Singer, guitarist, and songwriter Michael Landgarten brings his gift for timeless storytelling to his latest release, ‘But I Do’. With a seamless blend of rock, folk, and soul, the track calls to mind the gritty vocals of Eric Clapton.
Landgarten’s musical journey began like so many, picking up a guitar as a teen, and, taking inspiration from the likes of Bob Dylan, The Beatles, The Who, Chuck Berry, and Otis Redding, he worked out how to make the instrument his own. This led to becoming the frontman and lyricist for The Doc Johnson Blues and The Zeftrons in the 1990s and 2000s, honing his style to what it is today.
‘But I Do’, from his most recent album, ‘Back To You’, is gravelly and compelling, with a sonic ferocity that tries – not very successfully – to hide the ardency of his feelings towards the person he’s singing about. It is, however, pretty clear he’s fallen head over heels for them. He doesn’t want to love them, he doesn’t want to kiss them, he doesn’t want to think about them (especially at the store) – but he does. He really does. Who can’t relate to that?
