You can't talk about soul music's current mecca, Atlanta, Georgia, without mentioning Anthony David. The Atlanta-based singer/songwriter, known as "Tony" to his friends and "kinfolk," has become synonymous with Atlanta's burgeoning music scene. Tony's new record, "Red Clay Chronicles" is sure to convince folks around the globe what everyone in the ATL has known for years. With it's head-nodding grooves, rich vocals, and authentic, down-home vibe, "Red Clay Chronicles" epitomizes everything we love about the music of the South.
The Savannah, Georgia native first made his mark musically as a songwriter, penning songs for longtime friend and collaborator, India.Arie. Tony wrote "Part of My Life" from India's 2001 debut "Acoustic Soul," and also wrote "There's Hope" from her latest record, "Testimony: Volume 1, Life and Relationship."
While Tony's 2004 debut, "3 Chords and the Truth" was a first-rate acoustic record with equal parts soul, blues, and folk, "Red Clay Chronicles" is definitely heavier on production, without overpowering Tony's full-bodied voice and honest songwriting.
Since Tony's so versatile vocally on this record, he's sure to draw a lot of comparisons to other notable singers. The most obvious similarity is fellow Southern soul singer, Anthony Hamilton, which is particularly evident on the feel-good family reunion tune, "Kinfolk." The stunning duet with India.Arie, "Words," shows Tony sounding a little like Darius Rucker from Hootie and the Blowfish, and the compelling title track, which deals with the issue of gentrification, could easily be mistaken for a Martin Luther song. Other highlights of the record include the cool breeze tribute to Atlanta, "ATL Sunshine," the reflective ballad, "Lady," the flawless cover of Level 42's "Something About You," and the ultimate head-nodder, "Smoke One.
