  It's rare that my eyes well up several times while listening to an album.   Each song is like a poem that tears through the mundane. Their imagery is extraordinary. The vocals are intricate, natural and free. ......a true testament that pearls are created from the friction of sand.

Kim O'Leary, Singer/Songwriter

This is one of the best CDs to cross my path in a long time: --beautiful, unique voice loaded with emotion.. --the writing is excellent; very powerful songwriting weaves traditional Irish melody, rhythm, and instrumentation into contemporary songwriting so beautifully. A very original, unique work....--the production is exquisite....

My Childhood in an Irish Orphanage

This body of work is the perfect melding of melody, style, technique, lyrics and feeling. Several tracks are just acoustic guitar and voice. Part of its beauty lies in its sparseness, and it works well with the subject matter. ( Sounds like) it’s the CD Danny’s been waiting his whole life to make.

Phil Colpas, Pelican Press, Sarasota Fl

This (album)  is amazing. It exceeds any sort of expectations in that it's varied, always musically interesting, melodic, but above all honest and amazingly revealing and unsentimental and unbitter. I played it at home on Saturday the way you do when you have a pile of duty CDs to work through. When it got to the end I played it again start to finish, and then again.

Jim Lockhart , Producer, RTE Radio/Television

It's truly a masterpiece.  And I mean that in the ancient sense of the word, when the “masterpiece” was the work an artisan or artist did to demonstrate his mastery of his craft.  Every song is a gem – every emotion clear, 3-dimensional, and so truly expressed by the music and lyrics, so beautifully woven together. Not a false note, musically or emotionally, all the way through. The lyrics alone are worth the price of admission – completely personal and at the same time universal; ....... such a gifted storyteller.  And his voice tugs at my heart in every song; some are almost unbearably poignant.
