A TRUE COUNTRY FAN

ANGEL STEEL

Having heard Danni on the Oprey I took a chance and bought the disc. The lady whose hat never lets you look straight into her face gets right into your own face with the kind of knock-your-socks-off, twangy, gutsy delivery which has been the heartbeat of true country music for the past 50 years. This is Wanda Jackson and Becky Hobbs rolled into one great package. If Danni can just break through the moritorium on playing real country on today's so-called country stations there's enough great material here for several chart toppers. Of the 11 tracks it seems the weakest offering is Willie Nelson's "Touch Me". Consider for a moment what that says about this disc...

If you only buy one country cd this year, buy this one. There isn't a weak track on it. The music and the vocals are superb.

Those eager to pigeonhole Leigh have called her "the female Dwight Yoakam," but that's not entirely accurate. Yes, she wears a cowboy hat and has a passion for classic country, but that's where the comparisons end. Her debut is no Dwight lite--Leigh has her own take on traditional country, and it's her voice that makes it stand out. She's got a gutsy delivery and a slightly lower range than most female artists, and it works best on uptempo honky-tonk numberslike "If the Jukebox Took Teardrops," "Beatin' My Head Against the Wall" and a Merle Haggard/Tommy Collins song, "Mixed Up Mess Of A Heart." Other highlights include "Weren't You The One", "29 Nights" (a nice tender ballad) and many others.

Leigh's performances on the shuffling "I Feel A Heartache" and the 1962 Willie Nelson hit "Touch Me" are so uncannily authentic they wouldn't sound out of place if they were transported back to 1957 and spun after Patsy Cline's latest single. Leigh is also a fine songwriter, co-writing seven of the 11 tracks here. Fans who prefer their country music straight up with no pop overtones will enjoy 29 NIGHTS, an assured debut that hints at even better things to come from a singer with a unique artistic vision.

This is one of the most exciting albums by a country singer ever. I just wish she would do another one!

Danni Leigh is a country singer. She makes country music for the fans. There is no one else like her. 29 Nights is jam-packed with lots of steel guitar, hot fiddle and Danni's sultry voice.

It kicks off with "If the Jukebox Took Teardrops", about the ideal world for the heartbroken (with a couple of Bob Wills-like 'a-ha's). Then there's the toe-tappin' "Beatin' My Head Against the Wall", about over-analyzing a breakup; the super sultry "Touch Me"; the desperation of "Chain Me"; and the racy "Weren't You the One". Add the Texas-swinger "I Feel a Heartache" and you've got one of the best collections of country music EVER.

Wooooooowwwwwoooo baby! This is THE REAL THING. A must have!

Danni Leigh's debut album 29 Nights is a true treat for the true country fan. She is described as the female Dwight Yoakam. Her debut album, 29 Nights, gives a glimpse of Leigh's vocal talent, while re-emphasizing her ability to pen a song about real feelings and intimate struggles. This album is just one example of Leigh's ability as a vocalist to inject just enough feeling and heart without overpowering the beautifully simplistic message of her song. As a sample of what Danni Leigh has to offer, here is a cd that won't disappoint, no matter what your mood. My favorite songs on here include the ballad 29 Nights, and the closing track Weren't You The One, although all the tracks are excellent. This is worth a listen, and its truly sad that country radio will not play this very talented young lady.

Danni leigh shows what country is all about. She is a excellent singer.And I would encourage anyone to buy this cd.

Besides being very talented vocally, the production, choice of material and recording were really high in my opinion. If someone were to introduce a person to what country music is really like, this would be the place to start. Anyone seen her live? Does she carry this energy on stage with her?? Won't be disappointed with this CD.
