Anthony David: The Red Clay Chronicles, CD

Following his debut album - which the Atlanta Journal Constitution newspaper called “the best record to come out of this city since Usher’s” – Atlanta singer-songwriter-guitarist ANTHONY DAVID makes his UK and European bow with his second album RED CLAY CHRONICLES.

When Anthony first arrived in Atlanta, he befriended another young aspiring artist whose name was India.Arie, and went on to write the song Part Of My Life included on her debut Acoustic Soul album.

“It wasn’t until I heard some Bill Withers songs that I got the inspiration to really try singing, and then I found my vocal stride”, he explains.

Many critics have indeed compared Anthony to a modern-day Bill Withers, with his blues voice and the contemporary social issues he tackles in some of his songs. The album features many of his friends in the Atlanta music community, including India (who features on a stunning duet Words), jazz guitarist Earl Klugh, Julie Dexter (on a very authentic reggae track 50/50 Love), Keisha Jackson and Jiva’s Khari Simmons.
