FROM INDUSTRY:

"Danny Schmidt reminds me of why I gravitate towards the singer-songwriter art form. With the gravitational pull of the sun, he is, perhaps the best new songwriter I’ve heard in the last 15 years."
~ Rich Warren, Sing Out! magazine

"I've not felt a performance with this much intensity since I saw Neil Young solo years ago, nor have I heard songwriting with this much subtlety of craftsmanship since Leonard Cohen. I was completely floored."
~ Henri Simmons, from the Filter

"[Danny Schmidt] is a young man with blazing lyrical skills and a deserved cult following."
~ Andrew Hawkey, Cambria Arts in Wales

"Perhaps the most poetic and powerful singer-songwriter of the past 20 years. His ability with words and melodies continues to amaze me."
~ Midnight Special Radio's Best Albums of 2005

"More than a pleasant surprise, [Schmidt] was no less than a revelation to me. And that's not a word I use lightly."
~ Keith Morris, Charlottesville Daily Progress

"Danny Schmidt's done it again. One of the country's best singer-songwriters has released yet another masterpiece."
~ Les Reynolds, Indie-Music.com

"I have rarely, if ever, been so moved or impressed by an artist as I have by Danny Schmidt. Check him out, no matter what kind of music you like, check him out! I guarantee you, if you don't, you are missing one of life's treats."
~ Bill Bruedigam from Radio Sante Fe

FROM ARTISTS:

"[Danny Schmidt's] outstanding . . . one of the best songwriters I've ever heard. Every word."
~ songwriter Chuck Brodsky

"Danny is unanimously regarded as incredible, if not unbelievable, if not just plain beautiful -- an astounding guitar player, a monumental blues man, and a true poet (if the wind can be called a poet)."
~ songwriter Paul Curreri

"Everything about the man is gentle, except his capacity for insight, which is crushing."
~ songwriter Jeffrey Foucault

"I'm totally knocked out by the tunes. As bold and different and secure and sincere as anything I've heard in awhile. A long while."
~ songwriter Tom House

“One of my favorite singer-songwriters. A haunting, ageless voice; melodies that are both simple & original; wry, moving lyrics; a guitar style that's as organic as it is unpredictable. What force is he tapping into, anyway?"
~ songwriter Brady Earnhart

“Danny plays a guitar as natural as he breathes. He has some seriously tasty songs and a debut CD that mesmerizes."
~ songwriter Mary Sue Twohy

"There is a bit of Nick Drake and Woody Guthrie mixed with somebody's grandpa who lives in the mountains and sits and sings on the porch all day. Not that he seems especially old, but rather timeless.”
~ songwriter Sarah Roberts

"He is hands down one of the best living
musician/poets that I am aware of. "
~ Bob Thiele
