After 15 years of working in the music and theatre world, I finally decided to make my first vinyl album. That was 1990. Over the past 20 years these 5 albums have only been a part of my life working in the arts. Writing and performing music is my main focus. However, I have kept a roof over my head and food on the table as an actor, stage designer and technician, director, composer, musician, and teacher. My life has been on the stage in theatres or in clubs and bars. With more than 500 songs i have written, the 5 CD's contain 64 songs. These 16 songs are just a fragment; a small collection. (notes from the original CD album liner) Also: All instruments and vocals by David James Carlson, except: Heartbreak Woman- vocals, Dawn LeClair and Ellie Favell; drums, Russ Dugger; piano, Ken Favell; harmonica, David LeClair. Cascade River- harmonica, David LeClair. The Valley- vocals, Dawn LeClair and Ellie Favell. Single Lane Highway and Daddy Drove Truck- vocals, Dawn LeClair. Photography- Kely Wakely
