David’s sixth album, Shorty's Ghost, was released in 1997, under his own label, Gistu Recording. Co-produced with Michael Knapp, the CD is a journey through wide-ranging musical territory. Shorty was recorded live, in two sessions, in Placerville, California. The album features new original material as well as some of David's arrangements of favorites by Robert Johnson, Blind Blake, Merle Travis, John Hurt and Turloch O'Caralon. "Recommended to lovers of good songwriting and acoustic blues played by a real artist. "
