Earnest, striking acoustic-rock on this early cassette from Daniel Cartier, whose quavering tenor recalls Bryan Ferry, Tim Buckley, and Cat Stevens. The tattooed troubadour took a wild ride on the music-biz roller coaster and nearly lost himself, but ended up a survivor. Now based in Nashville, his newest album is Exeter and you can buy it here.

Bruce Berman, who produced this tape, was a successful touring guitarist (Jaco Pastorious) and session player (Mark Mothersbaugh) for many years, then got into the jingle business, and most recently co-founded the audio tech company Heavy Digital Audio. LA-based Johnny Indovina has led the band Human Drama since 1985; the group recently released its first album in 15 years. Sean Grissom has made his name busking in the NYC subways as The Cajun Cellist. Joe McGinty joined The Psychedelic Furs and founded The Loser’s Lounge. Derek Murphy is a session drummer who tours and records in Europe with two-time Danish Music Award winner, Teitur. Patrick Cerria was drummer for the Hilly Kristal-managed Fossil, and is now a music teacher.
