Morningtown

'David MacNeill has a cell-deep sense of how a great song should be structured and how the story should unfold. His melodies are natural with a quality of having been heard before even though they are original. The best thing about David's music is how it can come from so deep in his soul yet appeal to so many people.' ~Bob Cheevers David MacNeill's first solo CD is made up of eleven of the writer's favorite songs written from 1997 to 2007. Over the rock-solid foundation of Jerry White's powerful bass lines and Buzz Baker's sophisticated percussion, David layers a shimmering array of acoustic, electric, resonator, and baritone guitars in addition to singing all vocal leads and harmonies. Studio ace Lance Taber played soulful electric guitar, Ray Elzey delivered brilliant pedal steel parts, and former Nashville producer Cory Fite contributed tasty keyboards and rich orchestral strings. Within the album's inviting arrangements, moving vocals, and powerful instrumental performances, the heart of this record is the song. Though composed and delivered in a very personal manner, the lyrics reflect common experiences and simple truths that resonate with everyone.
