From his EP, THOUGHT AROUND comes a song titled, PHONE BOX, has a bit of a Kinks feel which is done with pure elegance and more. This song has the best melody and lyrics which really stands out. I'm very impressed. IT'LL BE ALRIGHT has quite a touch of the Pink Floyd sound that will make you want to drift away from the world we live in.
Close your eyes and let the song take you away. I know you'll never want to come back again. Superb song! ONE LINE, which is one of his singles, really sounds alot like C.S.Y.& Y again, which has amazing vocals as his guitar work even sounds a lot like them. This sounds as if it was a long lost song from one of their albums. WOW! Is all I can say.
BETTER DAYS has a different groove which is quite too nice to hear as the beat is uptempo and has an excellent popish feel to it. The melody and lyrics are exceptional in this song. I love it. OUT OF TOWN is an instrumental which showcases his guitar playing which is outstanding in so many ways. The melody is strong once again, Check it out.
ALBERT is a song dedicated to his Uncle who died in WW1. He tells the story about what happened to him and his history. This song will really hit home with many people that are willing to listen to it. I find it quite an amazing song.Please check it out. I want to THANK KEITH DAVID for being in touch with me. You can find him on: Bandcamp, Spotify, You tube, Apple Music, Deezer, Pandora and other sites. ROCK ON, JIM ALLFORD [STEEL NOTES MAGAZINE.]
