​David Quinn (from the album Letting Go available on Low Down Records) (by Bryant Liggett)
David Quinn’s exploration of Country music and all its offshoots leaves nary a stone unturned. He’s not just dipping a toe into the wide Country ocean, he is diving headfirst to taking a lap around the entire body of water and venturing into its tributaries. David Quinn’s latest, Letting Go is a fresh splash of Folk and Outlaw Country, two-stepping dance-floor diddies and classic Honky Tonk, Southern Rock and Cow Punk. 
The Psych-Folk opener, simply titled “Intro”, is a short escape tune, a melody where a subtle flamenco guitar yields to feedback, an introduction to the chicken picking that introduces the Country Rock of the title track. A click-clack, locomotive rhythm charges across “Ride On” and “Thunderbird Wine” gives the Rockabilly influenced cut an encouraging kick over to the Psychobilly neighborhood while “1000 Miles” and “Midnightin’ Woman” are pulled from an era of Classic Country where there’s a groove of Cowboy Funk.  Both “I Hope I Don’t” and “Let Me Die with My Boots On” are pedal steel heavy two-steppers, the former a weeper, the latter ripe for a drunken singalong. “Born to Lose” is a Blues influenced, jam-band ready bout of Southern Rock. Letting Go ends like it begins, the short opener “Intro” hinting at heading west to ‘get a job and go drinking all night down in sunny L.A.’, the narrative continuing in the album closer “Maybe I’ll Move Out to California”. The Folk cut wraps the record as it begins, bookending David Quinn’s diverse, Country music package. (by Bryant Liggett)
