Description

[poet] writes songs thatll keep you laughing, even when the dogs of madness are nipping at your heels. He kinda reminds me of Shel Silverstein with his ability to laugh at things that arent really funny. Southern Cross is an important song, people need to hear it.

Kris Kristofferson

[poet has a] wicked sense of humour, but in the service of deep insight and honesty. He does beautiful work
- Leonard Cohen

Great inventive stuff - everything from the truly touching to the truly strange - but all of it delivered with honesty and integrity.
- Tom Rapp (Pearls Before Swine)

j. poet is one of the most original and creative musicians in the weird world of folk music. Watch him closely -- he's always about to do something wild and entertaining.
- Oscar Brand - Oscar Brands Folk Song Festival is heard on WNYC AM every Saturday evening.

On LSDOA poet lives up to his name with a collection of tunes from lifes shadowy side marked by understated melodies spiked with a remarkable lyrical sense and mordant wit, delivered in a deadpan voice somewhere between Tom Waits and Darth Vader.

- Bonnie Hayes, hit songwriter (Bonnie Raitt, Cher, Bette Midler)

j. poet rocks
- Joel Selvin, SF Chronicle

Visionary garage folk from a parallel universe where Tom Waits was bigger than the Beatles. Wielding several chords and surefire wit, j. poet delivers blistering insights with a burned-out jesters amoral authority. You could spend a fruitless lifetime in thrift stores searching for the essence and eccentricity this disk drops in your lap.

- Adam McGovern, MusicHound, Village Voice

j. poet is older than rocknroll.

For most of his life, poet has been a freelance music journalist, covering folk, blues, singer/songwriter, Americana, country, Native American and world music for Grammy.com, Pulse, the San Francisco Chronicle and many other publications.

poet has been a closet musician for almost as long as hes been a writer and now, at an age when many of his peers are considering retirement, poet has come out and embarked upon a Quixotean Quest for musical fame and fortune.

poets songwriting and singing, can be described as Leonard Cohen meets Tom Lehrer at Smokey Joes Caf to write songs for Townes Van Zandt. The tunes on LSDOA, were written at various times over the past 30 years and includes songs of love and hate, death and resurrection, sex and the opposite of sex, lullabies for grown ups and those that wish they were.

Tunes from LSDOA - in their demo versions - have been played on Car Toons, WEVL FM, Memphis TN, Jack Deamon Experience KTST FM Orange CA, Hear and Now KPFA FM Berkeley CA and Oscar Brands Folksong Festival WNYC FM NYC
