Добавлен 6 фев 2013
R.D. Allen is a singer/songwriter and musician known for a heartfelt and “no bull” style of writing. With a musical style rooted in country and influenced by the likes of Guy Clark, The Eagles, George Strait, James Taylor, and Steve Earle, R.D. Allen has developed a unique sound that resonates with audiences from all walks of life. Born and raised in a small southwestern Ohio town, R.D. Allen's passion for music began at a young age. He quickly discovered his innate ability to connect with others through his heartfelt lyrics and emotive voice. In a world filled with cookie-cutter acts & “Next Big Trend” followers, he stands out as an artist who is unafraid to be true to himself & his faith, connecting with listeners through his music. R.D. Allen is undoubtedly an artist to watch as he continues to make his mark on the country music scene.
“Two Coats” - Ralph Stanley & The Clinch Mountain Boys (1971)
One of my favorite bluegrass gospel tunes I heard often growing up, just one of the perks of coming from a family of bluegrass & gospel pickers & singers.
I hope y'all enjoy my version of "Two Coats" by Ralph Stanley & The Clinch Mountain Boys (circa 1971)

No big Songstory, just a simple love song. "God's Still Blessing" -R.D. Allen
"I Don't Know You" - R.D. Allen
Просмотров 203 месяца назад
It's been a minute since I uploaded any originals so here you go. SongStory: I wrote this based around Matthew 7:21-23 in the Bible where Jesus tells us that there will be some who are surprised to find that they are outside of the Kingdom of God. So I went about it sort of in a different perspective, I wrote this as if it's the end of a relationship, a breakup conversation if you will between ...

Happy Heavenly Birthday Momma, This day & October 22nd never gets any easier. I do so miss your voice, your laughter, & your hugs. Just like each year since you left us I've had the steady playlist of 60's & 70's soft rock & singer/songwriter tunes playing in the truck & in the office today. You loved all kinds of music but those 2 types in particular are what I remember you playing the most ei...
"When I Get Where I'm Going" - Brad Paisley

I'm taking a break from posting any originals this week as my family lost my beautiful Aunt Pat Monday evening. I sang this song at my papaw's funeral in 2006 & said I wouldn't sing it again & never have since but I know how much Aunt Patty loved it & wanted me to record a version of it for her when her daughter/my cousin Heather passed away in 2011 & I didn't get a chance to do it. So Aunt Pat...
What If I Stumble - DC Talk
Просмотров 1645 месяцев назад
This song grabbed ahold of me the first time I heard it in 1995 but has resonated with me as I've become older & realized how close it hits to home working in ministry & as a christian in general talking about the possibilities that personal weaknesses could bring shame to Christ in our everyday walk. I hope y'all enjoy, here's my rendition. "What If I Stumble" -DC Talk
"The Door"
Просмотров 1606 месяцев назад
SongStory: I wrote this one in 2022 when my pastor was preparing his message for the week & it was based around the passage in Revelation 3:20 where Jesus is saying “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” At this time I never had really heard any specific songs on this so I decided to give a w...
"Confession"
Просмотров 2446 месяцев назад
SongStory: A little transparency here, I have battled with severe depression since 2013 & honestly there are days where giving up & hiding feels like the best option. As dark as that sounds I take refuge in knowing that God is still with me & that experiencing this darkness isn't only a part of life in general but a part of my walk with Christ. Psalm 88 played a huge role in this writing as wel...
"Where You Stand"
Просмотров 1436 месяцев назад
Backstory: I always am amazed by how God has used me and where He has brought me to in the life when I am nobody special or anyone worth mentioning for that matter. I got inspired to write this one about how no matter who you are, what your background is, or what you think of yourself Jesus wants you right where you’re at. He doesn’t need you to be perfect and polished up to know Him, He finds ...
"One More Reason"

Another original upload for y'all Backstory: I originally wrote this a 2 years ago when I was asked by my cousin to write a song for her wedding that was for her uncle who had passed away who was supposed to walk her down the aisle. Little did I know 2 years later I would be singing it about my mom who passed in 2021. If you’re reading this, this is for anyone you’ve lost who just gave you one ...
"Valleys"
Просмотров 1826 месяцев назад
Backstory: I was inspired by the valleys of life & how when we’re there we only look to be on top of the mountain again & often we don’t appreciate that God is shaping & molding us during our trials. If you look at the Psalms of David, they weren’t all pretty & nice. He still at times questioned God but he never stopped believing, because you usually don’t continue to cry out to someone you don...
"Southern Sounds"
Просмотров 776 месяцев назад
Backstory: I wrote this in 2013 after I had an “interesting” conversation with the head of an entertainment agency (that will remain unnamed for decency’s sake) out of Nashville. Long story short, I was in the middle of a 16 hr double-shift out at the mill & I couldn’t just up and leave right then and there (trust me, I wish I could have) which led the gentlemen in question to tear me up one si...
"Roughcreek Rd"

Keeping up with that making my music more visible stuff. Here's another original. Backstory: My mamaw and papaw Tuttle lived in London, Kentucky after my papaw retired from Armco (AK Steel/Cliffs) in Ohio so we would go down there a lot when I was a kid & I hold dear the memories I have from then, so I decided to write about the road they lived on. For me it's Roughcreek Rd, but for you it coul...
"Celebrity Jesus"
Просмотров 256 месяцев назад
Part of my goal for this year is to be more visible in multiple ways with the music I write & sing. Backstory: This is one I wrote last year that is inspired by the big evangelical media market turning a profit by selling you a watered down & bedazzled Jesus described by buzzwords instead of talking about who He truly is. "Celebrity Jesus" -R.D. Allen

@@RDAmusic1 So this is what I'm thinking. Your song 'Confession' is one of the best songs I've ever heard. I think you should put it out professionally. I don't need any money, I would just like to see it out there. What ever you decide; 'Do not let your spirit wane'
'Promo SM'

R. D. - I can't say how rare it is for someone who listened and acted on one of my comments. The Martin sounds great and the strings sound great too. Your voice is also chanting, believe in me but also in him. Cheers!

Absolutely perfect! Maybe not one of Toby's most popular songs but one of my favorites. If the RUclips algorithm had any kind of musical appreciation this tribute would be viral.
Thank you so much! yeah this song has always been one of my favorites of his. Definitely doesn’t get enough attention compared to the rest of his catalog
@@RDAmusic1 You do a damn good job. If you ever want to play live and need a drummer just say the word and I will make the trip from Montana.
@@strangerdanger1271 Man, wow! I am so honored by that offer, I almost didn’t know how to reply!
@@RDAmusic1 I am just a hi-line Montana drummer, the son of a country, blues, rock-n-roller from the 79-90's. Dad owned a music store from 78-92 where I learned to drum at 6 years old. I have seen plenty of musicians over the years and not only appreciate your vocals but recognize how well you strummed that song.
@@strangerdanger1271 thanks man, I really appreciate your words. It’s much needed
