Description
New release by David Corley following the highly acclaimed debut "Available Light" album. David endured a not-so-idyllic childhood on a horse farm in the town of Lafayette in Indiana despite loving, close knit family relations with his grandma Annabelle, mother Sarah, sister Annie and their two dogs "Moose" and "Ox".

When he was nineteen, David had a series of ecstatic visionary and mystical experiences. After leaving the University of Georgia at the age of 20, he travelled across the country delivering trucks, and began to read and write obsessively. By the time he went back to University of Georgia (to study computer science?), he started to develop his voice as a songwriter, often breaking in to the Fine Arts Building to play his wild, original music on a grand piano in the middle of the night.

His subsequent jaunts ultimately drove him to live off the land for a few years in a remote cabin on a mountain in Georgia. If his heart hadn't exploded at the age of 40, David reckons he would still be there... but chose to recover from his surgery in his hometown of Lafayette, Indiana.

At the age of 53, Corley releases his debut album, Available Light, produced by Canadian multi- instrumentalist Hugh Christopher Brown. Then things go very fast, and within a few months after release David tours Italy, Ireland, UK and the Netherlands with BJ Baartmans and his band Wild Connection.

The collaberation works so well that promoters, punters and press alike all rave about the energetic and powerful performances. And also David, producer Hugh Christopher Brown, and the band record new tracks on off days.

But then, after an impressive set at the Take Root Festival in Groningen, David announces the encore and hits the stage floor struck by a massive heart attack. After intensive treatment at the University Medical Center, Groningen and a long and restful recuperation at home, David is now "in better shape than ever before" and together with Cristopher Brown he finished the tracks he recorded in Studio Wild Verband alongside a bunch of new songs.

Here presented as Lights Out, David's very personal expression of life after death!
