    No mere album, If I’ve Only One Time Askin’ is a career milestone for Daniel Romano, one that should see his music reaching a wider audience.

    You won't hear a more open hearted, impassioned and lyrically rich roots album this year.

    What sets Romano apart is the natural, ineffable blue mood of his sad songs, which hit the heart dead-on without ever sounding forced, as well as his impressive studio techniques, all of which are on display on Romano's fourth solo album, 2015's If I've Only One Time Askin'.

    Like many of Romano's meticulous creations, it possesses all the hallmarks of a classic: a compelling, twisting narrative that bends the music to its shape.

    A magnificent, subtle reshaping of classic honky-tonk sounds and sentiment, fulfills that promise and then some.

    Like all great Country records, Romano’s is cathartic--your heart aches for him and with him--and it is this emotive sway that makes the record a success.

    He brings real feeling to his own compositions such as Let Me Sleep (At the end of a Dream).
