Bobby Long Inks American Record Deal
. Long's debut is set for release on February 1, 2011. The album, entitled A Winter Tale, is a collection of 11 original songs from a repertoire deeply rooted in American folk, blues and country music. The recording is produced by Liam Watson, Grammy winner for his engineering work on Elephant by The White Stripes, at his analog Toe Rag Studios in London. His haunting vocals, intricately woven lyrics and intriguing guitar work, not to mention his charming tall tales, have helped to cultivate a devoted fan base that has filled rooms night after night. This year's tour schedule has also included several high-profile festival appearances, among them the Mile High Festival in Denver and the XPoNential Festival sponsored by Philadelphia's WXPN Radio, an early champion of Long's moving, personal songs. Long, who is an accomplished guitarist, is backed by an eclectic complement of studio musicians on slide guitar, standup bass, drums and keyboards.
