Dave Alvin: Blackjack David TP-002<br />
“The sound of <strong>the</strong> guitar and Dave Alvin's voice<br />
reached out to us, not in a hyped up "audiophile"<br />
way, but in an emotional way, just as live music<br />
does.”<br />
Dave Alvin first came to prominence in <strong>the</strong> high energy<br />
Punkabilly band "The Blasters," which personified <strong>the</strong> Roots-<br />
Rock movement in <strong>the</strong> early '80s. After parting ways with <strong>the</strong><br />
Blasters he followed many roads, eventually winning a<br />
Grammy® for his album "Public Domain, Songs From The<br />
Wild Land." In"Blackjack David," <strong>the</strong>se musical strains have<br />
melded into a personal music of great emotional power.<br />
These songs all started with Dave sitting in <strong>the</strong> middle of <strong>the</strong><br />
room singing and playing guitar. Gradually <strong>the</strong> arrangements<br />
grew around <strong>the</strong>m, but Dave's singing and guitar playing<br />
remain at <strong>the</strong> core. Stereophile Record Of The Month and at<br />
least this once <strong>the</strong>y got it right.
