Danny Michel - Valhalla
Canada’s Michel is a critic’s darling, a fragile-voiced writer of literate, genre-crossing pop songs. In other words, he’s a starving artist living on the margins of society. Which is a shame, because Michel’s unique talent deserves to be rewarded. His fifth album (not counting his fine collection of David Bowie covers, Loving the Alien) may finally provide him with a breakthrough, featuring such memorable songs as the funky “Midnight Train,” the wacky “Into the Flame” and the gently optimistic “It’s Not the End of the World.”
