Single Review - Best Worst Habit - Danny McMahon

 

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
