MONTANA SONGWRITER

David Walburn

David Walburn’s songs — Polished to perfection

Walburn recently released his new CD “My Embrace: Songs of David Walburn,” a collection of songs he’s written during his career. Produced and recorded entirely in his own Cabin South Studio with longtime friend and musical partner Michael Atherton, the project took six months over the course of last winter to hone into a well-crafted, tight 15-track CD.

“I’m extremely happy with this CD. It’s all about writing songs. I still believe in them.  I want to get them down before I go so they don’t disappear with me. These songs are for my family, friends, and fans who have supported all of my music over the years.”

Captures the Best of Montana

Walburn has managed to cover the essence of the Last Best Place with wonderful songs

When I left Montana as a child but it never left me and this album takes me back.

The tunes are good compositions and each song has great words. My favorites are The Ghost of Charlie Russell, (which uses the same idea as Ian Tyson's The Gift of Russell painting the sky) and When the Land Belonged to God (the name of a CMR painting). Going to the Sun describes the massive undertaking of building the road in Glacier Park. Sweet Montana Home is funny and Young Heart is touching. All in all, Walburn has managed to cover the essence of the Last Best Place with wonderful songs. I liked it so much, I immediately bought his CD West for America about Lewis & Clark. I guess from other reviews that the one I bought is the second version with multiple instruments.

Five Stars

Awesome music well suited for driving through the Rocky Mountain west

A "must-have" when you visit Montana

If you are visiting Montana, or know someone who is planning to visit Big Sky country, then you REALLY need to buy this album.

Simple beauty

I hope you will enjoy David's music as much as my wife and I , and our friends, have.

Your CDs have helped me to keep picturing Montana in my mind

through the drudgery of temporary office work that I do in between my summer jobs at Yellowstone.  Thanks again for the great songs and the great song writing.  One day I hope to get back up to Whitefish and see you perform live.

Priceless.

I will never grow tired of this album or this story. - J. Herzanek

Excellent Music!

Excellent music done by David on his experience living an early dream of homesteading in Alaska. This is a fantastic album. The bear song is precious.

ALL the albums are good!

Each song takes you on a journey to somewhere we have all been! Keep 'em coming David.
