David Newbould Music DNM006
****
A heady mix of country rock with outstanding vocals of
the highest nature
David Newbould is a highly talented singer/songwriter who is
just waiting to burst into the major league, something he may just achieve with
his new album Tennessee . Strong
vocals and cleverly put together songs make David’s new album a pleasure to
listen to. Already, to his credit, David’s music has appeared on a number of
popular television shows including Criminal Minds, Party of Five and Dawson ’s
Creek. Tennessee was produced by
Ben Strano and has taken over a year to make. Featuring the likes of up and
coming country star Rose Falcon this new offering was recorded in two parts and
comes with two bonus tracks released only via the internet. The album starts
off with Always Coming Home, which
showcases David’s vocals wonderfully. David has a distinctive sound, which
mixes country with pop/rock. Upbeat and rather delightful this opening song
sees David joined on vocals by the country singer Rose Falcon. Don’t Give Me Your Heart sees David’s
vocals slip into a harsher mode. If you like Bruce Springsteen and/or John
Mellencamp then you are in for a treat. Again quite an upbeat song it is easy
to see why David’s songs have been used on so many successful television shows.
His vocals have depth and real character. Live
For Love is another strong offering. A mix of rock and country makes this
song quite powerful. Drifting Wayward has
a distinct country feel about it. David’s vocals have a lighter feel and really
suit a slow country song. You’re With Me is
a high octane fast paced country/rock song. A lovely duet this song features Kalisa
Ewing on vocals. Listening to this song is like listening to a slice of Steve
and Stacey Earle. Kalisa’s vocals are edgy and offer something special to this
song. Down For Your Love is a slower,
raw country song that pushes David’s vocals to the forefront. Once again Kalisa
Ewing joins David on vocals. Lucinda is
another rocky country song. It Can Always
Be Worse is a really dramatic song with powerful lyrics. A really punchy
song that deserves plenty of volume to be enjoyed fully! Caitlin Nicol-Thomas adds extra depth to
this song with the violin. Trying
To Find The Good In Seeing Things is another outstanding sound in the style
of Jackson C Frank or Bob Dylan. It is worth buying this album just for this
song alone. Don’t Give Up On Love sees
the mood and tempo pick up pace once again. Another rocky country song with
plenty of potential. The Things We’ve
Done slips back into raw delicate vocal mode. David has such an awesome
vocal range and style as evidenced by the songs on this album. She’s Got A Different Way ends the album
off in fine style. Another country infused rocky/pop song David’s vocals are once
again the highlight. An outstanding song that leaves you wanting to hear more,
much more.
