David Baerwald

After The Quick Dissolution Of David & David In The Mid-'80s David Baerwald Began A Solo Career Releasing His Solo Debut Bedtime Stories In 1990. As With David & David's Sole Album It Was An Album Of Deceptively Laid-Back Pop The Calm Production And Subtle Memorable Melodies Hid The Fact That Baerwald's Characters Were Either Inflicting Or Suffering From Emotional Pain. It Was A Triumph Winning Raves From Critics But It Sold Very Few Copies. With His Second Album 1993's Triage Baerwald Decided To Have The Music Match The Message Creating Soundscapes That Recalled A Subdued More Pop-Friendly Tom Waits. Again The Critical Praise Was Substantial But The Record Sold Even Fewer Copies Than The First. A Follow-Up Wouldn't Be Seen For Nearly A Decade However Baerwald Took Time Out To Work With Other Musicians And Tweak His Playing Skills. He Joined Sheryl Crow For Her Monumental Tuesday Night Music Club Debut And Was Later Nominated For A Golden Globe For Moulin Rouge's Swan Song "Come What May." Finally Baerwald Bounced Back With Here Comes The Folk Underground In 2002. read less
