One of the most prolific and celebrated blues-rock artists in the UK, Danny Bryant is to release a brand new album - ‘Rise’ - on 29 September through Jazzhaus Records. His 13th album is Danny at his dynamic best - his distinctive guitar once again complementing his gravel tone vocal that exudes with the raw emotion this new body of work intended.
‘Rise’ follows the release of his critically acclaimed 2021 album ‘Rage To Survive’ Written by Danny (with the exception of the Bob Dylan cover ‘I Want You’) and co-produced with Ian Dowling, ‘Rise’, like all twelve albums previous, further deepens Danny’s authority as one of the leaders in British blues-rock proving his genuine authenticity.
The album opens with the title track ‘Rise’, which is available to hear now, is 2 mins 52 of pure blues-rock with Danny’s playing evolving throughout to then fade and almost blend into ‘Animal In Me’ which raises the tempo with its more classic blues rhythmic pattern allowing his vocal to stretch and shine before track three - ‘Louise’ - slows the album back down with a more solemn acoustic feel that brings anguish out in the track.
Track four - ‘Hard Way To Go’ - goes back to the more riff-heavy-guitar playing Danny is known for before beautifully contrasting with the toned-down acoustic playing of ‘Scarlett Street’.
‘Into The Slipstream’ moves the album into a positive optimistic direction beautifully encapsulated by a gospel vocal accompaniment that supports and builds the track throughout before once again contrasting yet blending brilliantly with track seven ‘Julienne’ that is more piano-focused, relying on Danny’s vocal to bring the emotion while still running gospel vocal through the track.
The final three tracks of the album are almost an encapsulation of the whole album. ‘Silver and Gold’ has a more traditional, stripped-back blues feel, whilst Bob Dylan cover ‘I Want You’ follows a simple acoustic chord pattern and once again Danny’s vocal carries the passion of the track throughout with light and shade demonstrating his vocal power before going into the final track ‘Drown Jam’ that as the title suggests, is Danny playing with pure feel. The album's final trio of tracks is a testament to why Danny is one of Britain’s great blues-rock artists.
