Though he's never become a star, Richard Shindell has quietly made a name for himself over the years in the folk/singer-songwriter world. Coming out of the New York City songwriting school of hard knocks, Shindell crafted a sound that owes to Stan Rogers, John Gorka, and Leonard Cohen, without ever becoming imitative. On his first live album, backed by a small-but-powerful band, Shindell's songs come alive even more than on the studio albums from which they originated.
The title tune, inspired by Wilfrid Owen's WWI poetry, tells a grim tale of wartime tribulations with elegance and power. "The Kenworth of my Dreams" takes the country convention of a trucking song and twists it smartly by the ear. "Fishing" is one side of a conversation between an INS agent and an immigrant; there's no other song like it and it's uniqueness is only equalled by it's resonance. Besides Shindell's simple, effective melodies and poetic lyrics, the thread through THE COURIER is his sonorous baritone, which also enlivens covers of Bruce Springsteen's "Fourth of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)" and Little Feat's classic "Willin'."
Courier is Richard Shindell's first live album. It draws from all four of his previous albums and includes one new tune and one cover--Bruce Springsteen's Fourth of July, Asbury Park.A master songwriter, guitar player, and performer, Richard Shindell is at the long-lasting apex of his career. With musical support from Lincoln Schliefer (bass), Denny McDermott (drums), John Putnam (electric guitar) and Lucy Kaplansky (vocals), Courier is both the ultimate introduction to Shindel's music and a must-have for the die-hard fan.
Principally recorded live at The Emelin Theatre, Mamaroneck, New York on March 16 & 17, 2001.

After years of relative dormancy on the rock scene (at least if you ask people on the outside), the world is again looking to New York City for the "rock". The techno drenched club fandango of the past half decade has deflated and when the post millennium ecstasy hangover became a mass plague, there was a need for real instruments played by real musicians... what a concept. Corporate-spawned acts have dominated your eyes and ears, dancing on every magazine edifice and every radio station on the dial, appealing to the lowest common denominator. Mantra, Hypnosis? Perhaps! Although rock is again being heard, the sounds are hackneyed rip offs of your uncle's record collection! Echoing well worn out tunes of the 60's and 70's repackaged with prettier faces and less imaginative names.Since their inception, frank has tirelessly focused on writing and performing songs that are diverse in texture, but share passion, intensity and intelligence and frank likes to rock.Scott Porter has been playing in bands in NYC since the 7th grade. Starting in New York's famed music buildings in the west 30's and at open mic nights in New York's East Village, he hasn't stopped since. In past bands he's shared the stage with the Goo Goo Dolls, Live, and God Street Wine, although he likes to think they shared the stage with him.In January 2001, the determined Porter got the tingle to turn over a new musical leaf - all new stuff - nothing old allowed. Teaming up with longtime friend and drummer Ray Crespo, himself a veteran NYC musician, the moniker-less band began rehearsing "Life By the Hour", Scott's first frank song, which was the first of many to feature Scott and Ray's ever-present, oft haunting, and always powerful harmonizing.Enter Billy Ziff, fresh from playing in the jam band scene, who added a fresh progressive ...
