Background notes
Archive material and source history
David Ball grew up in Rock Hill, South Carolina, where his father was a Baptist minister. He started playing guitar early and performed at local churches. In 1994, his debut album 'Thinkin' Problem' came out, and the single 'I've Got My Baby On My Mind' became a hit.
He put out more albums like 'Starlite Diner' and 'Supernatural' in the late 1990s. In 1999, his label Lyric Street Records dropped him after a creative disagreement, so he began releasing music independently. His 2001 album 'Friend of Mine' included the song 'Riding with Private Malone,' which drew some criticism for its Vietnam War themes but also connected with veterans.
Ball's catalog includes songs like 'Thinking Problem,' '12-12-84,' and 'Amigo.' He has worked with musicians such as Billy Thomas on drums and Mike Chapman on bass.
