Danny on electric slide guitar, acoustic guitar & backing vocals. From Dave Alvin's 'Eleven Eleven' CD. |
"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." 'Are You Listenin' Lucky'
As Gaffney says, "Here's a tune by Joe Ely...and Deep Purple." Danny on lead guitar. Recorded live at The Swallows Inn, San Juan Capistrano. From the 'Live & Then Some' CD. |
'Leave My Little Girl Alone'
Recorded live at Matt Barnes & Jann Browne's wedding. Danny & three other guests took the stage and pulled this off pretty well--there might have been some drinking involved. (Danny doesn't dig in until after the keyboard solo.) Danny/lead guitar & vocals Mike Ricciardi/drums Tom Clift/bass Dave James/keyboards Video by Tom Potts 'East of Houston,
