Danny & Dusty "Here's to You Max Morlock" 2007 - Live in Nürnberg

Danny & Dusty are Steve Wynn and Dan Stuart, together with musicians from their musical environment. The story goes back to 1985, when the then very popular bands from the Paisley Underground "The Dream Syndicate", "Green on Red" and "The Long Ryders" came up with the idea of forming a kind of pub band on a whim, which looks very rural. Shortly afterwards the project “Danny & Dusty” was created, also featuring Chris Cacavas, Dennis Duck and Sid Griffin. The record was titled "Lost Weekend" and was completely relaxed country rock of the absolutely laid-back kind. Steve Wynn and Dan Stuart wrote the songs together and both sang. "Lost Weekend" is still considered the initial spark of the Americana and No Depression movements, which even influenced bands like "Uncle Tupelo". After that, everyone involved went their separate ways and their bands all gradually broke up. Steve Wynn, Sid Griffin and Chris Cacavas started their own solo careers, and Dan Stuart tried out a solo record and a project with Al Perry & The Cattle...
...On April 19th of this year the men performed in Nuremberg (at the K4) and a “package” with two CDs and a DVD is now available (Blue Rose / Hoanzl). It's more than easy to succumb to the truly timeless charms of songs like "Miracle mile", "The king of the losers" and especially "Bend in the road" in such a good-humoured concert situation. Groovy, stomping rock numbers like "Raise the roof" (Chris Cacavas switched to the electric guitar at short notice), "Cast iron soul", "Hold your mud" and "JD's Blues" created a sizzling atmosphere in the audience.
Stuart, who is always in the mood for jokes and always walks the fine line between flippantness, mannerisms and mocking behavior, plays the extroverted showman alongside the more reserved Wynn, while Stephen McCarthy impresses with his profound musicality on lap steel and electric guitar, whereby he... his tasteful solos are sometimes reminiscent of his colleague Gary Louris, Chris Cacavas acts as usual in a band-serving and sophisticated manner, Bob Rupe impresses with the role that is almost predestined for a bass player as a cool and accomplished rock in the surf and Johnny Hott also as a physical worker with steam-hammer ambitions. - Paul Jezek - Google translation
