Sherman Baker - Dreamers

“DREAMERS is the first CD I have made that I feel begins to represent me and my musical path,” says Baker. Music critic Jackson Griffith (Sacramento News & Review/Pulse Magazine) is a fan. He writes, “Baker recently released a five-song EP of his own songs that’s a real delight. Dreamers takes him out of the Americana pigeonhole and plants him in pretty firm pop-rock territory… Baker has a reedy voice similar to Chris Collingwood’s, and his sense of melody—especially on the pastoral “San Francisco”—would fit right into a Fountains of Wayne album. Baker had some A-list help: the talented, former Sacramento producer Robert “Flossy” Cheek (An Angle,Two Sheds, Britches) co-produced four songs; Jackie Greene produced “The Glass.” The only unfortunate thing about Dreamers is that it’s so short; a full album as consistently good as this might really turn some heads.”

Says Chris Macias, the pop music scribe from the Sacramento Bee: “San Francisco” is a tune from Sherman Baker, a leading singer-songwriter from the Sacramento area, with shades of Elliot Smith and Bob Dylan, and a delicate yet somber vibe.”
