Richard seems to be always improving. The first time I saw him, he was opening for Gillian Welch or Bruce Cockburn ... I couldn't wait for his set to be over, as the lyrics were totally unintelligible. However, WYEP-FM in Pittsburgh (gotta be one of the best !) began playing more of his stuff, and then I bought "Somewhere Near Patterson" ! --terrific record ! Saw Richard open for Joan Baez at the Palace in Greensburg, PA. a couple of years ago. It was a great show, and they were good together, too!
Just picked up "Vuelta" last week - really a fine recording; I could easily add 7 or 8 of those songs to the 'favorites' page of my RealOne Player. Richard made a great choice of using Puente Celeste as his primary back-up band; I found them to be a more serene and complimentary ensemble - a perfect weekend afternoon CD. Good goin', RS!
I just discovered Richard Shindell. He has reignited a passion for this type of music I thought I had lost many years ago, and for that I owe him. Vuelta is magnificent.
