(12/1/04) An outstanding review of Danny Haller's CD, "Meet Danny Haller/Driving Blind" appeared on the home page of iBluegrass.com magazine (from December thru February '05) entitled DANNY HALLER -A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH.

Some excerpts: "It is very rare in the experience of a reviewer to come across a musical treasure - a diamond in the rough - a new talent that is as yet undiscovered by the rest of the bluegrass world"..."from the very first track,sung as a duet with his wife, I felt an excitement about their sound together and thought to myself "shades of Wilma Lee & Stoney Cooper"..."Danny's exceptional hard-driving banjo picking shines throughout the record, playing banjo on all tracks, and bringing that 'soul' into each song..." "I highly recommend "Driving Blind" as a refreshing new addition to traditional bluegrass music's wealth of musicianship that speaks to the heart and touches the soul...I guarantee if you love traditional bluegrass, you will love this CD."

(11/3/04) GREAT NEWS!! The Bluegrass Channel of MUSIC CHOICE, a national cable TV FREE music service (also available on Direct TV), has played 2 songs from Danny Haller's CD "Driving Blind" on a rotation basis, with personal information about Danny and his band.

This is an extremely exciting development and a validation of the acceptance Danny's CD is receiving from fans and radio stations from as far away as Montana, Oregon, and Canada!

The song "We'll Keep Bluegrass Alive" is an original by Inez Haller, written when a D.C. public radio station took drivetime Bluegrass off the airwaves with no warning. The other song being played from the CD is "What About You".

XM Satellite Radio has also given Danny's CD some airtime, playing Shenandoah Breakdown and Little Liza Jane.

Let us know if you've heard it! Thanks.

(2/20/04) An update of the article, BLIND BLUEGRASSS, by Michael Zitz, appears in the February edition of BLUEGRASS UNLIMITED.
