The Story Behind the Album.
I had a good soprano voice as a youngster and I loved singing. I always wanted to try to write a song so between the ages of 10 and 15, I had 15 attempts at writing a song.
When I was 17, I wrote the 12 bars blues song ” Queen Bee” I then went onto write the remaining 13 tracks on the album, and they were recorded using local musicians at the Mill Recording Studio, Crathes, Aberdeenshire under the guidance of musician/producer Niall Mathewson.
Niall Mathewson's Review of the Album
“David’s album is an eclectic mix of ideas that he has been collecting and honing over a period of years. It features an interesting dynamic range of material from the lush string arrangement of “Love is a Game”, or the more electronic feel of “Cindy Clark” to the more acoustic mood of “In Time” and “Our Princess”.
He also manages to inject a good helping of blues with “If You’re Without a Woman”, the happy sounding “Queen Bee”, and the thought provoking “Serving Time”. There’s even some jazz on offer with the Smokey sounding “Another Lover”. A few of the songs fall into no particular category, but are just good pop songs, such as, “Someone Like Me”, “Walk Away”, and “A Tall Ship” or “Mayday Fair” and “Jojo’s Café in Paree”.
I hope that you will enjoy David’s album and I hope that you will find, like me, that it has something for just about anybody.
