Danny Schmidt is as good songwriter as you can get. Just check out these quotes:
“In his use of parable and allegory, there are inevitable comparisons with Cohen and Dylan, but these are songs of such quality and beauty that they more than hold their own in this exalted company.” – 5 stars out of 5, Maverick Magazine UK
“In today’s underground folk world, Danny Schmidt is spoken of in reverent tones, drawing comparisons to Leonard Cohen, with a poetry that breathes naturally and without pretension, with results that are both attractive and intense.” - Jim Caligiuri, Austin Chronicle
“The songs are fascinating and intriguing, even mysterious. The singing is warm and unassuming, letting the stories lead him. The melodies are captivating. And the writer is gifted. Go find Danny Schmidt and listen.” – Marilyn Rea Beyer, WUMB Radio in Boston
