Danny Scherr - Richmond Special

Richmond Special," the debut album from Danny Scherr, radiates the spirit of AM radio hit records of the 60`s and 70`s, adding a touch of folk and country melancholy. The cd draws on influences including Paul Westerberg, Matthew Sweet, Jeff Larson, Teenage Fanclub, Poco and Elliott Smith, as well as Gram Parsons, The Eagles and Townes Van Zandt. There`s "...a great, GREAT disc! ...keeps your fingers miles from the skip button" - Gary Pig Gold, writer for InMusicWeTrust.com and Fufkin.com. "...a beautiful collection of soft ballads and uplifting melodic rockers" - David Bash, writer for Amplifier and founder of International Pop Overthrow Festival. The acoustic grounding yields sounds which bite into a smart, sweet collection of sunny, West Coast early/mid 70`s feel. Singer/songwriter material like this can really veer into two different directions, one being a big bore and the other a magnified artistry that promises enjoyment. Thankfully, Danny Scherr`s "Richmond Special" accomplishes the later with skill, aplomb and makes a lasting impression as a songwriter of note for many Not Lamers.
