“Wish Willy / I wish I was Willy / Make sure you say HI to Willy for me”.
Well, Danny Michel has done it again. The 9th album from the Waterloo, Ontario native – Sunset Sea - is perfect. Released this past Canada Day, this is the perfect summer album with its mix of daydreams, vacations and life lessons.
This DIY artist crosses many genres with his folk/pop/rock sound. Listening to the strumming guitars, banjos and claps and stomps that accompany many of his songs makes you feel like you’re sitting around a campfire with your best friends.
It’s his lyrics, however, that will make you fall in love with Danny. I had always pegged Danny as a kind of social and environmental activist (especially after listening to Feather, Fur and Fin). This concern for people and places continues on Sunset Sea in cuts like Maybe You Can Find It In your Heart, Who’s Gonna Miss You? and When I’m You. At the same time, Danny’s sense of humour cannot help but shine through on these tracks. You will hear an even more optimistic and playful Danny in more lighthearted tracks like Wish Willy. Overall, his songs are as personable as his performances.
Listen for Canadian musician Sarah Harmer on Binary Star.
