David T. Chastain the “Odd Ball” releases
31st August 2022“ODD BALL” is a collection of over 2 hours of instrumentals culled from David T. Chastain’s vast catalog of instrumental releases. David’s unique ability to play so many different styles so well is a testament to his longevity as a musician. This collection showcases his ability to play metal, hard rock, fusion, jam, blues, classical and other esoteric styles.
David states: “I have always played a little outside of the box and more than once was categorized as ‘Odd’ so I set about putting together tracks that are a little out of the ordinary to capitalize on that nomenclature.”
“ODD BALL Demos and Live Stuff” is a collection of live music and demos of instrumentals from David’s career. Many have never before been heard by the public. This collection showcases his ability to play a wide array of musical styles in a rawer environment.
David states: “This collection has a lot of energy that a studio recording sometimes lacks when you set about layering track after track after track. I hadn’t heard many of these in years and was surprised how well they held up in their stripped-down format.”
David’s final words on the release: “To be honest I don’t know if I will ever record another all-new instrumental release. I feel these collections, which are in reality 4 albums’ worth of material, will make a good statement on my instrumental music. There are some new arrangements that the serious fan should recognize. I am pretty proud all in all of the way things turned out. Now I need a vacation!”
