The full album release of Just Like A Dream is a sensational piece of art, from the 3 dimensional cover to the original songs that are pressed into each turn of the vinyl.
By a chance engagement at the Blue Light in Lubbock I first met Daniel Markham. I was introduced to him by Thomas Mooney an avid music fan and published author. Thomas pointed out today on X that the album even comes with a pair of 3D glasses however they may not be suitable for viewing the upcoming eclipse. To Thomas thanks for the advice, and also thanks for writing one of the greatest pieces of literature on the Caprock Music Scene in your book titled, The Lubbock Way.
Markham’s genre is sort of a gritty mix of rock and roll and gets quite heavy at times, a few of the songs on this album took me back to some of those elements of an 80’s hair band. The bass lines punch hard and the guitar gets hot. Daniel Markham’s lyrics are powerful and painful and leave you with the feeling of having heard what you were supposed to hear. I love the way a song can pull me completely into a laugh or a cry.
Daniel Has left the caprock for a time and now calls the DFW his home, y’all go check him out and pick up a record in your local music store. Don’t forget to stream his stuff on all the major services.
I’ve got the feeling he’s gonna be a big star sooner than later.
Pancho.
Awesome review!
