David Grissom, from Mark McNabb

September 7, 2007 |

Austin's most famous unknown guitarist is David Grissom , who has a CD out called Loud Music . In the first four tracks and on tracks eight to 10 he shows why he's a favorite among those fortunate enough to hear him. As a boy wonder in 1989 on Joe Ely's Live at Liberty Lunch, he impressed the critics enough to warrant several Guitar Player magazine stories and an instructional CD deal. After playing on two more rock-oriented John Mellencamp CDs in the 90s, he left to return to Austin and do his own thing. Loud Music gives you a glimmer of his playing with sustain and getting a harmonic chime right up to feedback as he picks like a West Texas storm. Worth a listen. Find it at Waterloo Records Austin online , or elsewhere on the Web. One way I can tell if I really like a CD is to put it in the pickup and the next time I get in, if the volume startles me, then it is a good one. This one has some! Also, he has a new signature guitar out.
