Voices in My HeadrnrnAbout the ArtistrnStephen Lynch has enraged the witless and convulsed the enlightened…all in the sweetest tone of voice, with the most sensitive guitar picking on record since Gordon Lightfoot. He thinks of himself as a serious singer/songwriter. His inspirations, when he began playing guitar and writing songs, were people like Paul Simon and Joni Mitchell. "I\'ve always admired people who can tell a story with a simple song," he explains. "You don\'t need much more than a guitar or a piano and a voice. That\'s what I\'ve responded to, even when I was a kid. Even now, I like to think that both Joni and I are expressing some sort of truth -- hers might be just a little deeper, that\'s all."rnrnStephen\'s radio appearances have become the stuff of legend ("He\'s radio gold," Greg Hughes, a.k.a. Opie of The Opie and Anthony Show, told The New York Times.) He blew the lid off of Comedy Central Presents in 2000 by racking up higher ratings than almost every other episode of the show. Then came the CDs: A Little Bit Special (2000), recorded in a Brooklyn basement, snatched up with no discernible promotion by thousands of fans, and labeled "an instant comedy classic" by CD-Now, Superhero (2002), a pastiche of recordings made live at five different gigs around New York, and due out October 4th 2005 "The Craig Machine".
