The disc’s blend of traditional and or iginal material\, virtuosic musicianship and iconic cover art trumpeted the arrival of a new artist of audacious vision. Over the course of seve n more albums for Columbia &\; Fantasy Records and through associatio ns with Bob Dylan\, Jerry Jeff Walker\, John Hartford\, George Harrison\ , the Grateful Dead\, Emmylou Harris and Bonnie Raitt\, Bromberg’s rep utation and following grew exponentially. However\, the incessant demand s of touring finally brought the recordings and shows to an end in the e arly 1980s.\n\nA twenty-two-year drought ended in 2006 with the release of the Grammy-nominated solo effort Try Me One More Time. In 2011 David followed up with Use Me\, a typically unorthodox Bromberg-ian effort\, p artnering him with Linda Ronstadt\, Vince Gill\, Los Lobos\, Dr. John\, Keb’ Mo\, John Hiatt\, Levon Helm and others as David asked them to ei ther write or choose songs and then produce him performing them.\n\nTwo more albums emerged from 2013 to 2017\, Only Slightly Mad and The Blues the Whole Blues and Nothing But the Blues\, both produced by 3 x Grammy winner Larry Campbell. Recorded at Levon Helm’s Barn\, Only Slightly M ad brought the band back to David’s eclectic ‘kitchen sink’ musica l philosophy\, while The Whole Blues proved Texas fiddler Johnny Gimbel s theory that: “There are only two songs—‘The Star-Spangled Bann er’ and the blues.” The band skipped the ‘Banner’ and headed str aight for the blues\, winning the 2017 Downbeat Critic’s Poll for Best Blues Album.\n\nWith David’s band settling into its current lineup: M ark Cosgrove (guitar\, mandolin\, vocals)\, Nate Grower (fiddle\, mandol in\, guitar\, vocals)\, Josh Kanusky (drums\, vocals) and newest member\ , Suavek Zaniesienko (bass\, vocals)\, they entered the studio in mid-20 19 for a different approach to record-making. The resulting album\, Big Road\, gives Bromberg fans the most intimate portrait to date of David a nd his band\, musically and visually. Featuring twelve new recordings\, five hi-def performance videos and a mini-documentary detailing the albu m’s creation\, the content rich album was released on Compass/Red Hous e Records as a CD/DVD combo pack and gatefold vinyl album. Unfortunately COVID put an end to all live shows until fall 2021\, which is where Dav id is poised to write his next chapter.
