What the Muse Chose to Afford
“For an artist, the arrival and departure of the Muse into and out of their life is a glaring reminder that we are never in control but at the mercy of what is offered. I hope you enjoy and appreciate as much as I do What the Muse Chose to Afford.”
Co-produced, engineered and mixed by J. Tom Hnatow at Lexington’s Small Blue Studio, David is joined by Ben Knight (Ben Knight and the Welldiggers, guitar) and Aaron Geil (The Tillers, upright bass) on seven original tracks with and additional four solo tracks recorded on acoustic grand piano. Fans of John Prine, Townes Van Zandt, Randy Newman and John Fullbright will appreciate a conceptual listening journey through songwriting and it’s appearance in our everyday lives.
