Just As I Am quotes...

Mojo - Tony Russell “In a strong month for blues-rock, local boy Bryant produces his most mature performance yet. The firestorm of guitar on Blues for Buddy [i.e. Guy] and the title track is calmed in occasional episodes of restraint, and the eight -minute closer, Alone In The Dark, is carefully contoured from wistful to impassioned”

Black & White Press Quotes below...

MOJO MAGAZINE The 27 year old English guitarist and singer's major label debut is a long stride forward in confidence and command of his idiom. Inspired by the wrenched-from-the-gut blues-rock of Walter Trout, Bryant is finding his own style, whether in the comfortable old clothes of the title track and 'Low Down Blues' or the sharper threads of 'Walk Away' and 'Between The Lines'.           Tony Russell

CLASSIC ROCK MAGAZINE Blues album of the Month “Black & White” is surely enough to push Bryant to his rightful place on the podium. He’s more confident in his skin as a performer & starting to blossom as a songwriter. It this doesn’t tip him over the edge, we’ll eat out hats”. 

CLASSIC ROCK MAGAZINE AUGUST “Establishing yourself as a blues guitarist when you're under the age of 30 is some feat. Doing it on the back of your own songs rather than tried and trusted blues standards makes it even sweeter”

GUITARIST MAGAZINE 'It's difficult not to admire Danny Bryant, & reassuring to listen to someone so refreshingly honest & whose playing comes over like the spiritual progeny of Walter Trout. It’s not just Danny’s no-holds-barred approach to the guitar that echoes Walter’s ethos"

GUITAR MAGAZINE "So few guitar prodigies ever amount to anything, but this Herts-born guitarist, now in his late ‘20s delivers impassioned blues rock of a top-notch calibre that justifies his ever-growing reputation"

HiFi + “These 10 songs are a fusion of taught, bluesy rockers & keenly observed soulful ballads, all delivered with excellent professionalism by an amazing talent. Anyone who thinks the Americans have sole ownership of the blues should give this a listen”. 

BLUES MATTERS "While Danny and his excellent band could be put in the same frame as Walter Trout or Joe Bonamassa for example, this new CD, with its ten tracks, has that definable British edge to it. We are blessed here in the UK with many fine players and Danny is way up there with the best. 

BLUES IN THE SOUTH "Danny has been on the cusp of being a top-flight blues act for some time now. This CD may do the trick for him. The CD ranges from the laid back acoustic track after which the album is named “Black & White” – to stunning stadium rock like “Last Goodbye”. There is no doubt that Danny has a ferocious talent.”

GREAT YARMOUTH ADVERTISER “Danny Bryant has an awe-inspiring ability to write & play tracks that hold such passion, whether it be from the screaming guitar solos, the smooth blues licks or the soulful edgy vocals. If you have not heard this prodigy’s work, you don’t know what you are missing – you need this album”.

NET RHYTHMS "Danny Bryant is one of the best guitar players that I have heard this year and that’s ‘black and white’. 

GET READY TO ROCK  "Danny shows growing confidence on the blockbusting rock ballad ‘Love Remains’ which aside from being one of his best ever vocal outings is full of lashing of full toned wailing guitar that evokes the lyrics superbly. It’s the kind of song that I’m sure Joe Bonamassa would love to have written, but meanwhile I’m equally sure it’s going to be a Danny Bryant showstopper in years to come". 

THE CRACK (Newcastle)  “British guitarist Danny Bryant is being promoted as the UK’s Joe Bonamassa an artist with whom he’s already shared a stage, & judging by this album the comparison has validity with searing heavy blues guitar played with verve & passion, spread across 10 self-penned tracks. There’s also light & shade provided by the slower songs, including the standout ‘Any Wonder’. Bryant also provides some excellent raw, impassioned vocals. 

CLASSIC ROCK SOCIETY "No longer the new kid on the block, Danny Bryant is now firmly established amongst the elite of the British Blues scene. This new album has all the familiar Bryant traits, rough hewn vocals & ballistic guitar solos, Danny remains head & shoulders above many of his contemporaries".
