David Shultz

"Shultz approaches pop perfection in almost every one of his songs, delivering one so-easy-I-shoulda-thought-of-that melody after another over humble acoustic guitar, but he uses his music's simple elegance to explore some serious hurt. His warm-as-an-old-LP voice cracks and shakes when he probes deep, chipping away at his music's rounded pop surface and pushing on in search of intimacy and revelation." - Splendid ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- "Similar to Jonathan Richmond, Gordon Gano, Bob Dylan, Paul Westerberg and a few other hot shot songwriter types, David Shultz had given us a record warm and deep with unexpectedly haunting melodies (How It Was), flecks of humor (Gray Away) and a little bit of ironic jingle-jangle business (Tones). With a diverse body of influences behind him and a masterful command of the English language and the language of pop music, David Shultz gives us plenty of reason to be excited about the future of the singer-songwriter. And this, of course, is just the first step." - Copper Press
