| Louis Ledford
"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."
- J. Kelly, Creative Loafing, Atlanta
"Ledford's attention to lyrical detail is simply stunning."
-J. Holgren, Music Magazine
Although a city kid born and raised in Richmond, VA, Louis Ledford's
familiar roots lay in Western North Carolina and Southwestern
Virginia where as a child he soaked up the rural culture and music.
Ledford spent much of the 1990's fronting and writing songs for the

John Fante and William Faulkner as influences. "I see myself as a
storyteller. My songs are like very short stories." |

Reverie
|
In February 2004, with Bob
Rupe on board as co-producer and engineer
and some of Richmond\'s finest musicians, Ledford began recording his
debut solo album entitled REVERIE. The studio was Bob's Victorian era
home. The sessions were loose and live, recorded without headphones,
with little isolation or other studio trappings. "Heck, we had the
windows open on one unusually hot afternoon. You could hear dogs
barking on the tracks." From the civil war era "Belle Isle" to a
