Description
The self-titled debut album by the American singer and songwriter Dave Stearman was independently released in 1973. The album was produced by Douglas Brown.
Quiet appealing folk custom from soft-voiced singer/songwriter. Mostly just Dave and acoustic guitar on titles like «Follow Me», «The Sun Is Shining Thru», «I Believe In God» and «You Can See». The stand-out track would have to be «Messiah», an unusual minor-key song with a decidedly Eastern tone. The addition of percussion and bass brings a simple acoustic rock vibe to selections like «Talkin’ ‘Bout Jesus», «The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader» and «Holy Glory», the latter containing the line “Jesus socked it to ya again”. Stephanie Boosahda adds keyboards (piano, harpsichord) and backing vocals to a couple songs. Should appeal to those who enjoy the mellow acoustic side of James Taylor. Dave also turned up with an LP on Star Song in the early ‘80s. See also The Life Of A New Creation. [Ken Scott, The Archivist, 4th edition]
