5.0 out of 5 stars An album of great honesty and beauty March 11, 2017

By A Customer / Format:Audio CD

So glad this is available to the public on Amazon...but who will know to look it up? I never heard the NPR piece but know how effective that kinda press can be. I stumbled on this in the used bins. What cretin would have discarded this? Stephen gets right up to the edge of going too far autobiographically but stops short, thank goodness. With no pretense, he weaves together an achingly beautiful life journey that almost always leads me to the phone to call an old girlfriend or my sisters or my grandfather...wait..he's dead..but I'd picked up the phone forgetting that. After a year of trying to figure out who his voice reminded me of, I nailed it. Dave Loggins who sang Please Come To Boston. Remember that one? I also recommend John Gorka to fans of Stephen.

5.0 out of 5 stars "I like old dirt roads, I don't like Interstates..." May 13, 2017
By A Customer / Format:Audio CD

This CD, which dropped out of sight after an NPR feature several years ago, is one of the most thoughtful since Bob Dylan's gravy years. Do only aging boomers appreciate intelligent lyrics, soulful singing from the heart, melody and sanity any longer? A great CD for a long car trip down old dirt roads at 15 mph, with your dog panting out the window and the thimble-berries and bracken trying to peek in...buy it and support a poet who probably knows it....​

5.0 out of 5 stars Take Time to Know Stephen Allen Davis July 11, 2017
By Diamond Dave / Format:Audio CD

One of the great things about music is that the quest to find great songs leads you down paths you never expected to travel down. One of my favorite things to do is to be educated and entertained. I love finding out that Jimmy Page played guitar on Tom Jones songs such as "It's Not Unusual", as an example.

So, I had heard "HIGHWAY, HIGHWAY" on a 1995 sampler I listened to. Thought it was one of the greatest songs I'd ever heard
(I have over 18,000 songs on my computer alone). I'd categorize this one with lonesome songs like Jimmy Buffet's "Coast of Marseilles". Or like another artist I have recently enjoyed, Jeffrey Gaines, who sounds similar vocally. My wife thought Stephan Allen Davis was Ray Charles! You hear a song like "HIGHWAY, HIGHWAY" and you never forget it. It's that good! Years have passed, and I continue to hunt down great music. I stumbled across The LIGHT PINK ALBUM relatively inexpensively, and I'm like, I'm gonna take a chance on this guy, cause I dug HIGHWAY do much. Well I drop the CD in the car-player and "TAKE TIME TO KNOW HER" starts playing, and I'm immediately going thru all the songs I've heard, and singers I've enjoyed. Who is this? Where have I heard this song before? Sounds like a soul singer. Who sang this originally? I go to the liner notes and notice DAVIS us the writer. Must be a mistake! But as I read that Davis wrote this as a 17 year old, I come to find out that he is the author. Amazing discovery. A little more research takes me to my PERCY SLEDGE records, and he is the artist I've heard do this song so convincingly before. But back to Stephen. Every song sounds fantastic. Sticks in the mud out there may find him to minimalistic to be a good listen. I thought this was a fantastically simple. Hauntingly beautiful. If you enjoy singer-songwriters, pick this up. The production is as if he were in the room with you. Wide open vocals (perhaps in a soulful delivery like Gregg Allman solo albums sound), with guitar and harmonica (like Dylan or Neil Young harp playing), and the occasional piano (think Randy Newman meets Joe Cocker). What a listen.

5.0 out of 5 stars big surprise, November 20, 2015

ByG. I. Aukema "dietie" (The Netherlands) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Light Pink Album (Audio CD)
I accidentally stumbled on this album and it just knocked me flat. I've never heard anyone sing like this: so full of honesty, so full of passion, without any false pretense, it just touches every nerve in your body. It's as if he fully surrenders to the music itself, as if he doesn't sing for his listeners, just for himself, for the music itself, like a meditation, or a prayer. It's my favorite album.

I bought the album several years ago after hearing the NPR interview which included a brief sample of "Take time to know her". All the selections are entertaining and have character...

5.0 out of 5 stars One of a kind songwriter, May 3, 1996
By A Customer

This review is from: Light Pink Album (Audio CD)
This album is so soulful, but you have to catch him live to really get what he's trying to give you. He is my favorite songwriter.

great CD. Never get tired of it. Heard review of it on NPR 2+years ago and finally found it last summer (in Anchorage - not an easy feat).​
 

Finally! by CJ1370 May 1, 2013
The Light Pink Album has been one of my very favorite CD's for years ... I only know one other guy who owned an original, and he gave it to me. Stephen is a huge talent. He not only writes a good song, he can sing it to break your heart. If you doubt it, listen to Still Loving You. These tunes are just insanely good. Don't even think about it - BUY IT!

A TRULY AMAZING CD, by rickeyD April 23, 2013

I found this CD for three dollars in a Los Angeles secondhand store in 1999 along with Josh Rouse's "Dressed Up Like Nebraska" and that six dollars spent that day changed my life forever to this very day. I wore both of those CD's out from listening to them every day...but could not find this one by Stephen Allen Davis anywhere in the world new or used. Thank you I-Tunes ......I just downloaded this Masterpiece again and just like that day almost 10 years ago my world is back in orbit around the songs now on my iPod shuffle...What a GREAT time to be alive to choose and enjoy your favorite music on the go heading north..south...east or west in this big old world. Thanks again ITUNES...this CD is worth millions in memories to me

The Best Album Ever!
    
by JWP392766

I've got more CD's and albums than I can count but this is by far my favorite, bar none. Happy to finally see it for sale -- with a couple of additional songs -- after all these years of wondering why I couldn't find it anywhere. Soulful. Haunting. Deeply expressive. Spiritual, even. Not only will you never tire of it, it will gracefully age with you like fine wine.

Thank You SO Much For Posting This! I have Been Looking For This For A Very Long Time :-] Great Song!!

Hey Steve....Man, you still sing as good as ever. This is an incredible song. Looking back over the years, I don't think you ever realized what a powerful influence you were to a small group of wanna-be musicians in your mom and dad's basement playing music back in the day. It's great to hear your voice again...you da peace man ha!

What's not to like? The Light Pink album is one of my favorite CD's from top to bottom. Good songs, soulful singing, and great playing. And I LOVE the production on this album.
No home should be without one.
