Synopsis

Product Description

Dick Prall is capitalizing on his growing following nationwide. His much-anticipated fourth release, Weightless, evokes Ryan Adams and late Beatles, but is grounded by Prall's own 'porch pop' genre of beautiful pop melodies inflected with a solid rock foundation. The ten tracks were produced by Joshua 'The Colonel' Shapera (Veruca Salt, Verbow, R.Kelly). Musical great Glen Phillips (Toad the Wet Sprocket) is featured on the album's single, The Cornflakes Song, as well as If It Bends, with vocal harmonies that match perfectly with Prall's melodies. He regularly tours with Iowa's favorite roots rockers, The Nadas. Volkswagen has included Prall's music on a six-month ad campaign; he's been featured on Ourstage.com and on MyTracks.com, and Prall was featured on the cover of the Chicago Tribune's Redeye, and headlined a showcase at Austin's South By Southwest Festival 2007. Performing Songwriter notes that 'Prall has captured the excitement of youth... he's a real gem.' With a new album and a new video for B&W, not even gravity can hold Dick Prall down.

CD Reviews

Great live performer and great CD

Holly A. Gilliatt | St. Louis, MO | 10/29/2008

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I was lucky enough to get turned onto Dick Prall's music a few years ago when I saw him open up for Glen Phillips (lead singer of Toad the Wet Sprocket). He was great live and was then singing songs from another CD, Fizzlebuzzie (which I also recommend). The Editorial review compares him to Ryan Adams (who I love), although that kind of surprised me because I don't hear much of that alt-country sound in Prall's work. I get more of a folk-rock singer songwriter feel from his music. But whatever you want to call his music, I think he's very talented with a unique voice. I got the "Weightless" CD several months ago and I've been enjoying it ever since. I keep coming back to it. The song "Long Play" is my favorite on the disc...it's beautiful, optimistic, and yet somehow haunting at the same time. Not an easy thing to capture in one song but he has managed it. "The Cornflake Song" is also another favorite. "Halfway to Hollywood" is an edgier song that sticks in your head. Check out "Weightless" and I think you'll be hooked on Dick Prall. I look forward to his next effort!"
