I hope you like it and that it speaks to you in some way. Thank you in advance for listening,

New track from N1M artist David Chenault.

From Christian Music Reviews:

Reviewing David Chenault's 'Somewhere Along The Road Tour'.

Foggy river bottoms, pilot boats, Pentecostal tent revivals...David Chenault has had many life experiences, and they are very evident in his music. When he was a small boy, his dad would play Hank Williams, Johnny Horton, Johnny Cash, Mahalia Jackson, Country & Western, and Jazz records on an old RCA record player.

As a result of these early eclectic experiences, David's influences became wide and varied, resulting in a deep love and respect for all forms of traditional American music.

David was raised in church, in the southern Pentecostal tradition. There, he began to develop a love for the spiritual and soulful sounds of what he calls "Delta Gospel". A sound, he says that "is completely unique to the southern Pentecostal church, but that became the most influential sound ever in American Music". Elvis, Ry Cooder, Creedence Clearwater, Hank Williams, Russ Taff, and entire generations of black musicians, blues players and Rock & Roll musicians, all borrowed heavily from the unique sounds of this "Delta Gospel".

Even many years later as a rock musician, his fans would mention the unique style and sound of David's music. It seems he simply could not leave his "first love" - or rather, it couldn't leave him. John Fogerty, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Russ Taff, Hank Williams Sr., early Elvis Presley, and many traditional Pentecostal artists, have all had a big influence on David's music.

Even though you can hear these influences in his music, David Chenault sounds like no one else, and no one else sounds like him. I remember when I first experienced David's music. I saw him on TV in Ohio, it was a live concert at a church in Cincinnati. I was taken aback by his music's uniqueness and freshness. I had never heard any Christian artist quite like him.

David is one of those rare artist's that is much better live and in person, than he is in a studio. His live performances are what really won me over. I must admit, a while later when I got the chance to catch him live in concert in Huntington, West Virginia, that I immediately became a fan.

The one thing that I think separates David from his peers is his songwriting. Rare is the artist who can arrange, write and produce as prolifically as he does. His poetry and lyrical mastery are evident throughout his songwriting.

His honest approach and obvious love for traditional American gospel music is infectious and compelling. Now I too am a fan of this "Delta Gospel". My hope is that he will continue to write, produce, and perform Christian music for us all. Believe me, when I say that Christian Music needs David Chenault much more than he needs it...

If you love traditional American music , music that is primal, original and relevant, and music that invokes the Spirit and speaks of a life lived by faith, you will truly love the epic poetry and soulful grace of David Chenault...

Hello,

I am super excited to announce that my latest track, "Somewhere Along The Road" is being officially released today!

I wanted you guys to be the first to hear it. "Somewhere Along The Road" is probably the most personal and autobiographical song I have ever written. It is an honest first-hand account of my experiences with and knowledge of my walk with our Lord and Savior.

The song is written from and admittedly with a highly allegorical and personal perspective of life and faith in Jesus Christ. I admit it uses a lot of imagery to accomplish it's point but I believe it works to keep things interesting and honest,

Please give it a spin and let me know what you think. I pray you like it and I am truly grateful for all the good and great things I am blessed with.

Blessings,
David Chenault

Hello everyone!

I hope you are doing well and everything is going great for you. I wanted to update you on what's been going on. For the past few weeks, I have been in the studio working on my latest track entitled "Somewhere Along The Road".

With all the changes that have been going on due to Covid 19, I thought you might find it interesting to know that this social distancing thing actually has turned out to be a blessing in disguise for me.

As a by-product of Covid, I have worked out a system with some awesome musicians where we share files back and forth across this amazing thing we call the Internet. The Internet has made it possible for me to write and record the rhythm tracks on guitar, then to share these files one by one with the other players. Then, each one of them lays down their part and returns it back to me for final approval.

From start to finished product, It usually takes about a month to complete each track. This allows me to proceed at a steady but rapid pace and also gives me the flexibility to produce the final product at home in my DAW without any loss in sound quality.

As a result of all of this, I have rediscovered my love for producing music. I obviously am a songwriter first, but I also love to produce. I hope you find this interesting, I tried not to bore you with too many details. Like I said, I just wanted to touch base with you and keep you informed.

Thank you for taking the time to read. I will continue to keep you informed in the next few days on the progress of the new track. You will be among the first to hear it and of course you will be able to download it or just STREAM it for FREE!
I will talk to you soon. Please be on the lookout for my next message.

Thanks so much for reading.

Blessings,
David Chenault
