New Song, Ode to New Orleans, About Hurricane Katrina, by Louisiana Artist Daniel Glen Timms Hits the Radio Airwaves with a Music Video That Urges Restoration of the City
Singer, songwriter, guitarist Daniel Glen Timms has just released his first single, "Ode to New Orleans," from his new album, La La Land, on Blue Earth Records. The song is about the Louisiana-native artist's Hurricane Katrina experience, and is being played on the radio throughout the United States and at radio stations in Europe.
New Orleans, LA, February 11, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The first single is from the new 10-song CD, La La Land, on the Nashville-based label, Blue Earth Records. The stunning music video, which was shot on location and directed by Timms, also serves to urge the rebuilding and restoration of New Orleans, by showing the sheer beauty of the city. La La Land is the follow-up to the singer, songwriter and guitarist’s first album The Highway Home, which received critical acclaim and commercial radio airplay throughout the U.S. The rave reviews included:
∗ the highest-rated rock review of the year in Music Connection Magazine - Los Angeles, California
∗ Gillian Nash of Logo Magazine called “a master of subtly nuanced music for the heart and soul” - London, England
∗ Leonard Gray of L’Observateur said “at least three breakout singles possible” - New Orleans, Louisiana.
The new CD was produced by DGT and was recorded at El Dorado Studios in Los Angeles and Soundstage Studios in Nashville. His band was an all-star line-up, including the rhythm section of Greg and Matt Bissonette, keyboardist Brett Tuggle, saxophonist Phil Kinzie and fiddler Buddy Spicher.
“Ode to New Orleans” is an epic recording that tells of Daniel’s evacuation of his apartment in the Big Easy the day before the storm hit, and his subsequent return and the emotions that went with it. The haunting saxophone intro pulls the listener in and the lyric and melody tell a story through to the ending, where the exciting arrangement of vocals feels like a Brian Wilson-inspired harmonic love for the city that was almost lost to the storm.
The new album has some excellent guitar work that recalls days of yore, ranging from screaming guitar leads, to softy finger-picked acoustic sounds. The production, arrangement, and the band are first rate on this CD. This brew of ingredients in a gumbo of great songs makes for a sonic feast, indeed.
