Danny Michel

The Danny Michel songwriting juggernaut rolls ever onward. Prolific without spreading himself too thin, we can count on Michel to release an eclectic collection of well-crafted songs every couple of years. Valhalla is slightly different from recent efforts in that it's more stripped down. However, like most of Michel's previous albums, it defies...

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...

Danny Michel — Tales From The Invisible Man

The long-awaited follow-up to Michel’s 2001 album In The Belly Of The Whale is an experiment in eclecticism. The album’s opening track and first single is "Perfect." Literally. It is the ultimately catchy, well-crafted and perfect pop song. However, the album travels all over the map, from the Hawksley Workman-esque bounce-and-snap of...

Danny Michel Prepares His Version Of The Last Waltz

Danny Michel is decidedly flustered on the telephone. He's just returned from the dentist, he's leaving on a Canadian east coast tour the next morning and he hasn't finished packing — and now he has to talk to ChartAttack with a frozen mouth full of Novocain.
