![]() David Newbould (from the album Sin & Redemption on Rock Ridge Music) On Sin & Redemption, David Newbould balances good times and bad days, walking the wire between the two sides in his stories as an observer, witnessing the characters and their decisions with no judgments. Sin & Redemption faces its demons in “Smiling in the Rain”, David Newbould celebrating hard-worn successes with help on electric guitar from musical friend Dan Baird (Georgia Satellites, The Yayhoos, Homemade Sin). The tales of Sin & Redemption run parallel to life, the storylines portraying both sides of the looking glass, David Newbould seeing the choices as ‘you face the question of ‘do I make the right decision here, or the wrong decision? And if I do make the wrong decision, I’ll still have to find a way to make things work’. If a character in a song takes the ‘wrong’ way, there’s still a chance they’ll come back. You’re always looking at a point of no return, but you have to stay positive. That’s the only way you’re going to make it to the end’. A Rock’n’Roll beat courses like blood, flowing and fueling “Sensitive Heart”, the opening cut on Sin & Redemption. Country Rock jangle strums the chords for a father’s pride in “Sweet Virginia Morn” as “L.A. Dreams” find a burial spot in the San Fernando Valley heat while David Newbould drives “Long Road to Barstow” on open desert sonics and digs deep into swamp root grooves for “Diamonds in the Dark”. A revolving rhythm circles the song as David Newbould shares love with “Oh Katy (Just Getting’ By”), opening his heart to read its contents with “Love You Too Much” (Henry’s Song)” while Sin & Redemption rides a rambunctious tale of family in the title track.
