Peter Mulvey / Darden Smith

Show Description

Peter Mulvey's ninth solo release, The Knuckleball Suite (Signature Sounds), is a collection of 13 new songs that aptly display why he has, over the length of his extensive career, been compared to such heavyweights as Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen and Randy Newman. Collaborating once again with longtime writing partner and producer David "Goody" Goodrich, The Knuckleball Suite is vibrant and surprising, a new groove for a musician with a rich and diverse history.
"Peter Mulvey is consistantly the most original and dynamic of the US singer-songwriters to tour thse shores...a phenomenal performer with huge energy, a quick fire, quirky take on life, and an extraordinary guitar style...a joy to see." - The Irish Times

During his 20-year career, Texas singer-songwriter Darden Smith has recorded in folk, country and pop settings. Having has co-written songs with a British rocker, released 10 critically acclaimed albums, created works for dance theater, done symphonic collaborations and taught music to children, one wonders what Smith could possibly do next. His latest CD "Field of Crows" demonstrates yet again his ability to shift styles while remaining true to his roots. "All of his songs are strong and the playing is dead-on." – All Music
