DAVID WOOD
David’s singing career began only a few years ago but he is certainly making up for lost time. His only regret is not doing this sooner. His long musical career has involved management and promotion but we are all delighted that he’s decided to step out front on his own and give the world a taste of some pure to the bone country music. He enjoyed a Top 5 hit with his last song but this time out of the blocks he tackles “Old Enough To Be Somebody’s Hero” and this one is also set to do well.

The excitement is building – the video of “My Dash” was posted on this website and on YouTube at the beginning of the month. Now the single is shipping to radio both here in the U.S. and in Europe, Africa, Australia. New Zeland and Japan. A copy of “My Dash” is posted on the player on the right side of the website and the video is posted just below the player. And – If you would like a copy of the CD of your very own – along with the pictures and stories – click on the “Buy Music” link. Remember: “It’s not the year that you were born… Not the year that you pass …. It’s what came between that counts for all, it’s how you lived that Dash.” But – MOST IMPORTANT – “There’s still time to live your Dash.”

“STORMS NEVER LAST” contines to move up on the Hotdisc Top 40 Chart in Europe …. It’s up to #3 this week (from #4) …… Thank you Europe for your support and your purchases of my records ….. David

Another review of the new CD – “DAVID WOOD Country” from Music News Nashville  -   Follow the link and check it out ….. http://www.musicnewsnashville.com/david-wood-%E2%80%93-country

Thanks Chris Spector (Music Record Entertainment – 6/24/11) for a thoughtful review:

“DAVID WOOD/Country” -  “A talent manager for over 30 years that finally decides he wants to make records too could pretty easily fit in with the Highwaymen if they decide they want to reconstitute with some ringers.  There’s nothing here that fits any format in any way, but if you miss some classic 70s Jones/Rich etc—the kind of country from wild men that weren’t outlaw, this is fun journey through the past.  Marching to the beat of his own country drummer, there’s spirituality, there’s white trash poverty, there’s cutting loose, there’s all the stuff that made those records so cool.  The kind of kick in the pants country needs.”
