Jonathan Leviathan by Arthur Davenport
I wanted to publish an album of songs similar to the way that I perform on stage, with ballads sandwiched between instrumentals. I perform that way to rest my voice and hands between ballads, since the instrumentals are easier to play, and provide an interlude between the ballads.
This record has songs that I normally play solo, singing and playing on guitar, enriched with contributions from my artist friends who helped to develop a fuller production.
