Dave Schramm - Dave Schramm

Review by Ddungu James

Dave Schramm's eponymous album is a masterclass in Americana and alt-country music. The album is a perfect blend of Schramm's smooth vocals, his guitar playing, and the tight musicianship of his band. Schramm's songwriting is both personal and universal, with lyrics that touch on themes of love, loss, and redemption.

The album opens with the upbeat and catchy "Highway 61," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The driving rhythm and Schramm's twangy guitar work make it impossible not to tap your foot along with the beat. The album then takes a more introspective turn with the haunting ballad "Blue Skies," which showcases Schramm's ability to write poignant lyrics that hit you right in the heart.

Throughout the album, Schramm's guitar playing is a standout feature. From the jangling chords of "All the Time" to the smoldering solo on "Wishing Well," Schramm's guitar work is both tasteful and impressive. The album's production is also top-notch, with each instrument and vocal part perfectly balanced in the mix.

About Dave Schramm

Musician, born and raised on Long Island, New York, USA, best known for his stint as the lead guitarist for during the band's early years. After learning to play several instruments from the age of eight, Schramm picked up the guitar in his teenage years. He began his music career with a late incarnation of Human Switchboard, a short-lived group heavily influenced by The Velvet Underground and Joy Division. Although Schramm was not around early enough to be involved in the band's only LP, he did contribute to the album After Words, a solo album by Switchboard lead singer Bob Pfeifer released in 1987, five years after the band's breakup. Following Human Switchboard's breakup, Schramm played briefly with Jon Klages, formerly of The Individuals. Soon after that, Schramm joined fledgling band Yo La Tengo, serving as the band's lead guitarist for a period of approximately two years. During this span, he contributed to their debut recording "The River of Water" and the band's highly acclaimed first LP, Ride the Tiger. Following Ride the Tiger, Schramm amicably left Yo La Tengo to form the Schramms with a number of musicians he had previously been connected to - Ron Metz, who had played drums in Human Switchboard, and former Yo La Tengo members Mike Lewis (bass) and Terry Karydes, who initially played bass until her bass guitar was stolen, after which she moved to keyboards. The band also had guitarist Todd Novak and saxophonist Pete Linzell. The Schramms released their debut album Walk to Delphi in 1989, and gained a following in Germany.
