Previously hailed as a young guitar virtuoso, and a protégé of Walter Trout, Danny Bryant is building a formidable reputation as a leading British blues rock guitar heavyweight in his own right. On Monday 6th May, Jazzhaus Records will release his new studio album "Hurricane" in the UK. 

 

Recorded as a power trio, the new album was produced by Richard Hammerton (Manic Street Preachers). The nine songs showcase the evolution of Bryant as both guitarist and songwriter. The album bursts with power-fueled originals, groove-driven up-tempo songs, and soulful blues ballads.

 

Steve Lukather is a great guitarist and musician. I think none can say otherwise. He has given us, specifically with Toto, some “classic rock” songs throughout the years and he has also influenced a good many musicians and bands out there. His new solo album, which is entitled “Transition”, finds him out of a dark era in his personal life and, I believe that all those strong feelings and situations, he’s been through, have given him additional food for thought and creativity. Thus, it is a fitting title I guess.
