Search - Danny George Wilson :: Famous Mad Mile

DANNY GEORGE WILSON, frontman for press darlings GRAND DRIVE, does not let location dictate his style. Originally from Queensland, now living in South London, Danny plays deep Americana. But don't let that confuse you for a second. This is one of the 2006's most sublime alternative country albums. In essence 'The Famous Mad Mile' is a record blessed with Wilson's trademark gift for simple but powerful lyrics and beautiful, haunting melodies. It features vocal assistance from JESS KLEIN, who when singing duet sounds like a young EMMYLOU HARRIS to Danny's GRAM PARSONS. After leading Grand Drive through four wonderful and critically acclaimed albums, Danny decided to record something by and for himself. His first solo release feeds from the same pool of nostalgia that made his past efforts so good. Rich with hindsight and wisdom, a contemplative and beautiful set of songs, 'The Famous Mad Mile' is a powerful personal record that speaks with honesty. Tracing a path between the past and present, wistfully pulling lessons from the wreckage, 'The Famous Mad Mile' never puts a foot wrong.
