David’s first recording project, Barefoot, sold so much better than expected that he decided to go ahead and take the plunge and record a ‘real record’ on CD in 1992. At that time there still weren’t many independent artists recording on CD, so it was a bold, exciting and scary project. David hooked up with Van Atkins to engineer the project in his basement studio in Weaverville, NC. His sister Margaret and her husband Lee, who owned a graphic design company at the time, agreed to do the layout and design work, with Margaret taking the photos for the record (including the cover shot above).

This album contains his longest and shortest songs to date (the River and the Ant). Some great musicians who were playing around town in those days lent their musical talents, and the album was released to a fine response. Sales outran recording expenses within nine months, as has happened with each recording since, and David celebrated his first year as a full-time musician with the arrival of his first CD. Michelle Kidd of Green Line reviewed the record and called it “Refreshing like a mountain stream.”

  • Mary Davis, harmony vocals
  • Bill Graham, II, bass

November 18, 2022

As the world continues to gradually reopen, I’m so enjoying being back on the road. To facilitate that process, I’ve just begun working with not one, but two new booking agents to help me organize the … Read More
