Schmidt has won a Kerrville New Folk award and was named to the
Chicago Tribune's 50 Most Significant Songwriters in the Last 50 Years.
"Standard Deviation" is the first single from his 2019 album of the same
title, which will marks 10 albums and 20 years as a recording artist.
His hometown Austin Chronicle said, "Danny Schmidt is spoken of in
reverent tones." Q called his art "beautifully crafted, lonesome pines
music and complex beguiling words." As fellow songwriter Jeffrey
Foucault put it: "Everything about the man is gentle, except for his
capacity for insight, which is crushing." He recently released the
single “Standard Deviation,”
which was posted to Wide Open Country and played on an episode of
Welcome To Night Vale and will be played on an episode of Star Talk
(with Neil deGrasse Tyson).

"Brilliance… Mesmerizing... Gordon delivers another album that
comes as close to sonic poetry as anything from any musician who hasn’t
already won a Nobel Prize for literature... earthy, literary music...
visceral, electric blues-based vibe."
- Scott Stroud, Associated Press, July 27, 2018
“Terrific… Another keeper… He’s one of America’s finest, most
literary and talented musicians… it’s the way Gordon crafts his words to
reflect reality without cliché that helps the music resonate long after
the last note has faded.”
- Hal Horowitz, American Songwriter, July 23, 2018
"'Tilt and Shine' may be the best rock ’n’ roll album anyone will
release this year in Davidson County and its environs... impressive
achievement."
- Edd Hurt, Nashville Scene, July 26, 2018
"I'm struck by his mastery... Nobody in this town is better."
