"Love, Hope, Faith" (produced by consummate session and touring drummer Mark Schulman: Pink, Velvet Revolver, Foreigner, Simple Minds, Billy Idol, Stevie Nicks and Cher) is a passionate coming of age journey of reflection from youth through adulthood.

When he was not performing as the lead guitarist with GRAMMY nominated folk rockers We Five (1960âs San Francisco Sound mega hits "You Were On My Mind" and "Let's Get Together") Chris found the time to put together this finely crafted âAcoustic Rock, Power Popâ cross section.

âThe CD is recorded in a way that reflects on my thoughts from high school to todayâ states Burgan. âI wanted to acknowledge how all the parts of my musical influences have blended together into a comprehensive whole.â

The opening track âRun To Mamaâ (which gets heavy rotation at Los Angeles Dodgers baseball home games) drips with youthful swagger. As the music unfolds, so do the complications of growing up. âLove, Hope, Faithâ wrestles with age old questions about loss and suffering, âLove Walks In The Roomâ recalls the moment when being alone would be over, and âInto Wineâ lets us know that being good enough for some⦠simply isnât.

Reflecting on the past also inspired Chris to put a new spin on some album cut favorites from his youth. The Elton John piano tune âPinkyâ (off of the 1970âs Caribou album) has been rethought as an acoustic guitar song. Likewise, there is a hauntingly beautiful interpretation of the Whackers song âWhite House.â

The CD closes out with a nod to former band mates 541 Baseline. âKnowâ catapults the listener right back to the sounds of Chrisâ rock and roll beginnings.

Whether you were a child of the 60âs, or still in high school today, Chris has managed to speak to the common consciousness and scratch an itch that few can reach.
