Danny Bryant's Redeyeband -- Night Life (Jazzhaus Records)

[David Blue]

 

 

Danny Bryant is a guitar player and if you are in any doubt after the scintillating blues guitar on Tell Me then you may as well turn off the music now. Guitar comparisons to his contemporary, Joe Bonamassa, come to a head on the grinding blues rock of Heartbreaker and his voice echoes of Joe Cocker and Axl Rose on the ballad, Love Of Angels. Three covers in the shape of Master Of Disaster (John Hiatt), My Baby’s A Superstar (Buddy Guy) and Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door (Bob Dylan) sit easily beside the self-penned songs and his mastery of the audience is evident on the closing track, Always With Me. I’m surprised his guitar lasts the evening the way that it has been thrashed about.
