Bobby Long tries his hand at poetry
By Tom Lanham
sfexaminer.com Posted on July 18, 2012  British Gothic-folk guitarist Bobby Long is justifiably excited these days. He co-composed “Let Me Sign,” which his actor friend Robert Pattinson sang on the “Twilight” soundtrack. More recently, he moved to New York City, and issued two recordings, “A Winter Tale” and “The Backing Singer EP,” on ATO. He also just wrapped a new fall-slated disc with producer Ted Hutt, featuring bluesy originals such as “Devil Moon,” “Waiting for Dawn” and “Blood in the Orchard.” “It’s a lot heavier — I’m playing electric guitar on every track,” he says.

Just been introduced to Bobby Long's music. Absolutely love it. He is a "songwriter" musician and his songs and voice are perfect for his style. I put him in a category with John Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, Lyle Lovett, and Steven Earle.(obviously I'm a southwestern gal and these are some of my influences). His songs are like the ballads and poetry of artists I like to see perform. Hope Bobby makes a visit to Texas
Hi Jan--someone is having a private party with Bobby performing at later this summer in Texas. Check out the forum here and you can find more info about it if you're interested.
