EP Review: David Lorango 'Ride All Night'

Born in Massachusetts and raised in California, David Lorango has a passion for country music that began when he was a child. He fell in love with country music’s earnest songwriting and heartfelt lyrics, and eventually picked up the guitar and begin writing and singing his own country songs. In 2014 David got together with producer Davey Rieley and songwriter Zak Bowman to write songs for his recent EP, Ride All Night. The four song collection has that modern country sound, yet stays true to the tradition of storytelling, particularly on the title track and “Leaves of November.” The former, a romantic tune about spending time with the girl he loves, has a nice introduction that falls into a melody that is easy to nod your head or tap your foot along to. That sentiment continues with the heartfelt “Leaves of November” about remembering the one who got away. Things take a turn toward the rockier edge of country with “Little Bit Wrong” while “Down Home Girl,” a mid-tempo song about meeting that country girl who you can “take home to mom,” (in of all places, a bar) rounds out the project.

Currently, selling out venues in California with his energetic live shows, Ride All Night is a debut EP you should give a listen.
