Details:
Telling Tales is the new CD from Songwriter/Musician Rob Russell Davies. Covering many different musical styles this album is really about storytelling. Every song tells a different tale, paints a picture, takes you places or ask you questions. Rob's an award winning songwriter, and is the only person to win the Tipperary International Song of Peace competition twice (in 2003 and 2006), as well as being a finalist and semi-finalist in the UK Songwriting Competition.

Six great singers tell the stories in styles ranging from pop, jazz, blues, folk, ballads, soul, theatre and there's even a touch of Africa - where Rob grew up! The melodies are finely crafted and unique, every word means something, the harmonies and arrangements are big and bold and there's a passion running through the album which can't be missed.

To wet you appetite... listen to the song clips and follow some of the stories...
