Fifty-word review

Welcome To My World

Buy It

Daniel Johnston's brilliance shines in this sparkling canon that is a must for music aficionados and a masterful introduction to the artist. Do not be fooled by the apparent simplicity of voice and instrument. Underneath lies breathtaking songwriting and clever chords. As to the human condition? He just gets it.

Reminds us of Sparklehorse, Bob Dylan, The Eels
