Music Sunday with David James Allen! Listening to David James Allen, it often feels as if he's channeling every cool record you’ve ever owned. Built upon a rootsy funkiness that’s part JJ Cale and The Band, accentuated with shades of Daptone and Bill Withers, his songs spin off into emotional realms populated by the likes of Bob Dylan, Townes Van Zandt and Harry Nilsson.
David James Allen has been releasing music for more than a decade, but over the past five years—after moving eastward from Toronto to the wilds of Prince Edward County—he has been
startlingly prolific. Beginning with 2017’s When The Demons Come and carrying on through 2020’s Radiations and the following year’s The Architect, Allen has been steadily amassing a remarkable body of work that stands alongside those of any of his Canadian contemporaries.Now comes By The Summertime, an album that keeps Allen’s winning streak solidly intact.
“There are gorgeous layers and textures that give ‘Another Day Older’ captivating depth. Over the rich and rhythmic instrumentation, Allen’s voice carries an easy and engaging melody." - Andrew Frolish, Americana UK
