David Oberman Debuts "Americana From Alabama" Project With The Release Of Two New Songs

By: PRLog
"Wearing Country Like a Crown" and "One Dance" explore life's shared experiences with a mix of country, rock, and island rhythms.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Sept. 2, 2025 - PRLog -- David Oberman is excited to announce the release of two new songs, "Wearing Country Like a Crown" and "One Dance", on Center Sound Records and available on all major streaming platforms. Both songs were co-written by David Oberman and Center Sound's Craig Brandwein, who also served as the producer of the tracks. These two songs also mark the launch of the Americana from Alabama project, a laid-back and danceable mix of country, rock, and island rhythms with a sound inspired by Jimmy Buffet and Toby Keith.

Both songs are garnering early airplay support from independent radio in the US and have been streamed in countries around the world. In addition, David and Craig appeared on "The Kayden Gordon Show", a 2 hour syndicated country music radio show that is heard on over 250 radio stations.

"Wearing Country Like a Crown" tells a story that is common among baby boomers. "I was motivated to write this song as I retired from a major corporation," says Oberman. "I missed the country life and came to realize that, rather than the constant travel and business meetings, I preferred a simpler, stress-free pace where I could sit and watch the sunset paint the sky."

Talking about "One Dance," Oberman says, "This song came to me as I was thinking about how I met my wife over 40 years ago. I was at a dance and noticed three girls standing nearby. As luck would have it, I managed to ask my future wife to dance with me, and the rest is history! Music makes these moments come to life, and I'm amazed at how many couples have a similar story about meeting their spouses."

"Working with David as cowriter and producer has been an outstanding experience," says Craig Brandwein. "His strong melodies, thoughtful lyrics, and unique perspective bring a fresh approach to songwriting."
