ALBUM REVIEW: Glazbury Rd by David Goundry

London-based singer-songwriter, David Goundry’s forthcoming album Glazbury Rd (November 1) takes one on a nostalgic journey through the golden age of 60s and 70s pop/rock. With a refreshing authenticity that’s hard to find, David channels the influence of legends from the analogue era while offering his own distinct voice and storytelling.

Produced by veteran Nik Sykes and featuring contributions from the iconic session guitarist Hugh Burns (known for his work with George Michael and Paul McCartney), Glazbury Rd has an undeniable warmth and richness. Each of the album’s eight tracks feels meticulously crafted, from the Beatlesque vibes to the melodic ballads that gently tug at the heartstrings. Songs like “Lucy” and “Saving Grace” balance intricate arrangements with easy-going melodies that reflect David’s mastery of classic songwriting techniques.

What sets the album apart is its simplicity. David doesn’t lean on overproduction or digital polish; instead, he lets the musicianship and songwriting shine through. Tracks like “On My Way” embrace the essence of rock and roll, with tight rhythms and electric guitar flourishes that harken back to a time when music felt both personal and communal.

Crafted with vintage warmth, Glazbury Rd is a love letter to a bygone era, yet it doesn’t feel dated. With a rich blend of 60s pop, heartfelt ballads, and rock n roll, there’s a timeless quality that makes these tracks just as relevant now as they would have been decades ago.
