the return of a true American troubador!
author: tony mastrianni
David is one of America's true original troubadours. In a career
spanning four decades, he has recorded 14 albums, had several hundred
covers of his songs, including the world famous "Garden Song", and
performed in clubs, concert halls and festivals across the US, Canada
and Europe. He has appeared on numerous broadcasts, including National
Public Radio’s “A Prairie Home Companion”. Known for his carefully
written, poetic offerings, his body of work has provided material for an
eclectic list of artists that includes Alison Krauss, Pete Seeger, Hal
Ketchum, Emmylou Harris, John Denver, and the Muppets.
Alright Now - his first collection of new songs in more than six years -
is the culmination of 30 years of songwriting, capturing keen
observations about the soul of everyday life. It is arguably Mallett’s
most forward-thinking collection to date, and represents a new approach
for Mallett’s song-writing. 5 STARS
