Street Pilot, according to the esteemed American critic Roy Hayden, is "clearly one of the most important figures of the modern pop era." In a career that now spans three decades, Street Pilot has long since emerged as an extraordinary innovative force, a singular voice whose music remains determinedly well beyond the fads and fashions of popular culture.
The observations are often extraordinary and peculiar. The impassioned interchange of talk. As if the whole world had but one voice to hear.
Spoken-word and Bop-talk take you on a trip, summoning forth a stream of images, with illustrative stories and musical expostulations that achieve unexpected changes of tone, pace, tension, and surprise.
Creating a mood, the elegantly poetic, and emotionally direct ballads, are not designed to reinforce your lifestyle. They are coming from a different place;
What you hear in the music is warm, wise, honest songs about dreams and memory, the thrills of fresh adventure, the lessons of hard experience, and the wisdom that comes with knowing that you came back from the wars of confusion, with something worth remembering.
His confessional narratives, his deep close singing, and the quiet urgent intimacy of the recordings tell a bigger, and a deeper story.
Street Pilot has expanded and drawn from a deep well of American and European song idioms: folk, blues, country, jazz ballads, polkas, waltzes, cabaret, swing, and popular ballads.
His music has taken adventurous turns, from confessional country-blues and jazz-flavored lounge music, to primal rock and avant-garde musical theater. With turns that are tender and poignant, to strange and twisted, his songs tend to explore the dark underbelly of society as he gives his uniquely human voice to adventurers both romantic and mercenary, drifters, con artists and those forgotten characters on the fringe and in the fray.
You will hear that warmth and honesty as he wrestles with the personal and struggles with the universal. The ways in which we live, love; the ways we screw up, then make up; the hopes we share and the tales that come from the striving.
Appearing at a time when pop music is looming, Street Pilot provides an alternative with a beat, and a voice that is captivating.
The complexities of Street Pilot's character and music, may never be weighed by a single observer. His measure as a cult figure is sported by the lapel button worn by many of his fans.
