Anthony David – The Red Clay Chronicles
DOMECD73
Anthony began his music career by writing ‘Part Of My Life’ for India.Arie’s debut album ‘Acoustic Soul’, and she reciprocates by duetting with him on ‘Words’, a song they co-wrote for his brilliant new album, The Red Clay Chronicles.
The 16-track album includes three bonus cuts from Anthony’s debut album (unreleased outside the US), including ‘50/50 Love’, a lovers rock track on which fellow Atlanta resident Julie Dexter guests. Guitarist Earl Klugh also features on one track, ‘Smoke One With Earl’.
Many critics have indeed compared David to a modern-day Bill Withers, with his blues voice and the contemporary social issues he tackles in some of his songs, like the album title track about gentrification and rebuilding of the inner city, and the pushing out of long-time, low-income residents. “I wanted it to represent my scene or at least my perspective of the scene and let everybody else hear what kind of flavor and diversity we have here in the South”.
If you ever get a chance to catch Anthony live do so – you will not be disappointed!
