Real Love is the seventh studio album (eighth if you count a holiday album he released in 2014) by Nova Scotia crooner David Myles, who is known for his light Americana vibe and sometimes blending tints of Jazz and easy listening pop in his older recordings. Real Love takes a departure and goes for a more rockabilly sound that reminds me of an early 1960s mellower Roy Orbison.

RIYL: Chris Isaak, Glen Campbell, Roy Orbison, Mo Kenney, and Pokey LaFarge.
