It’s been a few weeks since I gave you a single artist, so
today I bring to you Bobby Long.
July 9, 2010, I was drunk in a bar in LA (shocking, I know)
when I had the pleasure of hearing and seeing Bobby for the first time. I was
blown away instantly by his multiple talents. Singer, songwriter, and multiple instrument
player. At the time, he played with a band. I couldn't believe this shy looking
man with floppy hair had such a powerful voice. I was sold!!
Bobby's musical style of telling a story with his words is
truly amazing. I often tell friends that Bobby seems to be an old soul,
sometimes channeling an old WW2 vet telling stories. He seems to always be
telling stories whether on stage singing or in between songs. Story time with
Bobby Long is the best.
Here are some of my favorite songs of his:
Devil Moon
Help You Mend
Dead and Done
She Won’t Leave
The Bounty of Mary Jane
Left to Lie
Two Years Old
Penance Fire Blues
Darling, I Remember the Drink
A Winter Tale
…and just ‘cause it’s an amazing duet, Crooked Sky with
Marcus Foster
Bobby is currently doing some shows across the States. If he
is coming to a city near you, get your ass out there and see him. I promise you
will not be disappointed.
