Genre
Singer/Songwriter
David Mallett was working on the garden on his family's farm in rural Maine when he was inspired to run into the house, take pencil to pad, and write a new song. In the decades since 1975, "The Garden Song" has been covered by artists ranging from Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie to John Denver and the Muppets. Besides being translated and recorded in a lengthy list of languages, the song inspired a book, Inch by Inch, published by Harper Collins. Mallett, however, was not limited to just one song. A highly skilled songsmith, he consistently captured the cold winds and warm hearts of northern New England and the simple life of rural America through his songs. In addition to appearing on Mallett's many albums over his 40-year career, his tunes have been covered by musicians including Emmylou Harris ( "Red Red Rose") and Kathy Mattea ("Summer of My Dreams").
