Get EFFRON-ized! Watch Effron White, live.
Award-winning Americana singer/songwriter, Effron White, is working on a brand new album in Nashville, TN, recording at the legendary Cowboy Jack's "Cowboy Arms Hotel And Recording Spa", where many of Nashville's well loved artists have recorded. Artists such as Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, Waylon Jennings, Chet Atkins, Billy Burnette, Chris Gantry, Shawn Camp, and many others.
It was Camp who introduced White to the Cowboy Arms when recording first started in 2020. Like many things, the pandemic changed up original plans and put the recording on hold until 2021.
White is taking a different approach to recording and co-producing this album with his manager and fellow musician, Lauren Blaine. "I'm a big fan of Bob Dylan" White says. "In studying the way he approaches recording, I like the live and natural way he records. I've made 4 other albums, with great producers, and each recording has it's own, unique flavor. I'm working on this one in the hopes of representing the songs in the most alive and spontaneous way we can."
Most of the new songs have been written as recently as 2021, but a few are treasures he's been performing for years..
Long time "EFFRON-ites" will be pleasantly surprised with the newer tunes, some of which are titled, "A Sailor's Song", "High Waylon Highway", "In Tennessee", "Borderline", "Living to Learn", "Jenni's Flying", "Big L Love" and "Have You Seen Me Lately?". Effron has played some of these for his fans at his live shows to enthusiastic responses.
The question of this new album IS, "Have You Seen Me Lately?", hence the title. We believe you're going to like what you see...and hear.

REVIEWS:
CD Baby
"Effron White is a folk singer-songwriter from Fayetteville, Arkansas. The release of his second cd, "Yankee Dime", in 2004, coincides with his selection as a WINNER IN THE KERRVILLE FOLK FESTIVAL'S "NEW FOLK" COMPETITION FOR EMERGING SONGWRITERS. The well-crafted tunes and performances on this cd attest to his ability to entertain and move audiences in a great variety of ways, through songs that range from traditional folk to rock to country. With a voice that explores emotions through gritty earthiness ala Tom Waits, Guy Clark, or Bob Dylan, Effron will speak to your heart and show you new ways to look at love and life."

"We heard Effron play in Fort Worth and thought the songs "Yankee Dime" and "Cattitude" were fabulous. We bought a CD at the event but enjoyed it so much we bought another for a friend.
Another great CD!"
author: Russ Lyons
"Yankee Dime is another great CD from Effron White. His songs, along with his great voice, make this a CD that is easy to listen to over and over. It is easy to see how Effron won the 2004 Kerrville Folk Festival Competition for Emerging Songwriters."
