Bio / Background
"Take Me Back" is a CD featuring the original songs and vocal abilities of Dave Cantrell. This Cd Boasts about songs reflecting the heart of the musician, songs of God`s unchangeableness and mans` fickleness, songs of mom and dad and the old days and ways, the sad state of modern country music and the abandoning of people because the industry deems them unmarketable, songs of love, loss, and the hope for a future reunion.
Dave Cantrell is a mature artist, who has lived a full life, worked hard to raise his family, loved his wife for going on 28 years, and sacrificed opportunities to go into the music business professionally earlier in life because he considered those preceeding things as more important. He has worked in sawmills, many years in factories, He was a mailman, youth pastor, fence installer, air cargo loader, and is currently the lead singer, harmony singer, mandolinist and musical director at the Pigeon Forge Tenn. dinner theater "Fiddlers Feast".

Fred Bartenstein, bluegrass historian and radio and web host states, "Dave Cantrell has an excellent voice, writes interesting songs, and has achieved an excellent sounding recording".
Jason Hooker of bluegrassworks.com - "Take Me Back" is a great blend of old style bluegrass and new style writing. "
Gracie Muldoon, syndicated web and radio Dj- "have you heard Dave Cantrell sing "Never Leave Harlan Alive? His rendition beats Patty Loveless`... and hers is great. Check him out".
Richard White DJ, WQSV Ashland City Tenn.- "We need more folks like you- just wish the industry would be more receptive to real country and gospel music,"like it was in `52"...". Quote from "They Don`t Make Country Music".
Dave sings all the lead vocals, and most of the harmonies, and plays guitar on everything except the break in "They Don`t make Country Music". Steve Ison plays mandolin and sings some harmonies, and plays lead guitar on "They Don`t make Country Music". This project was recorded on an MCI 24 track reel to reel tape recorder, giving it that warm, vintage sound. Who needs digital.
