After more than a decade-long retreat from recording and performing, singer/songwriter Allen Dobb is returning with a new album on February 9th. Alone Together draws from characters, stories, and landscapes that are part of Allen’s experience working as a range management specialist in the interior of British Columbia.

The third single, “Black and White 1912,” tells the moving story of an old cowboy who travels back in time through a black and white photograph that was taken in 1912. The melodies are carried by acoustic and electric guitars, mandolin, lap steel, piano, and other instruments in tasteful arrangements that always create 

Alone Together was produced and mixed by Allen’s brother and close collaborator Cameron Dobb, resulting in warmth and authenticity that harkens back to some of the classic country sounds of the 1970s. At the same time, it has its own currency, steeped in their own rural roots growing up on a farm in northwestern Alberta near the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. In his early years, Allen left the family farm to attend college in Wyoming and Washington State, finding time to play cowboy dances and participate in collegiate rodeo along the way.
