Danny Brooks
'Listening to Danny Brooks is like driving out of Memphis, TN on a sunny Saturday morning into the Mississippi Delta listening to WDIA. It's one of those things where time stands still. A dash of Eddie Hinton, Solomon Burke, Rev. James Cleveland and Howlin' Wolf are all ingredients in Danny's soulful musical stew'. states Greg Martin of the Kentucky Headhunters. John Donabie veteran broadcaster of CFRB in Toronto had this to say about the lead off single from 'Rock This House' -'Danny Brooks has definitely 'kicked it up a notch' with his new CD and first single 'Hold On'. Danny has brought the classic soul of Memphis into 2005. His vocals are spicy hot and the lyrics to 'Hold On' will take you to a soulful place not unlike Stax Records. Rock n' Soul at it’s best!' Danny Brooks hybrid blend of Americana Roots music is distinctive and real. Maybe Greg Quill, noted musician and arts writer for the Toronto Star, sums it up the best: 'This is Roots music of great distinction.'
