67,000 Miles An Album
Veteran singer, songwriter, multi instrumentalist and DIY recording pioneer Richard X. Heyman once more proves himself a world-class artist whose effortless mastery of popular music idioms is matched by his uncanny knack for infusing classic styles with timeless emotional truths. Richard was one of the first “one man band” recording artists following in the grand tradition of Paul McCartney, Emitt Rhodes and Todd Rundgren. Rolling Stone magazine proclaimed him “an undiscovered treasure”. All Music Guide called him “perhaps America's greatest unsung hero of power pop, a songwriter of uncommon talent and intelligence and a one-man rock band without peer.” “67,000 Miles….” is a collection of brand-new songs mixed with some from a few years back. The earlier compositions were written for The Doughboys. Special guests including Probyn Gregory on brass, cellist Julia Kent and Chris Jenkins on viola. “Heyman retools garage-rock-ish stompers like “Travelin’ Salesman”, “Crave” and “Second Street”, into lush, swirling cascades of ringing guitarist and rich vocal harmonizing. Two other songs, “Plans” and “You Can Tell Me”, were written when Richard was a wee lad of seventeen! All in all, it all adds up to an adventurous time traveling trip through the pop landscape.” – BigTakeover.com “With a stunning new effort ‘67,000 Miles An Album’, Richard X. Heyman once again proves why he's becomes of firmly entrenched at the highest rungs of the power pop pantheon. That's no exaggeration. His mastery of making indelible hooks compelling melodies and adroit execution that sync in such a perfect tandem is, of course, well-established but now more than ever he truly deserves to be recognized in the same quarters as Brian Wilson, Ray Davies, Pete Townshend and all the other greats that hold true to a timeless template.” - Lee Zimmerman
