•CD REVIEW: Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange by Mark S. Tucker -- If you happen to be of the Baby Boom Generation, you're probably quite familiar with the outfall of drugs. I'm not in the least anti-drug but do have several friends I no longer have due to all that, now dead or insane. I, too, had my times, mostly good but there's a dark side, and, if you get caught by it, God help ya. Danny Brooks got caught but made it back to tell the story…in an incredibly...read more!

Music City Blues Society – Nashville, TN - NO EASY WAY OUT- by Don Crow
Danny Brooks has certainly seen his share of the blues. Personal battles with addictions drove him down, but assuredly not out.

Cashbox Magazine: Music Editor Mike Peace on 'Ain't That The Truth': This is what blues music has always been and is as good as it gets. This single represents and tributes other great artists of the blues genre such as: Muddy Waters, Ry Cooder and John Lee Hooker. Danny is a consummate professional who truly believes the least he can do for his audience is to give his best. And it shows! This song could have been played in the Blues Brothers and felt totally at home in the presence of Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin. The song has such an infectious sense of rhythm that there is no way to not tap your foot clap your hands and jump up and testify, screamin’ “Hallelujah, I've been healed”.
