Album Description "A gorgeous collection. The voice echoes Van the Man, Jagger and Dylan at their soulful, musical best. But Jesse DeNatale somehow remains his own man, with his own memories, stories, and visions. They're not only well worth hearing, they're well worth hearing again and again." - Ben Fong-Torres, former Rolling Stone senior editor Jesse DeNatale's second release highlights the Bay Area songwriter's eloquent merging of musical heritage - both folk & Tin Pan Alley - and contemporary song structures. This album is a paean to San Francisco and a simple meditation on life and death. DeNatale has described his music as "troubadour soul," a mix of the folk story tradition with an inspired sense of rhythm & blues. Always feeling a strong influence from the geography specific to the area he is in, and the history of its people, DeNatale's songwriting is imbued with optimism and humor, refreshingly free of sarcasm and irony. His fanbase includes Rambling Jack Elliott, U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins, and Tom Waits, who described him as "a unique and original American voice." Similar CDs

CD ReviewsIt does not get any better than this Stenie M. Di Sospiro | DC Area | 10/10/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) ""Soul Parade" takes Jesse DeNatale's journey into interstellar overdrive. Don't get me wrong: "Shangri-La West" is truly great, but "Soul Parade" defies superlatives. The legendary guitarist Andres Segovia wrote: "A song on a piano is a discourse; on a cello, an elegy; on a guitar, a song is just a song." In "Soul Parade" the piano dominates, as if the troubadour, having found a welcoming court, could stop traveling and give a rest to his portable instrument. Why, in this splendid court a grand piano is put at his disposal. So the troubadour atypically sits down, and no longer writes songs, but... discourses. Yet he is made of such golden stuff, he is so pure at heart, his "discourses" are not pompous, or boring. Just more profound and resonant, but as moving as ever, more than ever, perhpas. For that is the point: DeNatale's songs can be happy or sad, funny or haunting, but always involving. Listening to his songs is a participatory experience for the audience: they move us. And there lies the difference: there is so much soul in them, it spills over into the audience. This is a work of genius and compassion at the same time." Shining Really Bright Jerry L. Withrow | Elizabethtown, North Carolina United States | 10/02/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is more a note of appreciation than a review. I find myself returning to this CD again and again as a paliative to the pain my country seems wedded to at present. The phrase may have lost some of its power from sentimental abuse, but I'll still insist this is a "life-affirming" work of the first order. It dances and whirls, roughly breathing one man's vision of America's streets, and my goodness... he's smiling! I'll venture that you will too as you're caught in these twelve carny spells - cast as shrewd witchery of the Waits/Springsteen order - yet identifiably now, the welcome voice of Jesse De Natale. Thanks.... now everybody dive in." Something Clever Thomas R. Hodges | Peoria, IL | 11/16/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "Soul Parade is an incredible album of imemense depth and will be enjoyed by anyone who loves music. Shangri la West is fecking rad as well."
