Danny Schmidt's Albums
Parables & Primes
Danny Schmidt Album Editorial: Danny Schmidt is a writers writer in the vein of Townes Van Zandt and Leonard Cohen. This is the kind of album you envelope yourself in at 2am half drunk; with lyrics on your lap as you follow along line by line. This is Schmidts first album since moving back home to Austin; the first to draw off the abundant wealth of Austin musicians with the likes of Lloyd Maines on lap steel Guy Forsyth on harmonica Michael Longoria (Patti Griffins band) on drums and Bruce Hughes (Bob Schneiders band) on bass. Parables Primes is lushly orchestrated yet still sparse with graceful touches of accordion violin cello organ trumpet mandolin and of course some sweet harmonies. They make for a velvety backdrop - but its the songs themselves their messages and their poetry that sit front and center on Schmidts records and this one is no exception.
