Though he would come to notoriety in the late '90s through Joan Baez and Dar Williams' cover versions of his songs, and his participation in Cry, Cry, Cry, a trio including Williams and Lucy Kaplansky, Shindell seemed to come out of nowhere with 1992's SPARROW'S POINT. His rich baritone is reminiscent of John Gorka (with whom Shindell played in a college group), and his dark, poetic songs show the influence of Richard Thompson and Leonard Cohen. Nevertheless, Shindell is a complete original, and this debut shows an artist already fully formed, thanks in part to an apprenticeship on the do-or-die New York singer-songwriter scene. Imagistic reveries like "On a Sea of Fleur-De-Lis" and ominous story-songs like "By Now" are indicative of a world-class songwriter with a unique vision.
