: I don't know how many of you out there are familiar with DB's contemporaries. If you're interested in anyone else from The Tuesday Night Music Club, then you must check out "Thud" by Kevin Gilbert. We lost Kevin in 1996, I believe. Even so, another reportedly fantastic album: "The Shaming of the True" has come out posthumously.
: Personally, I found myself just as compelled by Kevin's work on Thud as I have by David's work, and that's saying something. He has a political and humourous bite to his lyrics too. And "Song for a Dead Friend" is one of the most moving songs I've ever heard.
: I know that Kevin is also credited on DB's "Triage". I don't know how David feels about Kevin or his work. Maybe he'd like to comment...?
: So there it is if you didn't already know--check out THUD.

Speaking of Mr. Baerwald's comtemporaries, particularly the ones he's worked with- Susanna Hoffs' self-titled second(?) album is deliriously wonderful.
David has writing, production and/or performance credits on nearly every song. In addition, Kevin Gilbert plays on nearly every track, along with a host of other who's who's.
As with "Song For A Dear Freind", I defy anyone to listen to the last track listed on Susannah's album- "Weak With Love" and not feel absolute beaten-down sadness. Chokes me up every time I listen to it...
Do yourselves a favor and get Susanah's album when you go out to pick up "Thud". You won't be sorry you did.
