After New West artist Anthony D’Amato played a Tiny Desk session for NPR, Bob Boilen wrote: “Anthony D’Amato sings and writes in the tradition of Bruce Springsteen or Josh Ritter: His songs sound friendly musically, but they also tackle the difficult and the twisted. Like those great songwriters, D’Amato’s work is universal without devolving into moping. There’s also a spirit to these songs, as it’s easy to imagine a crowd spontaneously backing these his powerful choruses.”
Check out the complete session below, featuring the songs “Was The Time,” “Good and Ready” and “Ludlow”…
