Reverie

From Richmond, VA, Louis Ledford borrows from Randy Newman's style of crawling inside a character. Ledford spent much of the '90s fronting and writing songs for the alt-country band Used Carlotta. Produced by Bob Rupe (mandolin, bass, drums, guitars), the Reverie sessions were loose and live. From the civil war era Belle Isle to a first-hand account of a trip to N.Y.C. shortly after September 11, Ledford finds the tender heart at the core of both epic and small subjects. Louis Ledford is a great songwriter; witty, insightful, and observant regarding the oddities of human behavior. There is a real powerful air of truth in his music. - Creative Loafing, Atlanta.
