David Byron Ragsdale
intro || news || mp3 || reviews || extras

They say an artist has a lifetime to make his or her first record. Former Philadelphia cult favorite David Byron Ragsdale (now making his mark in Portland, ME) took that maxim to heart. In Here unearths a baker's dozen of rootsy, power pop recordings that fit nicely alongside the likes of The Rasberries, Marshall Crenshaw, and NRBQ. Check out the exhuberant "July", his would-be Elvis movie track "Disappointed", and the dreamy "Woolgathering", and you'll hear why it was time to set the stage for a sophomore effort.
