A Winter Tale CD by Bobby Long

Bobby Long is a young, British song writer who has packed venues across the United states, Canada and Europe. In 2009, he played 160 shows in seven months in seven countries.

A Winter Tale merges band power with acoustic rawness, featuring Nona Hendryx (LaBelle) on backing vocals on "Penance Fire Blues," BJ Cole (Elton John, Sting) on pedal steel, Icelandic singer Lay Low on several tracks, and other top drawer musicisians.

A Winter Tale by Bobby Long is in stores February 1st from ATO Records. His name may sound familiar to you.  He is best known as the songwriter behind the song "Let Me Sign" which was sung by Robert Pattinson and featured in the movie Twilight.

I wasn't familiar with Bobby Long when I was originally asked to review this CD so I wasn't sure what to expect.  I was really pleased to find that his music is totally enjoyable.  It's mellow without being depressing and has a sort of haunting, soulfull sound to it that's really relaxing to listen to. 

One of my favorite songs is Dead and Done.  I definitely think we're going to be hearing more from him in 2011. Check out this cool YouTube video:
