About Me


SOME REVIEWS of LOWLIGHTS LPs (order it @ DARLA.COM or amazon.com)
LOWLIGHTS PICKED AS WEEKLY ALIBI'S BEST ALBUM OF 2003!!!!

" 4 out 5 stars**** Lee's voice has an autumn leaf warmth, carried on swirls of organ noise and understated pedal-steel he sounds rather like young Leonard Cohen stumbling into some roach-bitten outpost in a Sergio Leone flick." --UNCUT
" A languid drift through the solar system topped by pining steel and lush, homespun folk harmonies. Lee's voice has gravel enough to sound weighty even when cast in the album's zero gravity atmosphere." -- Pitchfork Media 7.9--
"...breaking new ground for the good of indie pop and Americana alike." -- Andrew Mall -Splendid Magazine.
" You've heard all the comparisons before, from old-timers (Gram Parsons, Lee Hazlewood) to contemporary icons (Giant Sand, Wilco), applied ad nauseam to many so-called young bucks, but this upstart deserves the praise [lowlights]..." -Fred Mills
