My GrandDad is smiling from a bar in Heaven!”

A Billboard “Bubbling Under” artist, Fanning has been lauded for his tripartite musical prowess as an artist, songwriter and country music producer with three #1 hits already under his belt.

“David Fanning truly is the ‘poster boy’ for the term ‘triple threat.’ He can sing, play, produce–he does it all, and he does it all well. If his incredible resume of writing and producing hits for some of our genre’s biggest artists doesn’t blow you away, his countrified, laid back re-imagining of Justin Timberlake’s ‘Drink You Away’ most definitely will. Heck, on that note, somebody pass that Jack…or the ‘Jim and all of his friends!'” ~Samantha Stephens, CMT.com

“For his debut single. David Fanning has released a track that is at both times modern yet has a very traditional side that should play well to fans on both sides of the street in his hometown of Ardmore. (Seriously, one side of downtown is Alabama, and the other is Tennessee!) Watch out, Nashville, David’s time is now!” ~Chuck Dauphin, Billboard 615

“With Fanning’s latest single, he takes Timberlake’s ‘Drink You Away’ and gives it a decidedly more southern rock spin. He is so convincing that the song sounds like it was especially written for him.” ~Jason Scott,P opdust.com
