Reviews
Veteran Austin musician Danny Britt's seventh Album is indeed, as the title says, all over the map stylistically, but in a good way. The unifying vibe is late-night bar, two or three people drinking alone, reflectively droning their sorrows and pondering the roads not taken, and Britt uses this on classic ballads ('The Bar Stool'), the jazz-tinged ‘Heart’s Desire', the country ‘You Might Not Say’, the wryly funny ‘Tularosa" and more. Britt’s voice is smooth and easy on the ear, his acoustic guitar playing tasteful and economical and his accompanists slot in effortlessly, particularly Chip Dolan on piano. His is the sort of music you can ease into, comfortable and relaxing but with lyrical insight. People like Britt are the unsung heroes of the Americana world, never making many waves but turning out solid music for decades, the sort of songs that you stumble across unexpectedly, nod appreciatively at and wish you'd heard earlier.

Based in Austin, Britt’s seventh album, All Over The Map, is succinctly summed up by its title, the genres contained within wandering between jazz, old time country, folk and Americana. It’s country saloon sensibility is set with the dusty voiced, piano waltzer opening track, ‘The Bar Stool’ where “there’s a sad song playing on the juke box” and “a drunken old fool” sitting all alone “thinking about where it all went wrong”. All over the map it might be, but it’s well worth planning a route through it.

Danny Britt - All Over The Map - FEBRUARY 26, 2023
BY FRED SCHMALE
The delightful simplicity of the title radiates to the delightful simplicity of the music. But don't be fooled, this Austin dude is just damn good at what he does. Danny has one of the most beautiful and smooth voices in Austin, plays great guitar and together with his mates he provides a 'must have' for fans of Austin folk. (Independent, Red Dawg Music)

Doninique Costanoga, Country Music Gazette / Radio Marseillette - France
"Powerful vocalist and a sensitive interpreter of lyrics. All the songs are an unusual boldness and richness. Great Album!!! Like a Jewel... No, sorry, your album is not a jewel but a super, a wonderful jewelry case".
Dino Della Casa, planetcountry.it and Country Store, The official magazine of the Bluegrass & Country Music Association of Italy.
"To date Danny Britt & Red Dawg - Texas Stuff has not gotten the credit that it deserves. In the distance of a couple years from Red Dawg music comes Danny Britt - The Other Side and the disc does not disappoint, indeed."
Laurie-Ann Copple, CKCU 93.1 FM, Canada
"I find Danny's music approachable - medaning that it touches the pulse of the listener - they can identify with it...it's real."
Matt Watroba, Sing Out Magazine
"Texas Stuff is an excellent first outing from this duo raised in Kentucky and planted in one of the hottest musical beds in the country."
Lynne Thompson, New Texas Magazine
'Danny Britt's newest release The Other Side (Austin Red Dawg Publishing) is filled with the wonderful sounds of that laid back, down-home, progressive-folk style that have made him and his band Red Dawg performing favorites in Austin for years." "The Other Side showcases Danny Britt's versatility and talent, and boasts some of Austin's best musicians and performers."
Gary Barton, KBEC and the Texas Theater
"Several of the songs will get airplay on my show at KBEC and other stations should be playing them too. Some fantastic songwriting and vocals. Good job!
