| | Daniel Johnston - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In the late 1970s, Johnston began recording his songs on a $59 Sony Boombox, singing and playing either guitar, piano or harmonica. | | | For example, the song "Funeral Home" in which Johnston sings that he's "going to a funeral home" represents both the foreknowledge of death and Johnston's desire to be reunited with Laurie, who at the time worked at a funeral home. | | | Johnston has cited The Beatles as a prime influence. |

| | Daniel Johnston: I think people that do interpretations of my songs are welcome to sing them as they like, and they sound all right to me. The songs on the album sound pretty good. | | | Daniel Johnston: Oh, sure, I have tons of songs that never made the albums, that's for sure. | | | Daniel Johnston: When I got into the Beatles, I was 19 years old, and it really set me going with the songs, because the music seemed to simplify the idea of songwriting in my mind and inspired me. I really got going more strongly than ever. |

| | Daniel Johnston's manic depression is the stuff of legend, and so is his musical output, which has landed him on several labels since the early Eighties, including Atlantic and Tim/Kerr, which will release a new Johnston record in January of '99. | | | Johnston showered eye contact and shy smiles on the throng, who in turn danced, shimmied and shouted, "You rock, Daniel!" A suite of solo acoustic songs preceded the full-ensemble portion of the show, which featured members of Austin's Brown Hornet. | | | Johnston's early songs, cut in single takes on a recorder in his bedroom and self-released on a series of cassettes, featured a palette of guitar, toy drum set and Fisher-Price toy chord organ, plus the occasional piano roll. |

| | TrouserPress.com :: Daniel Johnston |
| | Between institutional stays for manic depression, pop savant Daniel Johnston has recorded a vast and remarkable body of inimitably ingenuous songs, using whatever resources were at hand: a dinky cassette machine or a 48- track studio, playing piano or guitar and singing in a boyishly vulnerable tremble. | | | Johnston first reached vinyl with Homestead's 1988 reissue of Hi, How Are You. | | | Not too surprisingly, Johnston's fragile music wilts in an atmosphere of orderly organization, pristine sound and occasionally ambitious arrangements ("Life in Vain," "Happy Time" and "Lousy Weekend," which employ strings, are the exceptions to an otherwise spare instrumental rule). |

| | Johnston's songs are the kind you listen to alone; their impact is only levied in isolation from all things. | | | Untainted by fame or fortune, Johnston is (as many of his supporters put it) the purest of songwriters: a man who ultimately makes music for himself, and if others hear it, that's just grand. | | | A great Johnston song uses (intentionally or not) its ragged, amateur sound and performance to its benefit, completely catching the listener emotionally off-guard. |

| | Following his return to West Virginia from Austin, Daniel Johnston, along with producer and Shimmy Disc proprietor Kramer and the "Eye Band" (a group of Johnston's hometown friends), recorded Artistic Vice, an album filled with rough-hewn pop/rock that despite its lo-fi exterior was his most accessible release to date. | | | Artistic Vice is a consistently strong collection of songs that at times recalls the innocence of Johnston's work prior to his breakdown, while at the same time dealing both with where he had been and where he was heading. | | | His first full-length record fronting a band, Artistic Vice's sound may be lo-fi by most standards, but compared to Johnston's earlier recordings it seems downright slick. |

| | Improved medication has given Daniel Johnston peace and the ability to function, but Rejected Unknown, his first solo record in seven years, remains a musical journey created by an artistic nut. | | | We all have a favorite songwriter; in fact, we probably have a dozen: people who express a side of life so perfectly that we strive to approximate the description, and to fit into the feelings their songwriting has framed. | | | Morrissey's girlfriends in comas can never hold back their grins, but Johnston's girl at the funeral is drop-dead depressing. |
