Editorial review
Best-known in the New York region for his work with Jackalope Junction, Dave Isaacs is a talented songwriter and guitarist and his debut album Prodigal Son shows a confident artist at work, particularly in the arrangements, which are warm, fluid, and pop/jazzy. The songs themselves fall on the intimate side of adult contemporary, and Isaacs' voice has a comfortable, familiar feel to it, sounding like Elton John at times or a quietly soul-searching Jim Croce. The sad torch song "Isabella," which opens the album, pretty much sets the table. ~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
Recorded in Nashville and New York with a cast of guest musicians including fiddle virtuoso Peter Hyrka (Gypsy Hombres) and steel guitar wizard John Widgren (Victoria Shaw, Western Caravan, Commander Cody & his Lost Planet Airmen), Prodigal Son's nine songs on themes of relationships, family, and redemption range in tone from exuberant rockers to haunting, classically-influenced chamber folk. Isaacs' resonant baritone voice is complemented and supported throughout by his formidable instrumental prowess on acoustic steel- and nylon-string guitars, electric guitar, and mandolin.
Reviews:
Dave Isaacs is a classically-trained guitarist who has melded the technical expertise of his past very structured musical study with the originality, freedom and creativity of roots rock and other influences. Prodigal Son, his debut solo release, showcases his talented writing, singing, and guitar performance.
