It’s wonderful that KYLE DANIEL has launched a CD that might turn into one of the vital perfect releases of 2024, as he turns out to have pop out of nowhere with this sensational album. Initially from Kentucky, Kyle performed in a couple of bands prior to going solo. Sooner or later, he settled in Nashville, the place he constructed an excellent community round him. On his debut album, Kentucky Gold, he will get lend a hand from Jaren Johnston (THE CADILLAC THREE), Brian Elmquist (THE LONE BELOW), Mike Krompass (songwriter, multi-instrumentalist), and lots of different musicians and (backing) singers from the Nashville scene. His debut album, Kentucky Gold, is launched on SNAKEFARM/SPINEFARM RECORDS/UNIVERSAL MUSIC, and after listening to only some seconds of the primary music, I knew this used to be going to be one hell of a journey. Kyle’s voice is solely wonderful to hear—function and original, he already feels like an enormous rockstar in spite of this being his first actual recording!
The album options 12 songs in general, and the opener, “Can’t Grasp Me Again,” has a slight trendy American melodic heavy rock contact, paying homage to the KRIS BARRAS BAND. The next monitor, “Fireplace Me Up” (a duet with MAGGIE ROSE), is a wonderful Southern rock-infused bluesy groovy rocker stuffed with beautiful soulful melodies within the BLACKBERRY SMOKE / ROBERT JON AND THE WRECK taste. “Runnin’ From Me” follows in a natural outlaw nation taste, reminding me of every other new hotshot, JACKSON DEAN. Thus far, so just right—musically, the album is slightly various, transferring between outlaw nation, Southern rock, and trendy melodic rock, however at all times keeping up that uncooked, grimy American vibe, because of Kyle’s excellent Southern-fried voice.

The range continues with the midtempo bluesy soul-AOR track “A Guy Like That,” which has a kind of AXE / JIMMY BARNES / BENNY MARDONES vibe, crossed with a reasonably polished THE BLACK KEYS sound. As soon as once more, I should emphasize that Kyle’s voice is de facto wonderful, and if he can sing are living with the similar uncooked authenticity, he’s indubitably one to observe sooner or later. Fortunately, his song could also be sensational, with out a susceptible moments to be discovered on his debut album. Kyle additionally performs guitar and wrote or co-wrote lots of the songs.
The gradual, semi-bluesy ballad “Southern Sounds” has a Southern LYNYRD SKYNYRD contact, with a touch of nation, because of visitor singer KENDELL MARVEL. “Me & My Previous Guy” is the music that made me notice who Kyle jogs my memory of—this midtempo Westcoast-middle-of-the-road mild AOR music sounds so much like DUKE JUPITER. Should you understand that band and their lead singer, you’ll perceive what I’m speaking about. Then again, Kyle could also be in comparison to the mighty CHRIS STAPLETON, which is able to most probably make you much more occupied with trying out this sensational singer! I additionally love the twin-guitar sound in opposition to the tip of this music.
The album continues with “Summer season Down South,” a natural uptempo Southern rocker that includes the band THE CADILLAC THREE as visitors. “Following The Rain” slows issues down as a calmer, acoustic, Americana-driven music, whilst “Deep In The Woods” brings us again to that stunning midtempo Southern rock path, like BLACKBERRY SMOKE. “Wild, Unfastened & Simple” is a radio-friendly, summer-ish, uptempo AOR/pop/rock track (a l. a. JIMI JAMISON and JOHN FARNHAM), which might simply turn into a radio hit international. SARAH ZIMMERMANN visitors at the midtempo Southern rocker “Everyone’s Talkin’,” whilst the remaining monitor, “Divided We,” finishes the album in a calmer, gorgeous piano-ballad taste, even if it choices up pace midway in the course of the music.
For sure, it is a must-have CD should you like several of the aforementioned acts. You’ll no longer be dissatisfied, and let’s hope Kyle will even do some excursion to exhibit his vocal abilities as a result of he has a voice you’ll by no means disregard! It doesn’t get any higher than this!
