bandmember, “Just Like Jon Fickes.” – Written by JFelton
