David Ball begins 2010 with the release Sparkle City, his first new album in three years. The album is scheduled for release on E1 Entertainment s Red Dirt E1 Records. David s three year break from recording was spent writing songs and putting together the backing band he always envisioned for his music. David s band, The Pioneer Playboys, features Troy Cook Jr. on guitar, Billy Pierce on bass, and Scott Metko on drums. The Playboys played on all Sparkle City tracks. The band toured throughout 2009 playing night clubs, theaters, and festivals, refining the songs which have been included on the new album. David and the Playboys will be touring throughout 2010 in support of Sparkle City.
