"Big Red Sun" review - Performing Songwriter Magazine (July/August 2008 issue): If Dan Wilson and Pete Yorn had a folkier kid brother, he’d be David Newbould. Wielding a voice as wearily distinctive as Shawn Mullins, Newbould sings every word with a dusty radiance. Though his adeptness with hazy sketches predominates, Newbould blazes brightest when blurring alternate hues of exhaustion and exuberance—a talent especially evident on “Empty Arms” (whose stretched-out phrases evoke Wilson’s trademark vocal elasticity), the graceful “Family Man” and rollicking stomper “Nobody Loves Me Like You Do,” fueled by Cindy Cashdollar’s dobro adrenaline rush. When he sings “I’d rather be a man with a broken dream / than one who never had one” under the title track’s simmering desert sheen, he’s not kidding. —GG

"Big Red Sun" review - MilesOfMusic.com: It's A Cracker!! 100% Guaranteed!! Big Red Sun was recorded while David Newbould was a itinerant resident of Austin. Newbould sings with an exhilaration, avoiding the overwrought, instead falling squarely into warmth and passionate. Combined with a strong ear for melody and a directness in his storytelling Newbould nails this collection of introspective folk and traditional country. Newbould recruited Cindy Cashdollar, Redd Volkaert, Jon Dee Graham and others to help him on his first full length after releasing a series of EPs. Big Red Sun has a glowing emotional center that makes it a perfect way to brighten a gloomy day. -- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music

"Big Red Sun" review - EvolutionOfMedia.com: Although Big Red Sun will be compared to albums by any number of people--from Ryan Adams to Pete Yorn to the Wallflowers--I think Newbould’s influences are closer to 70’s artists like the late Dan Fogelberg, Jackson Browne, James Taylor, and Kenny Loggins. Songs like “Something To Lose” and “Love in Your Heart” have the lullaby quality that Loggins used to excel at, while “Empty Arms” has the freewheeling feel of Browne at his happiest. And just to prove that he can hoedown with the best of them, Newbould kicks his heels on the rollicking “Nobody Loves Me Like You Do”. But it’s the title song that’s the centerpiece of the album: a stark, dry-as-the-Mojave mediation on life that crystallizes everything that the album stands for, from the artwork on down. Newbould is another one of those guys who has managed to place his songs in various TV shows, in hopes of getting much-needed exposure. In a perfect world, he would not need to go to such crass extremes to get his music heard; it would be enough that songs as perfect as “Family Man” and the achingly beautiful “Keeping it In” could get lots of airplay on a good radio station. But it’s not the 70’s anymore, and one must do what one can to get heard. And no matter how he does it, David Newbould deserves to be heard and Big Red Sun deserves everyone’s undivided attention. Written By: Gina Morris

"Big Red Sun" review - Ink19.com: I hate to accuse anyone of being a sensitive singer/songwriter, but I'm afraid Mr. Newbould is very good at singing, writing, and picking up skilled session men and women to back him. The tone of Big Red Sun is soft and melodic with occasional flashes of a vaguely honky-tonk sound ("Empty Arms" and "Nobody Loves Me Like You Do"), but his forte is the solid love of a stable romance, family life, and the simple pleasures of living as far off the fast track as possible. Backing him up on these Austin-influenced sessions are the likes of Cindy Cashdollar, Jon Dee Graham, and Don Harvey. Big Red Sun is listenable, non-controversial, and is a pleasant amalgam of old-school country revival, traditional studio folk music, and solid craftsmanship. I have nothing but love to send to Mr. Newbould and his music -- it's a calm island in a hectic universe. -- Carl F Gauze

"Big Red Sun" review - TheChickenFishSpeaks.com: The CD cover looks like this should be a country / cowboy type disc and wouldn't you know it. It is! However, I'm a bit more disposed to liking this than I normally would be because David Newbould sounds so much like David Pirner that he gets extra points. The music is on the mellower side of country and is a fairly close cousin to folk. -- Grog Mutant (2008)

AMERICANA UK REVIEW OF "THE LONG WAY HOME: DAVID NEWBOULD AND FRIENDS LIVE FROM AUSTIN"
David Newbould & Friends “Long Way Home” (Independent, 2009)
Americana with a keen rock edge possessing lots of guitar and other finely spun textures see Newbould and Friends underline just how a good live band can sound

Now this is what I call a project. For not only do we have a live CD but also a DVD recording of the show as Newbould celebrates seven years in Austin with such esteemed friends as Redd Volkaert, Cindy Cashdollar, Danny Levin, Steve Zirkel, Will Taylor and Wendy Colonna who join band regulars Dave Madden, Jeff Botta, Darwin Smith, Naj Conklin and Darwin Smith and Megan Melara.

Newbould’s fond farewell to Texas is as a star-spangled affair as those on stage reach double figures, and what better way for the former New York resident, reluctantly relocating to Nashville to further his career as a touring artist, to end a treasured relationship. With such fine songs as ‘Something To Lose’, an image-strewn ‘See You On The Other Side’ and a song that appears for the first time in either form the stripped down ‘Come What May’. Plus he has a heap more choice tracks to add to them.

Newbould is a good rather than spectacular vocalist who knows how to get the best of those around him and for them (and there sure is plenty) to help make sound that bit better. The rattling ‘Nobody Love Me Like You Do’ featuring the dazzling Dobro of Cashdollar, electric lead guitar of Volkaert and remainder of the band all get to show off their great prowess.

‘It Can Always Be Worse’ (another previously unreleased cut) containing haunting harmony vocals coupled with eerie fiddle, piano, lead guitar and old-timey banjo early in the mix breaths a splendid world-weariness. The hypnotic nature of the song and fabulous interplay of the musicians and vocalists is something to behold. Newbould with pleading vocals likewise spins the travel ode in splendid fashion to complete the picture. If you think those already noted are good then think again because his combination with fellow lead vocalists Melara, Colonna (shades of Bonnie Raitt? She left me transfixed the first time I watched the DVD) and Beth Garner on ‘Dakota’ defines praise since the ultimate performance is achieved on the heart-wrenching ballad.

While a couple of songs lack the direction of others this twin release is one set to be revisited more than most, not least due to the band and I shall be following up on a few of them!

NEW AUSTIN CHRONICLE REVIEW FOR "THE LONG WAY HOME: DAVID NEWBOULD AND FRIENDS LIVE FROM AUSTIN" CD/DVD
David Newbould & Friends
The Long Way Home – Live From Austin
The ambitiousness of this live CD/DVD offering says as much about David Newbould's well-developed repertoire as it reflects his confident facility with performance. There's nothing tentative or green here; the NYC transplant is fully in command of his talents and direction with songs like "It Can Always Be Worse" and "Come What May." The DVD emphasizes Newbould's natural stage presence with golden promise and two bonus tracks.
-Margaret Moser

"BIG RED SUN" BY DAVID NEWBOULD VOTED ONE OF THE BEST RELEASES OF 2008 BY PERFORMING SONGWRITER MAGAZINE: ---David Newbould--- "Big Red Sun"--- Newbould’s casual voice and rock ’n’ roll songs embody a summer road trip, complete with an open highway and feet on the dash."--

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

New Live CD/DVD package, "The Long Way Home: David Newbould And Friends - Live From Austin" to be released nationally Sept 8, 2009!! Two disc package featuring full length concert shot in HD from ME TV Studios in Austin, TX. Includes accompanying 11 song audio CD (3 additional bonus tracks to be available online only). Local release, Austin TX, May 21, 2009. Features Redd Volkaert, Cindy Cashdollar, Wendy Colonna, Beth Garner, Will Taylor, Dave Madden, Danny Levin, Megan Melara, and other guests. Comprehensive collection of past DN catalogue and new tracks. Mixed by Stuart Sullivan at Wire, mastered by Matt Shultz at Satellite, produced by David Newbould. Currently available at shows and at Waterloo Records (Austin).

David Newbould is an exciting singer/songwriter/performer, and he has many believers who can testify to the passion and earnestness he puts into his work. His music has appeared on 10 NETWORK TV SHOWS/FILMS/DVD’S/TRAILERS to date (CBS’ "Criminal Minds" and "Harper's Island", WB’s "Dawson’s Creek" and "7th Heaven", Paramount’s "Joan of Arcadia", Fox’s "Party Of Five", CBS’ "Threshold", Lifetime’s "Monarch Cove", Lifetime Movie's "The Two Mr. Kissels", and Millennium Films' forthcoming "Streets Of Blood" {starring 50 Cent and Val Kilmer}), he has performed to acclaim at numerous ASCAP songwriting events, and can count among his fans various executives at Universal Music, Sony Canada, RCA Records, and North Star Media Publishing.

For many years he lived and worked in New York City, performing both solo in clubs and then with a band. He developed a loyal fan base all through relentless performances and word of mouth - no label publicity, no major press, no glitz. David is about what’s real, and what’s real is a song that will touch some aspect of a person’s life and make an indelible mark.

In 2002, after seven years in New York, David relocated to Austin, TX. He has appeared on numerous radio and TV shows, had videos in rotation on Austin Music Network/ME Television, recorded his third EP, his first full length CD, his new live CD/DVD package, signed a publishing deal with North Star, and developed his most dedicated and thorough following to date. Performing regularly in "The Live Music Capitol of The World", David has carved out a niche as not only a melodic and sincere tunesmith, but also one who performs with great energy and will command a crowd.

At every show he converts new people who have never heard or seen him before. His mailing list has ballooned. He plays a brand of rock and roll that is not limited to such genres such as Americana, classic rock, or singer-songwriter restraint. It is a brand which celebrates all of rock music’s melodic past, and one which is still familiar to those who love rock and roll, and all the richness and depth it has to offer.

In February of 2007, David released "Big Red Sun", a 13 song CD featuring such guests as Jon Dee Graham, Cindy Cashdollar, Redd Volkaert, Warren Hood, Don Harvey, Molly Venter, and others. To date he has recorded 3 EPs, 2 compilations, and Big Red Sun, and sells them steadily at shows and out of the back of his truck. There is a consistent flow of high quality songs coming out of him, as well as performances - constant performances. David grew up in Toronto, Canada, but has made the US his target audience. His fan base is currently made up largely of groups of loyal supporters, but as he continues to release music and widen his audience, the larger and more universal his appeal will become.

Update, Fall 2009. David Newbould has relocated to Nashville, TN! The Long Way Home was released nationally through iTunes and other online distributors on Tuesday, September 8!

Gosh honey. That was a really sweet (and funny) comment. Unfortunately, I had to delete it before my bosses saw it and had yet another reason to threaten to fire me. Of course it was all so very true. Thanks. You're so good at sticking up for me!
