One Step, Then Away - David T Carter

One Step Then Away
David T Carter 2006

One step then away,
Temptation the lurid disaster,
Which one would you say,
Is the one you will master,
This dancing's insane,
I've never felt,
Permanent laughter,
Don't tell me your name,
Keep dancing,
For here ever after,

With the light on you,
With the light on you

This dance is game,
I'm taking the reigns,
Like a fool from an old,
Western movie,
Like some hero,
Steps out of the rain,

One step then away,
Like chocolates,
Laid out on a platter,
Which one would you say,
Is the one,
You are after,
This dancing's insane,
I'm living the life,
Of another,
Don't tell me your name,
Keep dancing for here ever after,

With the light on you,
With the light on you,

This dance is game I'm,
Taking the reigns,
Like a fool from an old western movie,
Like some hero steps out of the rain,

With the light on you,
With the light on you,

This dancing's insane.

A Strange Kind of Blue – David T. Carter

Moving into yet another musical style, David T. Carter’s debut album, “A Strange Kind Of Blue” takes from the lounge, jazz, “cocktail hour” music of the 50’s & 60’s, the decades he seems to reminisce on a lot, even the album cover has a visual similarity to one of Carter’s favorite films of the 60’s “The Swimmer” with Burt Lanchaster.

This album features the beautiful female voice of “Alison Harris”, a local folk singer from Sonoma County doing harmonies throughout the entire album, also footwork from Local Flamenco Artist “La Fibi” and a host of other great Sonoma County musicians, a very elegant album, once again drawing from the elegance of the 50’s & 60’s and putting a modern cool to it with an always subtle edge that keeps the music fresh at all times.

A Strange Kind Of Blue was produced by UK Producer Gavin Monoghan , who has a near 40 yr career with local and international artists such as Scott Matthews , Robert Plant, Editors, The Twang, The Blinders and worked in studios such as Abbey Road, BBC Maila Vale, Olympic Studio. Gavin tracked the album at Carter’s NorCal Studio and mixed the album back at his own Magic Garden Studios in Bristol, England. Gavin who was quoted after hearing Carters music for the first time as saying, “I love the, I’ve lost the map & don’t care anymore feeling I get when I listen to your music”.
