David

Description

David is the debut album by the American singer, songwriter, and keyboardist David Meece, released on Myrrh Records in 1976, a division of Word. The album was recorded and mixed by Dan Peterson at TM Productions in Dallas, Texas; with Paul Baker producing. Arranged and conducted by Bob Piper. All songs written by David Meece.

Featuring David Meece on piano and vocals, backed by a session band consisting of Bob Thomas on acoustic guitar, Mack Dougherty on acoustic and electric guitars, Lou Fischer on bass, and Paul Leim on drums and percussion.

David is an artist whose name needs little introduction in CCM circles, his piano pop and ballads style more or less epitomizing the sound of mellow Christian radio. His debut doesn’t really stretch out that much. In fact it’s quite the ballad-dominated easy listening affair, heavy on the strings and brass, although selections like «Jesus» and «I Love You, Lord» apparently had enough substance to make it onto some of the Myrrh Jesus music samplers.
