PRAISE FOR KENTUCKY GOLD
“…a thumping southern rock masterpiece that the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd and Blackberry Smoke would be proud to call their own.” Country Music People“A few critically acclaimed EPs aside, [Daniel] has waited until his late thirties to release his first fully fledged album. Absurd? Maybe. Excellent? Absolutely.” Classic Rock“Kyle Daniel unveils his major talents on Kentucky Gold …the likes of Five Horse Johnson, The Black Crowes and Robert Finley come to mind.” RnR Magazine“With incredible vocals, fantastic guitar work and a sound that harks back to classic ‘70s country rock whilst still feeling fresh and modern, you can tell it’s been a real labour of love. It’s an absolute triumph of a record” Entertainment Focus“The perfect blend of Country and Southern rock’n’roll with a whole lot o’ soul thrown in for good measure, Kentucky Gold has been a long time coming but is definitely worth the wait. Highly recommended.” Fireworks“The acid test of a record is whether the tracks’ melodies are strong enough to make you want to listen to them again. This certainly passes that test- the music here compares very favourably with, for example, a well-established group like Blackberry Smoke. Fans of Southern Rock will very much enjoy this.” Americana UK

“…these are just brilliant, diverse songs. The best debut album of its type for years.” Maximum Volume Music

About Kyle Daniel:
Firing twin barrels of classic southern rock and modern country, Kyle Daniel makes blue-collar music for rock clubs, honky-tonks and everywhere in between. At the centre
of that southern sound is a guitar hero, storyteller and songwriter who has built up his audience the old-school way – by hitting the highways year after year, playing everywhere from dive bars in Tennessee to the Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London, taking in key UK & European festivals along the way.

Kyle Daniel, a native of Bowling Green, Kentucky, began playing bars before he could legally drink. Music was in his blood; his father played banjo in a local bluegrass group, and his mother played bass and piano. Daniel followed in his parents’ footsteps by becoming a hotshot guitarist, winning the Kentucky Blues Challenge at 17 years of age and placing in the finals at the International Blues Challenge one year later.

Later, Daniel began writing songs that showcased not only his fiery fretwork but also his songwriting chops and vocals. His debut EP, Kyle Daniel, was recorded in a single day and released independently in 2018. Even without a label’s help, the self-titled record found critical acclaim, with Rolling Stone praising it for mixing “the gravely twang of Steve Earle with Chris Stapleton’s range, plus bigger hooks”. After spending several years as a sideman for other artists, Daniel has finally claimed his share of the spotlight, brewing up his own melting pot of hard-hitting American roots music.
