Bobby Long is probably best known among modern day teens for being best pals with Twilight heartthrob Rob Pattison and for penning a song for the first movie of the dramatic series. But if there’s anything I’ve learned from my own youth, it’s that teens are totally silly. Long’s debut album, A Winter Tale, will be released by ATO Records on February 1st. Soon (if not already) Bobby Long will be known for his hauntingly honest lyrics and voice as reassuringly soulful as it is appealingly vulnerable.
The British singer songwriter recently performed the song “A Passing Tale” off of his upcoming debut under the Manhattan Bridge, with little more than freezing winds and the city skyline in attendance. For someone who can still look that cool while being that cold is pretty rad in my book.
A Winter Tale was produced by Liam Watson, who also put the magic touch on The White Stripes’ album, Elephant. That’s pretty much the icing on the cake over here. But if there’s still convincing to be made, Bobby Long takes his authentic musical swagger on the road next week and hits New York at the Bowery Ballroom on March 3rd.
