Danny Brooks 'The Hill Country Soul Man', now settled in Llano Texas has mixed the best of both Texas and Mississippi and calls it 'Texassippi'. Consider it down home, foot stompin' soul music punctuated with slide and wailing high lonesome harmonica wrapped in raspy soulful vocals similar to Otis Redding and Taj Mahal. Danny performs on assorted guitars, harp rack and stomp board and piano handy.
'Listening to Danny Brooks is like driving out of Memphis, TN on a sunny Saturday morning into the Mississippi Delta listening to WDIA. It's one of those things where time stands still. A dash of Eddie Hinton, Solomon Burke, Rev. James Cleveland and Howlin' Wolf are all ingredients in Danny's soulful musical stew'. states Greg Martin of the Kentucky Headhunters. Maybe Greg Quill, noted musician and arts writer for the Toronto Star, sums it up the best: 'This is Roots music of great distinction.'
