Adrian Whitehead, Bryan Estepa & Danna & The Changes
By • 02/05/2010
The latest batch from Oz’s Popboomerang label includes these very delightful platters from three pop-rock oriented singer-songwriters. Mr. Whitehead leads with his piano and a (solo) Lennonesque singing style and sense of arrangement. Which makes it kind of easy to look at Mr. Estepa as falling on the (early ‘70s) McCartney side of this, admittedly small, scale: what with various such instrumental touches as well as more of an openness to his vocals, but it would probably only be in juxtaposition. Jumping off that analogy, the surname less Danna hails from the Victoria provinces but vocalizes and arranges like a cornfed Midwesterner.
