All of David Munyons songs are preserved in his already legendary and voluminous songbook, which in the meantime contains almost 500 unique songs.

Twelve wonderful songs have been carefully chosen from this collection - bedded in a varied mixture of styles from Americana, blues and folk to rock – for the eagerly-awaited new studio album “Pretty Blue”. These profound and predominantly autobiographical stories tell of stations in David Munyons eventful life. Each song is a jewel in itself, shining with a dazzling beauty born of David’s love and deeply felt beliefs.

Sit back, enjoy and soak in this special listening experience with „goose-bumps“ guarantee! David Munyon sings many extremely personal, deeply touching love songs with his very intense voice – a voice which gets right under your skin, and these songs could not have been arranged and instrumented more sensitively or suitably: among others by Lutz Möller on the Fender Rhodes, Ian Melrose on guitars, Hans-Jörg Maucksch and Grischka Zepf on basses.

An extensive and detailed booklet - with surprising photos from David’s private family album and fascinating liner notes about his cryptic lyrics - rounds the whole thing off perfectly and is a fitting accompaniment to this masterpiece!

David’s dream of becoming a famous movie star unfortunately didn’t transpire, as we can glean from the booklet, but that is just one aspect. It is an irrefutable fact that within the American singer-songwriter tradition he is on a par with such luminaries as Bob Dylan and Townes van Zandt, a fact which far too few music-lovers have discovered for themselves. Brian Wilson quotes Munyon as being "probably one of the best songwriters ever!" Enough said!

Stockfisch Records had released his CD Album „Big Shoes“ in 2009, on which David Munyon sings folk and rock songs of his favourite musical heroes, e.g.: "Purple Rain" (Prince), Sugar Mountain (Neil Young), Father And Son (Cat Stevens), Imagine (John Lennon), Ol´55 (Tom Waits), Forever Young (Bob Dylan) and many more...

David Munyon requested that these tracks be accompanied by Stockfisch´s "house" musicians - Chris Jones, Mike Silver, Hans-Jörg Maucksch, Beo Brockhausen, to name just a few. The resulting two CDs are continuing chapters of David´s life as a singer/songwriter…

"Munyon´s voice is one you will instantly recognize, it is unique, his guitar/vocal songs are unique, and I have noticed that in the last five years, he has been the most frequent singer in my stereo system. I rank Munyon as one of the top 10 singer-songwriters in the US. God knows how difficult it is to describe greatness, or to explain it, I can just say he’s a great singer, or how good are his lyrics, and you won’t understand until you listen." Moshe Benarroch.

David Munyon-CD releases from Stockfisch-Records:

David Munyon’s first tour of Germany in 1994 left behind audiences that were too moved for words. He has turned his stories and experiences into more than 400 songs, which he sings with introspection, tenderness and an unbelievable intensity. Townes van Zandt, Lee Clayton, John Prine and Randy Newman may have been some of his varied influences, but "Not since Neil Young’s 'Ragged Glory' have the hearts of Rock ‘n’ Roll Folkies been so touched" (this written in the German newspaper "Die ZEIT". In 1998, Stockfisch released David’s second CD on their label: Poet Wind !

In 1996, David Munyon recorded his first release "Slim Possibilities" ” on the Stockfisch label, in a joint venture with Glitterhouse Records.

"Gunter Pauler created a breathtaking backing sound that the listener will be speechless about. Pauler had a little help of musician like, Chris Jones: Guitars, Harmony vocal, Hans-Jorg Maucksch: Electric Bass, Frank  Fiedler: Acoustic bass, Beo Brockhausen: Hurdy-Gurdy, Jew's-harp, John Hickman: Banjo, Byron Berline: Fiddle, Steve Baker: Harp and Hrolfur Vagnsson: Accordion.

Already on the first track, Mississippi Rain, you will hear the sound of the typical Munyon fret-less bass guitar and an acoustic guitar solo of the master himself. The power on this album you will find in, Slim Possibilities." - from: www.realrootscafe.com
