Once a New York City soundman who performed his music on the side, David Poe soon found himself on the city’s best stages wowing audiences in the '90s with a low-key intensity that led to comparisons to Duncan Sheik and his and every somber singer/songwriter’s hero, Nick Drake. A new studio album, always heartfelt and convincing, appears every few years just when it seems he’s done with it. Though he's often producing records for others, (notably Regina Spektor) and writing music for TV, (including Nashville) and film and dance, Poe’s returned to the solo platform with divine strength and focus on what’s being referred to as his fourth solo album, 2014’s God & the Girl. Cello often accompanies his exquisitely fingerpicked acoustic guitar playing. Songs like “Honey Moon” and “Lonely Like Me” immediately establish the forlorn, chamber folk sense at which he excels. “Wild One” works with a mesmerizing acoustic pattern. “When I Fly” raises the voice to greater effect, reminiscent of his fine work on The Late Album.
