Mosey music is a study in contrasts: glitz and grit, revelling and wallowing, wretchedness and showmanship. Mosey music's pioneers wore their battered hearts on sequined sleeves. From Bakersfield to Galveston, the legends traded their tragicomic highs and lows for Gold records and white Cadillacs. The days of Buckaroos, Nudie Suits and various Hanks are over and to quote George Jones, "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes?" Enter Daniel Romano, a songwriter who delivers mosey croonin' and hard luck storytelling. While references to marquee names like Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Merle Haggard are apparent in Romano's music, the obvious influences don't demystify his talent. Romano works with equal parts authenticity and creativity. His musical world is rich with archetypes and archrivals, wry observations and earnest confessions. Romano's solo debut, Workin' For The Music Man (2010) announced a new artistic bearing. The follow-up, Sleep Beneath The Willow, was pure honky tonk poetry, and received impressive response from all corners. Come Cry With Me furthers his mosey aesthetic, musical and visual. Self-produced and played by himself, Romano's newest album, Polaris long listed again, continues with themes of bad choices, hard times, boozing and losing.
