Rarities

Denison Witmer is sort of like the Tim Duncan of singer/songwriters.. fundamentally sound, disciplined, and predictably good. I'd probably rather watch Denison Witmer play basketball than Tim Duncan though, so they obviously don't have the boring-factor in common. While Witmer may not exhibit the flash of other songwriters, he consistently releases quality material and has been doing so since 1995. The Pennsylvanian has put together a respectable catalog which includes five LP's, a cover album, and two EP's. His 2005 album, Are You A Dreamer, was produced by Don Peris of The Innocence Mission and features some instrumentation from indie wunderkind Sufjan Stevens. In 2006, Witmer released an EP of alternate versions and b-sides entitled Are You A Sleeper?, which contained a great acoustic version of "Little Flowers" and a reworking of "Are You A Dreamer," both of which appeared on the 2005 album of the same name. -- Capt.
