 David Ball Scouting Report - 2007 NFL Draft Prospect

Ball played in 11 games and caught 38 passes as a slot receiver as a freshman as he struggled to adjust to the college game.
Ball says the last time he was timed in the 40-yard dash was as a sophomore when he was clocked at 4.6 seconds (Rice's time as a college senior).

The name "David Ball" would be a household name and the album would be at the top of the charts with a Grammy Award for best Country Album.
Ball gives a nod to contemporary Country in the form of "Saving Private Malone", which is a song about a soldier's lost dream becoming another person's reality and is a song that in these troubled times would become a number one hit if it was ever given a chance on the airways.
David Ball, while not really in the alternative category, is another one of those distinctive voices from Texas who deserves a close listen because he not only has a parcel of talent as a singer and musician but also understands and studies tradition and form.

 Amazon.ca: Starlite Lounge: Music: David Ball   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
South Carolinian David Ball found his musical calling in the rickety wooden dance halls of Texas.
There he discovered the pleasures of getting crowds to shuffle their cowboy boots to drawling honky-tonk tales of love gone wrong; he also learned that by cranking up the electric guitar and the snare drum, one can get the younger country dancers who hang out at converted suburban discos to shuffle to the same songs.
Ball and frequent cowriter Tommy Polk collaborate on nearly half the songs here, displaying their knack for bemoaning a dim romantic situation in a lyric and contradicting it in a melody's resilient, upbeat attitude.

Rather than follow up his hit with another track just like it and an album full of them, which is what the majors and country programming geeks want, Ball stayed true to his muse and his own idea of what country music was supposed to be.
This is real country music, full of honky tonk memories, easy Western swing blues, and tough, lean-hearted stories peopled with broken heroes, shattered love affairs, and the determination to never give up in the face of defeat.
And as far as badass old Texas tunes, there's "New Shiner Polka," with the accordion blaring and the pedal steel whipping up a storm of atmosphere on an instrumental break in the midst of the carousing, heartbreak, and regret that is Amigo.
