You may remember the last time I talked about up & coming British singer/songwriter Bobby Long. Well, seeing that it's the weekend before the release of his debut album, I thought WHY NOT do another little mention. On Tuesday, February 1st ATO Records will release A Winter Tale, the much anticipated debut album from Bobby Long. The 11-track record was recorded in London and produced by Grammy-award winner Liam Watson (The White Stripes) as well as backing vocals from Nona Hendryx (LaBelle) and Icelandic singer Lay Low not to mention pedal steel by B.J. Cole (Elton John, Sting). Long, who The New York Post recently touted as one of their "10 Artists To Watch in 2011," is currently out on tour promoting his debut album. The extensive tour sees Long traipsing about all over North America, playing a variety of venues and festivals including dates at the Sundance Film Festival and SXSW. Here's hoping we see and hear a lot more from this talented (and handsome) guy from England.
Don't forget to pick up your copy of A Winter Tale when it's released on February 1st and check Long out on tour in a city near you (TOUR DATES below). To tide you over why not have a look at an exclusive performance video of Long doing a new song, "Dead & Gone" as part of the recently launched Burberry Acoustic series. So good!
