Everything you ever wanted to know about Cantinero
I was more than a little gob-smacked when I heard the news on this Sunday’s Weekend Edition, but here it is, Better For The Metaphor listed as one of the top records of 2008 by NPR. Now thats change I can believe in!

I was inspired by recent events to write a song for the Holidays - Winter In The Catskills, a holiday recession song.

The wind may be blowing cold, both literally and metaphorically, with the prevailing mood one of panic, but at least you can come take a small break from it all at Cantinero’s Better For The Metaphor NYC record release/holiday shindig! With Martin Ewens on Bass and Jonny Cragg on percussion.

“Each song is an exercise in ultra-incisiveness, from the lyrics (which, as biting social commentary, are far more insightful and witty than 90% of the pop realm’s) ”
“Cantinero is unique. It is highly unusual to find a songwriter so equally gifted in both composition and lyrics, but Chris Hicken is just that” Rating: 5 Stars (Out of 5)
“Christopher L. Hicken, the man behind the Cantinero name, has quite possibly created the best indie sleeper hit album of 2008“. Great stuff.” By Jason Thompson
