CD PICK: DAVID MASSENGILL – “We Will Be Together” — 5 Comments

  1. David’s CD is the most exquisite masterpiece from a man in full command of his personal charm and poetic language. What a voice. Wit, wails and wistfulness artfully delivered in that gorgeous baritone. As usual, the guy takes risks. . . <br />He’s my first and last love and if that ain’t marriage, who needs it.

  5. Very interesting idea for a CD. I’d love to see David lead a Van Ronk tribute concert.<BR/><BR/>Scott
