I was listening to KUT last Friday night while on my way to meet some friends. A little after 9pm, this song came on that caught my attention. With lyrics that thumb their nose at the rest of Texas, Adios to Tejasito by songwriter Danny Schmidt caused me to grin.
With a lyrical complexity and a style reminiscent of Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s magical-realism, Austin, TX-based singer/songwriter Danny Schmidt’s been tagged “the best new songwriter we’ve heard in 15 years” by Sing Out Magazine.
When I got home, I looked up his website and found a generous sampling of MP3s available for download from his site so check them out and, if you like what you hear, buy something.
