Marshall Crenshaw

His first album, Marshall Crenshaw, was acclaimed as a pop masterpiece upon release, proving Crenshaw a first-rate songwriter, singer and guitarist. His second album, Field Day, sported a somewhat heavier sound which displeased some listeners, but Field Day is regarded by many critics as Crenshaw’s best album, and one of the classic power pop statements, although Crenshaw’s work, like Alex Chilton’s, transcends the genre. “Some of the stuff I’ve done you could call power pop,” he told an interviewer. “But the term does have sort of a dodgy connotation.”
Although Marshall Crenshaw has never sold enormous numbers of records, he enjoys a reputation as one of the finest songwriters of the era, with roots in classic soul music, British Invasion songcraft, Burt Bacharach and Buddy Holly — to whom Crenshaw was often compared in the early days of his career, and whom he portrayed in the 1987 film La Bamba.
