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

•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. In August of 1987, he dedicated his life
to Christ, and has been on both a spiritual and musical
upturn since then. And, with Rockin' Camel's release of "No
Easy Way Out," Danny has successfully painted a musical
self-portrait...read

•ChristianWeek Musical Routes -
Brooks knows the Blues
- by D.S. Martin
Unfortunately, it’s not surprising if you don’t know Danny
Brooks. He’s been kicking around little venues, flying under
the radar of the Canadian music business for years. And, as
is so often the case with blues musicians, he’s been getting
better with age.....read

•Shades of Blue UK:
CD review by the primer - Danny Brooks: No Easy Way
Out
This is going to sound horribly like a broken record (no pun
intended) but here we go again - another solid slice of
southern R&B from a very fine singer/ songwriter that is yet
again in great danger...read

•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”. |

•NO EASY WAY OUT: Canadian by Birth
- Southern by the Grace of God - by Bill Thames
More than anything else, Danny Brooks is spiritual, but Danny
Brooks is soul, too, and deep South gospel tinged with haunting
blues. And if you listen close enough you’ll even hear a touch
of raw, chilling, Ralph Stanley style mountain music, too. In
addition, Danny Brooks could easily be the most sincere
man in show business today simply because he has discovered the
key to touching his audience’s heart, and there is no smoke and
mirrors involved...read more |
