Search - Mr. David :: Mr. Davids First Album

In his self-titled, debut album, Mr. David's First Album, popular children's musician and entertainer, Mr. David, brings together a bit of the old and a bit of the new in a unique collection of songs that take their inspiration from the classic children's music we all grew up with and love. Mr. David's song list reaches across decades and countries to introduce children to some of our best-loved classics and the diverse musical sounds of different genres and styles. With great American folk classics like "I've Been Working on the Railroad" done as a guitar instrumental to allow children to use their imagination in creating visuals for the music, "Oh! Susanna" played with a harmonica that brings out the songs' country roots, and a simple, unique arrangement of "Old McDonald Had a Farm" that makes kids laugh out loud and ask their parents to play it over and over again, Mr. David is able to tap into the warm, comforting feelings of America's golden, pioneering age. He combines classics with old world tunes like "Old King Cole," its mandolin rhythms and deep vocals reminiscent of medieval Europe, and newer, African-drum inspired tracks like, "African Spirit Walk." Even the newer, original songs have a simple, old feel about them. His original, Johnny Cash/Beatles-influenced tune "Yum" pulls together a cacophony of instruments and vocals into a raucously fun sound that is a bit of "Yellow Submarine" and a Shel Silverstein-inspired rock n' roll kidÂ?s band--pots, pans, the kitchen sink and all.
