DAVID PAYNE
All the feelings resound on David Payne’s new heart-wrenching, stripped-down collection.
Somewhere between pounding out rockers with The New Old-Fashioned and lending voice to myriad side projects, singer-songwriter David Payne buckled down with producer Patrick Himes at Reel Love Recording to create his most intimate and emotionally stirring recordings to date. Hauntingly sparse arrangements provide a apt landscape for Payne’s robust baritone/tenor croon and stories of recovery from the tumult of heartbreak and life balancing rock and roll with the daily grind. There’s an immediacy to Orange Glow that is instantly relatable while lyrics impart depth that will surely inspire contemplative listening.
