David Corley’s New EP and Tour
Cover art and design by Kari Auerbach
David Corley, whose triumphant story is now legendary among the world of independent music, has come back from the dead (literally) to produce a new 2016 EP entitled, appropriately, Lights Out. This EP, again produced by Hugh Christopher Brown, is a follow-up to Available Light, his debut album released near the end of 2014.
Where Available Light was quiet and introspective Americana with a couple of rockers, this new EP rocks and rolls, circa 1970. Corley doesn’t hold back on sing-talking his way through each song, with powerful, shaggy vocals in the forefront. There is such a great, up-tempo 70’s groove throughout the whole album. It’s heavy on guitar, organ (with a serious nod to early Petty), and drums, but still as lyrical and poetic as Available Light. He does slow down a bit and sings a country-blues tale of bad timing and missed opportunities on “Blind Man”, which includes the mournful whine of a harmonica, reminiscent of a Willie Nelson song.
Please check out Cara Gibney’s heartfelt article and interview with David, which includes the real-life story behind “Blind Man”, working with Sherman Holmes, and partner-love Kari Auerbach’s artistic interpretation of the album cover: http://nodepression.com/interview/lights-out-david-corley

“Selah” by David Corley is Released by Prisoners
David Corley wrote a song and gave it to his friend and producer, Hugh Christopher Brown. Chris took the song to the prisoners that he mentors at Pittsburgh Institution in Canada in a program called Pros and Cons Program. The result, along with an entire album of other songs, is a powerful reminder of humanity at its finest, regardless of prison walls.

David Corley – World Domination Postponed For Now…
Less than two weeks after my last post about David Corley, he collapsed on stage during the final song of his set while playing at the TakeRoot festival in The Netherlands. A quick-thinking audience member gave him CPR and saved his life. He is still in the hospital in Groningen, NL as of this writing, resting and recovering. He is surrounded by love, near and far. His producer, band mate, and friend, H. Chris Brown is by his side, keeping David’s humor up (see picture, above).
A fundraiser has been set up to offset David’s medical bills. This man has a heart of gold, but now his heart needs some TLC, too. Please donate so he can recover without worry and continue to make beautiful music. Thank you.
