> Why have i > never heard of him? Dunno. Not paying attention? ;~)
>And just what am i missing out on?? The record of the year. :~) David Baerwald was 1/2 of the one-off 80's group David + David, who released a critically rec'd record called "Welcome to the Boomtown". Then he went on to solo work, 3 records thus far & Joni does backup vocals on his song "Liberty Lies". David appears in the video and sings backup on "Nothing Can Be Done". He also was part of the 'Tuesday Night Music CLub' that spawned Sheryl Crow's first record. It's been awhile since his last release, Triage, which is so good it makes even Les Irvin post! ;~) Now he's on Lost Highway, which is a great fit for him as it is for Ryan Adams, Lucinda, etc. Anyway, like all of my favorites, his genre is hard to define. There are elements of rock/Nilsson-esque pop/Blue-eyed soul, you name it. When it ends I IMMEDIATELY want to play it again. Bob NP: Whiskeytown, "Dancing With The Women At The Bar"
