Album Of The Week

"David Massey är en ny bekantskap för mig, som med sina toner träffar direkt i magtrakten, och 'Man In The Mirror' kan varmt rekommenderas om man gillar lugn singer songwriter-musik. Ja, bara att provlyssna på inledande 'Till The Evening Comes', och jag tror du är fast….."

- Torbjörn Berlin / Berlin Calling -

"David Masseys 'Man In The MIrror är ett förträffligt, dynamiskt och välmodulerat album för oss lyssnare som gärna låter sig svepas hänfört med i vindar från Nashville."

- Micheles Kindh / Blaskan -

"On the 1st track of his new collection, 'Till The Evening Comes', David Massey sings, 'by myself, just strumming some chords, first warm day of spring, trying to think up some meaningful words, but not coming up with a thing'. He then proceeds to reel off 6 profoundly melancholy, but moving, original tunes, followed by a home recording cover of Townes Van Zandt’s 'Tecumseh Valley'."

- Kenneth Bremer / Blue Desert -

"7 albums strong and Washington DC resident David Massey continues to represent some of the best hidden gems that can be found in contemporary singer songwriter music. This new album is 8 songs that have been carefully created and are delivered with a measured attention to detail. Massey includes one cover song, and his take on the Townes Van Zandt classic, 'Tecumseh Valley' is beautifully considered, bringing out all of the pathos of the original story concerning a working girl who falls victim to the vagaries of life."

- Paul McGee / Lonesome Highway -

"The playing throughout is excellent, particularly the guitar work, and it's a beautifully produced album, thanks to David Massey and bass player Jim Robeson. Massey's voice, with a style that hovers between talking and singing, may divide audiences, but these are good songs, well realised."

Rick Bayles / Rock'N'Reel Magazine -

"With 7 original self composed songs and one splendid acoustic cover of the Townes Van Zandt classic 'Tecumseh Valley', the folk and country songs from David Massey on his latest record, 'Man In The Mirror' are once again varying from emotional and melancholic stories to uptempo melodies. It is top class music that keeps us longing for more on his future albums."

- Valére Sampermans / Rootstime -
