Danny Michel — Loving The Alien: Danny Michel Sings The Songs Of David Bowie

Critical darling and Bowie acolyte Danny Michel gets his rocks off big-time on this lovingly rendered covers disc. The Kitchener native wisely sticks to lesser-known tracks — "Young Americans" is the only major hit — leaving him free to give his own spirited readings. Michel allows his virtuoso musicianship and gritty rasp to propel the songs, as on the outstanding "D.J." That Michel loves the alien is plainly obvious; that his enjoyment is so infectious throughout the record makes it a first-rate listen for fans of both artists.
