The Twilight Examiner, Amanda Bell, had the great honor of interviewing singer/songwriter, Bobby Long. Bobby has such an incredible talent that can be heard in his soulful songs on his MySpace page. The Twilight Soundtrack available on iTunes also features Robert Pattinson singing 'Let Me Sign' which Bobby co-wrote with Marcus Foster.
When Amanda asked who his biggest influences are, he said that he "has a lot." "Brought up with all the old blues guys like Mississippi John Hurt and Robert Johnson and a lot of Jazz like Jack Teagarden and Louis Armstrong," Bobby loves "the Beatles, Bob Dylan," and other greats from the 1960's. Of all his favorites, though, when asked if he could play with anyone, dead or alive, whom he would choose, he said, "today, Gram Parsons."
You can learn more about him, his interests and his desires for the future here.
Here's a special treat for ya, Bobby performing Sad Woman Blues. Absolutely Amazing!
