About this project
This will be David Jʼs first solo album in eight years. Described as ʻan accidental concept albumʼ, the subject here is mortality.
“I had been recording odd tracks here and there over the last few years and I gradually realized that there was a theme going on. ʻMust be something to do with being a gentleman of a certain age! Half of the album is already in the can and sounding lovely. Now we need to raise the funds to complete the thing and get it out to you!”
ʻNot Long For This Worldʼ shall be released as a CD, download & limited edition vinyl on Saint Rose Records in Spring 2011.
Upon completion and release David will be supporting the record with a Euro/US tour.
