Spencer's second solo CD "Much More Than Words" was released in 2007 and is currently seeing radio airplay around the world on College, AAA, and internet radio. 

          


See below for some of the great press reviews Spencer has received on this CD: 

The Spencer Durham Group is proud to have been a part of the first Echo Project Festival outside of Atlanta on October 14th attended by over 15,000 music lovers.  

Here is what Shane Harrison of The Atlanta Journal Constitution had to say about the band's performance in his article dated 10/15/07:

"The final day of the first Echo-Project begain at the 99X Pontiac Green Garage tucked away in the corner of the grounds in south Fulton County. This is where The Spencer Durham Group set Sunday's festivities in motion.

Durham has a lot of classic rock in his soul. The 19-year-old has gathered a talented young band, including two musicians still in their teens, and a hotshot guitarist Joel Williams, 24. Playing the first set of the day, Durham and his bandmates didn't necessarily modernize their Grateful Dead/Allman Brothers moves, they just gave them a youthful jolt of energy. Durham's forceful voice is even more impressive when you consider his small frame. Close your eyes and you'd expect a mountain of a man to be making that sound.

Though it had been tough to draw crowds to this locals stage, Durham proved a strong draw."

“Soulful young Durham's Much More Than Words is full of Chris Robinson vocal influence, Allman guitar tones and Georgia funk. Durham also writes his own material, and some songs, such as "Super Like a Nova," are out there in magic territory… material such as "Without a Doubt" and "She Doesn't Know" is immense and, coupled with Durham's admitted advanced accomplishment for his age, should have major labels circling like vultures… there is every reason to think we'll be hearing from Spencer Durham for a long time.” – Houston Press

“18 year-old Spencer Durham’s songs are wise beyond his years. This musical maturity stems in equal parts from his superior songwriting, competent vocal skills, and tight musical arrangements. Durham’s original compositions combine rootsy old-timey textures with contemporary wit… Much More Than Words delivers music guaranteed to appeal to anyone between the age of 15 and 75 who appreciates a well-crafted song.” – Vintage Guitar 

“… 18-year-old Spencer Durham has quickly placed himself among some tall, seasoned cotton. Hailing from the Atlanta area, Durham is near the epicenter of Southern Rock and the collection of songs - all but one penned by Durham - latches on to that gritty spirit while adding a slightly contemporary Shawn Mullins'-styled edge. Certainly much of the credit goes to vet Randall Bramblett and his band who were enlisted for the project. But in the end, it's the songs - and Durham's surprisingly mature voice - that make it all work … he's clearly headed in the right direction and appears positioned for a long career.” - Charleston (WV) Daily Mail 

“Soulful, rocking Georgia boy draws national attention with his multi-instrumental capabilities and shows the rest of the world that he has a bright future ahead of him with his second release… Durham delivers a wise performance that you would expect from an older player with more flying time. Don't stick a fork in rock yet when there's up and comers like this coming from places you don't expect.” – Midwest Record Recap

"This kid......this high school kid.....just made a CD with singers who have been in music since he was a gleam in his father's eye.  And he measures up.

Randall Bramblett's band, including guitarist Davis Causey, bassist Mike Steele, Bramblett in keyboards, and Mike Hines on guitar, make this CD a shoo-in for at least one category at this year's Grammy Awards.  Its early in the season to be going this far on a limb, but I'm willing to bet.

Durham's delivery is accomplished and sincere, with arrangement to match.   Bramblett's band bumps it up a notch or three.  This CD of 12 originals will certainly push him into the publics attention.  As a club owner said recently, "No matter how much money he makes for us now, we will probably not be able to afford his talent for long."    Lou Novacheck, Elmore Magazine
