With the voice of a rabble rousing street preacher and the
words of a poet nursing a wound with duct tape, Greg Dale
has come to set it down. His first solo album, Songs From
the Shallow Waters, has a feel and sound all its own,
recalling the honest roughness of young Bruce Springsteen,
the plaintive longing of Neil Young and the boot-thumping
roots rock of the Band. Recorded in Berkeley, California
with Noah Landis of Neurosis, the songs are filled with
hope, strife and little pieces of sage advice, like a throw
back to Poor Richardâs Almanack. Songs with a bite and a
Band-Aid.

" Behind the stars... i will show you my scars "

Formerly singer and lead guitarist of Sorrow Town Choir, an
underground band based in San Francisco, and the true
front man of Midnight Riders, the animated southern rock
zombie band in the multi-million selling video game Left
For Dead II, Greg has drawn from a deeper source for these
songs. They were written in the pale light of early morning,
bent over his acoustic guitar with freight trains rumbling
outside the windows of his reclaimed warehouse, a
sanctuary in the middle of industry. A newly found focus
finds him writing the best songs of his career. Greg Dale is
clear eyed and strong, singing out the long nightâs end.

" Donât take much to make me want what I donât have and I
donât have much need for the things that I do⦠"

Songs From the Shallow Waters is recorded in spare and
intimate style-- voice and guitar captured in performance,
building to more dense, eclectic orchestrations enriched by
talented local musicians on piano, guitars, and percussion.
The song âsee how she glowsâ stands out as a potential
single, while âottawa hillsâ with its haunting pedal steel will
appeal to broader New Folk and Alt-Country audiences.
Greg has been writing and playing for the past twenty
years, opening for acts as diverse as Rocco de Luca and Dale
Watson. This will become the album you turn to at the end
of your own long night, when you are alone and wondering
what the new day will bring. His songs will reach you, if you
let them in.

Those notes above were written by my dear friend Galadrielle Allman and i ( g.d ) would just like to thank everyone who
