This is actually David’s 6th album. All the time he was making albums with Sweet Comfort, Richie Furay, Barry McGuire, and Candle (to name very few) he had a parallel career going. I knew of David but I had no idea he was putting out albums himself. His sound is kind of jazz infused easy listening style. These albums were released in the secular market but I bet their were a lot of Christian buyers. As for the album it’s great. The track “Come On” might have singled with a slightly different mix and a completely different intro. It’s an excellent track but needed a bit of love to be radio ready. Oh and it was cowritten by Richie Furay which fits perfectly when you hear it. Now David didn’t do any vocals on this album so he had Bob Carlisle provide the vocals on the few tracks with vocals. Anyway this is a great album and I was excited to find a “new” artist to enjoy.
