All songs written by Jason Tyler Burton, copyright 2012.
Recorded and mixed in his Berea, Kentucky home, The Mend is the first album from Jason Tyler Burton, offering 12 original tunes steeped in folk traditions but featuring a unique blend of poetic depth, story-telling, and emotion.
Burton played most every instrument on the album, with fiddle provided on two songs by Deborah Payne of Sugar Tree and backing vocals by Toni Melton. The Mend finds fiddle, banjo, mandolin, harmonica, and accordion embellishing acoustic guitar and Burton's voice to create a rich yet simple album of Americana folk tunes with stories of healing, environmental justice, personal struggle, and action.

Jason Tyler Burton is a recluse from Kentucky who now makes his home in the least populated county in the least populated state. There in Wyoming, at the foot of the Wind River Mountains, he writes songs that wrestle with the struggles of rural peoples. His stories often tell a novel's worth of story in the format of a song, for which he draws comparisons to Jason Isbell and John Prine.
