We at Ta are very excited to bring you music from Bobby Long’s brand new studio album, A Winter Tale. Bobby Long’s name should be familiar to every Twilighter, as he was the co-writer for Twilight’s Let Me Sign, performed by Robert Pattinson. Bobby is currently on a very demanding tour promoting the album and will also be appearing on Jay Leno this Thursday, February 3rd. After bringing you a contest for a limited edition vinyl of the song Stranger Songs, we’re thrilled to share the full album with you now. See it all below:
You can also watch the first part of a behind-the-scenes look at Bobby’s current tour:
British singer-songwriter-guitarist Bobby Long’s anticipated debut studio album ‘A Winter Tale’, produced by Liam Watson (White Stripes) will be released February 1st, 2011 on Ato Records. Currently residing in New York City, the 24-year old Long has been writing finely-crafted songs since taking up the guitar at age 17; from then on he’s been creating memorable songs inhabited by hauntingly poetic lyrics. After relocating to London from the countryside of South West England, he became a fixture at London’s open-mic nights while attending London Metropolitan University where he studied Music in Film and wrote his thesis on The Social Impact of American Folk Music. He quickly established himself on the local open mic circuit, finding his voice and beginning to develop songs characterized by catchy melodies paired with elusive, imaginative lyrics. In London he met a circle of fellow musicians, among them Marcus Foster, with whom he wrote a song called “Let Me Sign,” and soon-to-be megastar Robert Pattinson, who would sing it in the 2008 blockbuster film Twilight. It is Bobby Long’s intensely personal songs, vocal prowess, and heart-wrenching soulfulness that resonate with audiences on both sides of the Atlantic, creating a loyal following through constant touring over the past two years. In 2009, Long 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,” B. J. Cole (Elton John, Sting) on pedal steel, Icelandic singer Lay Low on several tracks, and other top-drawer musicians. And by way of continued extensive touring, he will be bringing A Winter Tale and what has been called his “tapestry of tales” to the ever-growing audiences seduced by his compelling voice, musicianship and charm.
