\"Image\"I had the opportunity to listen to one of the latest discs to come out of Jack Saunders\u2019 White Cat Studios, Acoustic Souvenir by Danny Everitt. Everitt grew up in Houston and put out several LP\u2019s in the 70\u2019s, and worked with Eric Burden and the Animals writing or co-writing three numbers from their album, \u201cArk\u201d.<\/p>\n

He spent several years in Nashville as a staff songwriter and won the Best New Folk award at Kerrville early in his career. Danny has been out of the music spotlight, although he has a number of harmony vocal credits, for a number of years with his main attention being his marriage and family. He issued his first full length solo LP in decades in 2007 with \u201cCold Wind, Cold Rain\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cAcoustic Souvenirs\u201d is Danny\u2019s latest effort and it has Jack Saunders\u2019 fingerprints all over it. The songs are straight ahead Texas Folk with that down home drawl and touch of blues. All of the acoustic work, be it guitar solo or slide resonator or harmonica flourishes, were tastefully applied and executed with a craftsman\u2019s skill. There is one Marty Robbins cover, \u201cDevil Woman\u201d on the disc that shows off Everitt\u2019s vocal prowess.<\/p>\n

The rest of the songs were either written or co-written by Danny. They tell the story of a man that has met the challenges of life and come to terms with them. Songs like \u201cOld Man on the Pier\u201d and \u201cThe Ballad of Aubrey Call\u201d recall characters that Danny has met over the years.<\/p>\n

Songs like \u201cSunset Highway\u201d and \u201cNothing But Everything\u201d recount the ups and downs of being in a marriage or relationship for better or worse. \u201cWe Can\u2019t Stop Now\u201d takes the relationship to the next level, when the added responsibility of a child changes the complexion of life.<\/p>\n

\u201cDimes Worth\u201d and \u201cI\u2019ve Got Nothing\u201d are classic Texas country-folk-blues tunes in the finest tradition. Danny Everitt will be taking the new CD out for a release party at the Old Quarter in Galveston on June 7th and will be playing a Sunday gig at the Mucky Duck on July 14th. Let\u2019s get out and give his new recording a warm welcome.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
