It is taking longer than expected to fetch the next song to play.
The music should be playing soon.

Dan Reeder was born in Louisiana in 1954, the son of a minister, but grew up in Southern California. He attended Santa Ana College and later studied art at Cal State Fullerton, where he met his German-born wife. The couple relocated to Germany, where Reeder currently makes his living as a painter. Also a musician, Reeder began making his own instruments, using them to write and record his own songs on a recording rig he also built himself. A cassette tape of Reeder's work made it into John Prine's hands and was released on Prine's Oh Boy label in 2003. The album, simply called Dan Reeder, received a good deal of critical acclaim for its unique, homemade blend of blues, folk, gospel, and field hollers, and for its decidedly D.I.Y. approach, which, given the fact that he built every instrument he played on the album, Reeder has taken to its furthest extreme. Reeder has stated that he is a painter who plays music because "there are some things you can't paint." A second album on Oh Boy, Sweetheart, appeared in 2006. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi
Love love love Dan Reeder. Picked up all of his albums, thanks to Pandora for introducing me to him.

A truly creative human being. I love the irreverence of his songs and the purity of his homespun delivery. Thanks for your music Dan, and thanks John for getting it to us. BTW: you have been one of my favorite song writers for more years than I care to think about.

Dont know which I like more, his music or his art.
If he is reading this, I have a house concert series starting in April with John Flynn near New Paltz, NY. If ever needing such a gig, here, contact me at gunkshouseconcerts@myspace.com to see if we can work something out. Artist gets 20 tickets of gate, 5 to house owner (not me). John Redman
Purely lovely....one of my favorite songs ever, and done beautifully here.

Wow. Radical simplicity. You can tell that this guy with his unique voice is also a visual artist. What a breath of fresh air. He's one of the few males that I allow on my Be Good Tanyas station.

Thank you Pandora for letting Dan Reeder out of your box....
I listen thinking that it's missing something and then I realize that whats missing is all of the crap added in to make a "good" record by most artist. Bare bones at its best.
Leave it to John Prine... I, also, never heard of this groovy dude until Pandora. She's like my secret girlfriend. 'Cept she's a whore, cuz you all know her, too.
