Peter Himmelman Describes a Big Muse That Can't Lose

Some artists excel at multi-tasking. Some simply strive to broaden their artistic horizons. Others do both. Consider Peter Himmelman among the latter. A critically acclaimed singer and songwriter whose fan following includes listeners drawn to his uniquely literate blend of rock and pop, as well as the ever-burgeoning children’s market, his work has gained national notice courtesy of kudos from USA Today (“One of Rock’s most wildly imaginative performers”) and Time magazine (“songs written with…See More

"Lots of listening there, thanks Lee! Great to see Way to Blue on CD, although I'm nonplussed by the exclusion of Lisa Hannigan's "Chime of a City Clock" - the standout of the concert for me. (Robert Kirby actually passed away in…"

"I'm normally against the tribute thing and I'm thinking Nick Drake may be above a tribute but you have peaked my interest. Will check it out."

Lee's Listening Stack -- Excellent Offerings for the End of April

Various Artists Way to Blue: The Songs of Nick Drake (Story Sound Records)Nick Drake’s influence on an entire generation of lowered-gaze singer/songwriters is undeniable, but the fact that his influence persists nearly 40 years after his passing makes him something of a cultural phenomenon. There have been tribute albums prior to this, but rarely to the extent of gathering such an exceptional cast, both in the concert which inspired this collection and on the album that evolved from it. While…See More

Lee's Listening Stack -- Slightly More Than A Baker's Dozen For Early April

Various Artists The Music Is You: A Tribute to John Denver (ATO)Always popular among the masses, John Denver was sometimes scorned as unhip, uncool and just a little bit of a geek. Firmly established in the show biz firmament (he was a designated guest host on the Tonight Show during Johnny Carson’s reign), his music expressed his unabashed love for Colorado and the spectacular environs of the Rockies and the American West. So while a tribute to the bespeckled singer/songwriter from such…See More

Lee's Listening Stack -- Fab Picks for February, Part Two

Matt Costa self-titled (Brushfire Records)Matt Costa’s been kicking around for a few years now and he keeps getting better and better. It’s almost ironic that his new album is self-titled, because it will hopefully mark a new beginning in terms of awareness and acceptance. Costa has one of those burnished vocals that makes him sound like he’s singing for the ages -- a hint of Nick Drake on songs like “Eyes For You” and “Golden Cathedrals,” some Lennon-like ferocity on the “Instant Karma”-…See More

      As a featured contributor to No Depression, I’m particularly keen on getting your feedback for the following – Please forgive the intrusion if you don’t have the time or inclination to reply.

      I’ve posted the following to the No Depression discussion board – you can either respond there or alternatively drop me a line at shatchsurvey1@yahoo.co.uk

Thanks very much for your time

Kind regards,

Steve

My name is Steve Hatch and I’m currently conducting research for my Master’s in Songwriting at Bath Spa University in Bath, England (though I happen to be an ex-pat Georgia boy). I would be extremely grateful if you could find the time to listen to the track (link below) and answer the 2 accompanying questions. The more detail, the better of course (more to say in my final analysis) – but all feedback will be useful and very much appreciated.

Sadly, as this is an academic pursuit, there is a deadline. Please reply by May 20^th if at all possible so that I can have time to chew over your response and include it in my final write-up.

            The track: http://soundcloud.com/stevehatch

1)     Which artist/band(s) would you say the track is most similar to and why?

2)     Which genre(s) would you say the track belongs to and why?
