BOBBY LONG: "A Winter Tale" CD Review | Mommy PR

I was given the opportunity to review a recently released debut CD by Bobby Long called A Winter Tale. This was my first experience with this artist and when I popped the CD in on a rainy day, his music completely matched my mood for the day.

About Bobby Long:? Debut Album:?? ?A WINTER TALE?, Release Date:? February 1, 2010.? Bobby Long believes in making up for lost time.? The young British singer-songwriter didn?t even start to play guitar until he was 17, but from then on he?s been creating memorable songs inhabited by hauntingly poetic lyrics.? With model good looks and an engaging smile, he is a formidable presence even before he begins to sing.? And when he does sing, it?s with a heart-wrenching soulfulness that crushes any chance for apathy. It?s a voice that simply demands attention.? Now armed with an enviable repertoire of material and a legion of loyal fans cultivated through non-stop touring, this force of nature will be impossible to ignore.

A Winter Tale ? merges band power with acoustic rawness, featuring Nona Hendryx (LaBelle) on backing vocals on ?Penance Fire Blues,? B. J. Cole (Elton John, Sting) on pedal steel, Icelandic singer Lay Low on several tracks, and other top-drawer musicians. And by way of continued extensive touring, he will be bringing A WINTER TALE and what has been called his ?tapestry of tales? to the ever-growing audiences seduced by his compelling voice, musicianship and charm.*

My Thoughts: My mood the day I slid A Winter Tale into my CD player was melancholy and a bit on the sad side.? The music was a perfect fit to my rainy day.? Bobby Long?s songs seemed filled with heart break, loss and sadness and I connected with it immediately.? His voice is beautiful and he connects deeply with the lyrics causing you to feel his heartache and suffering coming through his music. It?s an emotional connection that I don?t often hear these days with all the kids music that is going on most of the time.? I love A Winter Tale and especially love A Passing Tale (click to listen to a sample of this song) which I would describe as a sort of bluesy mix of a Folk/Country style.? Overall an amazing debut and I look forward to seeing where he goes with his music next!
