MySpace Artist Of The Week: Dave Lambert
The unpolished sound of Dave Lambert and his guitar is what makes him our first MySpace Artist of the Week for the new year. While listening to his songs it makes me feel like I’m sitting in a restaurant with a small stage off to the side, no fancy equipment, no sound engineer, just the artist singing his song – like it should be. It’s easy to keep on making music when you’re bringing in the money, but when you’re small time and you make the music because it’s what you love to do, that’s when you have something special. Besides, in the day when the record labels are trying to tell you where and how you have to listen to your music through DRM and such, it’s nice to find someone who has full songs for download right on his website.
…finally back into music listening and playing country. Throughout separation and divorce, music became a way to handle the dark and lonely times. Songs such as Alan Jackson’s “Hole In The Wall” and many others really hit-home per se’ and made me listen to the complete song as it was meant to be heard. Well I should have known that a family tradition started by my great grandfather was going to come back full circle one more time. I met and married a wonderful lady from a local little town called Union just like he did with the ‘local doctor’s daughter…’
Finally started to play more and more again and knock off the years of rust from the fingers, bought another guitar or two, couple of amps and trying to figure out what to do next. I can say I credit my wife for stoking the coals a bit in the music area since she is a die-hard music lover to say the least The lady who basically does not take ‘no’ for an answer more or less drug me to Charlotte one night. After hearing Chris Knight do one of his solo acoustic shows you may as well have thrown gas on the fire as far as music goes. I started writing and producing some of my own stuff after that.
