"Ott comes off as a guitar hero of the first degree, able to serve up everything from flashing acoustic runs to notes that fall like teardrops on a honky-tonk floor. A marvelous player, he has more delicious tones and shadings at his disposal than a gambling cheat has face cards...his sizzling soloing simultaneously rings like a bell and tears like a saw."  -Mike Boehm, The Los Angeles Times

"Ott's playing is always strikingly melodic, as economical or wildly expansive as the moment dictates."  -Randy Lewis, The Los Angeles Times

"Danny Ott. In his many years with Chris Gaffney & the Cold Hard Facts, Ott established himself as OC's best utility player: not just excelling at Bakersfield twang, blistering rock, low-riding R&B, Norteno two-step, and everything else Gaffney threw at him, but also making it all his own with a drive and lyricism unmatched by most stadium-filling guitarists." -OC Weekly, naming Danny as one of five "Essential OC Guitar Players".
