In September 2007, Burr signed with Colorado independent label [[What Are Records?]]. His debut album ''[[Emotionally Unavailable: Expanded Edition]]'' was released October 16, 2007. ''Emotionally Unavailable'' carries content previously available only in Burr’s stand-up shows. It features a completely unedited set with Burr covering topics from [[rednecks]] to inadvertent racism to [[Relationship counseling|relationship]] books to [[Psychosis|crazy people]] on the subway. The ''Expanded Edition'' augments that album with previously unreleased highlights from a different tour - the Houston stop of the ''I’m Rich Biatch Tour'' which Bill co-headlined with ''Chappelle's Show'' cast mates [[Charlie Murphy]] and [[Donnell Rawlings]]. Much of the material from this tour later turned up on Burr’s HBO stand-up special.
