Danny has always rejoiced in
pushing the boundaries of Country Music production, and this latest single, Best
Worst Habit, is a continuation of that – if not pushing them even further.
If you have seen Danny perform
live, you will know that he is a natural born showman, giving the same high
energy performance whether he is playing to 20 or 2000, and somehow, he seems
to roll that up into a studio recording.
An unusual introduction of guitar
picking, and a few studio tricks leads into the pop side of country, suiting
Danny’s persona.
Although not traditional
country, Danny certainly includes the classic country themes in his lyrics – smoking
(Marlboro Lights), whiskey and tequila as his list of bad habits certainly
conjures up images we can relate to. He compares his relationship to all those
bad habits, something that is no good for him but something he just can’t shake
off or give up but obviously she is the best of all of them giving comfort and
relieving pain.
Running his own recording
facility in Bristol – Puzzle Maker Studios – means that Danny has the chance to
work with and nurture some of the fresh new talent in UK Country, and for this
song he has collaborated with Lauren Campbell on what is essentially a
country/funk crossover track.
Everyone has a bad habit or
two, accept it and even celebrate it.
Make this track a habit, it
will help to make you smile.
Best Worst Habit, the new single from Danny McMahon is available on all major platforms from Friday 13 November
