Description

Herb Eimerman "Just Barely Famous" Herb Eimerman creates the kind of pop music that warms the heart, soothes the soul and electrifies the environment. His latest album, "Just Barely Famous," ripples to the finish line with songs you'll never grow tired of hearing. Clinging tight to Herb's signature sound of polished arrangements, glistening melodies and fluid instrumentation, the record is intimate and direct. The title cut of the disc, along with "Our Fate Was Signed," "Where I'm At With You," "The Ocean Is Blue" and a version of George Harrison's "Stuck Inside A Cloud" are particular ringers to cherish on "Just Barely Famous." Some of the track on "Just Barely Famous" snap, crackle and pop with might, while other songs post a psychedelic fragrance as they swirl and soar with elegance. Blessed with a sensitive voice that bears a likeness to Tommy James, Herb arguably has a good thing going. (JAM Records www.jamrecordings.com)

Twist and Shake....04/2006




New 2006 release offering the kind of precision most musicans don't seem all that concerned with anymore, Herb Eimerman's new cd "Just Barely Famous" creates lush, richly textered melodies that stir up the perfect pop confection. Some of the songs on this release reflect classic and sumptuous Brit-Pop and for the first time Herb has written a handful of his new material with Stefan Johansson of Yesterday Girl Records in Stockholm, Sweden. A good example of this collaboration is the beautiful and flowing "Where I'm At With You", a duet with Herb introducing the dulcet debut of vocalist Becca and Herb's first ever recording of a copy song, the haunting George Harrison penned "Stuck Inside A Cloud". "Just Barely Famous" is Herb's 5th solo project along with a cd he did with Jeff Murphy of Shoes called Nerk Twins "Either Way", and this should be the cd that power pop fans sit up and take notice that Herb Eimerman is pure pop pleasure to behold and enjoy.


2006 release from Herb Eimerman, who continues to evolve this unique and special pop craft and gets better and better with each release. "Just Barely Famous" is his best yet. Eimerman (who was half of The Nerk Twins, his group with Shoes-man Jeff Murphy) has a unique way of recording that results in a sound that is part Dwight Twilley echo, The Everly Brothers, early Marshall Crenshaw, mid/late-70's Flamin' Groovies, Spongetones and Shoes. Like we said, 'unique'. For this record, the "X" ingredient is co-writer (on six of the 16 songs here) Swede Stefan Johansson. He tweaks and enhances Eimerman's formula bringing a new dynamic to it, that seeths and seeps even into his own songs. Just a bit more bite that, pleasureably, does not hurt, but titilates. The 12 stringed guitars ring, echo and refrain their way into your ear leaving only happy memories and smiles. It`s a power pop testimony loaded with jangly guitars, luscious layered vocal harmonies and some of Eimerman's best-ever melodies.
BlogCritics.org has this to accurately say about Eimerman's music: "Musically, pop lovers like me'll pick up traces of Zion Illinois' finest, not to mention bits of later Flamin' Groovies and squishy folk-poppers like the Association. It's the kind of thoughtful 60's-indebted pop-rock that thankfully seems to be surviving thanx to a coterie of cultish addicts, many of 'em too young to've "outgrown" this sneakily hook-filled retro sound.". If there's one Eimerman disc to pick up out of a solid handful, this *the* one, hands-down. Extremely Highly Recommended!

Herb's fifth(!) solo release offers the kind of precision most musicians don't seem all that concerned with anymore. "Here, he creates lush, richly textured melodies that stir up the perfect pop confection!" Still chock full of the elements that have defined his prior releases - lots of 6 + 12-string jangly guitars and heavenly (Jeremy-like) harmonies - some of the songs reflect his affection of classic Brit-Pop (think Searchers and you've got a real good idea) and, for the first time, Herb has co-written a handful of new songs with Stefan Johannson (he of the most excellent Yesterday Girl Records who issued the most excellent "Pop Greetings From" series a few years back - whatever happened to that series anyway?). "Where I'm At With You", his Mamas & Papas-like, 12-string-led duet with newcomer Becca is a 60's pop fan's delight! On "Our Fate Was Signed", he sounds like Reg Presley of The Troggs! Herb also delivers his first-ever recording of a cover - a haunting version of George Harrison's "Stuck Inside A Cloud"! EXCELLENT!!!
