He is from another planet, sonically... And his rig is incredibly simple, all in the hands and heart...

[@donrenato]

I Love listening to Brian and Daniel playing together. Especially when Daniel plays lap steel guitar. They have a hook-up that reminds me of Elvin Jones and John Coltrane. Not timbrally, but chemistry - wise. It's very deep.

[@fullmoon7192]

*+Renato Wardle* You've hit the proverbial nail right on the head dude. That's exactly what these two are doing whenever they get together. *Chemistry* is the key word time and time again... ♫♫ ♥❀(~‿~)❀♥ ♫♫

[@susannahburley6907]

I just saw them at the New Orleans Jazz Fest yesterday. It was a religious experience.

[@wizardpb]

Skill, dedication, supreme mastery - and a heart too big for this world. We are blessed to witness such genius...

[@jamesfransen8585]

I could listen to this on repeat all day.

[@Autumn_Forest_]

This sound is just so incredible to hear, and it’s such a treat to watch how it’s being produced by these uber-talented musicians.

[@30mouse]

Otherworldly..... truly original and such pure feel...

[@olsoncircus]

...from a different world. What difference does it make what anyone is playing or how they look? Close your eyes and REALLY listen. Daniel (and all others) have such an amazing ear and incredible musical /technical ability that it beholds great beauty...

[@susanlavoie5422]

And the man does it again. Brilliant. Beautiful.

[@rorylowdon5918]

Just out of memories of Daniels early work i thought i'd see what he's doing at the mo. Not dissappointed, just amazing dream like stuff. What musicality!

[@illsmosisyou1993]

Check out his Tiny Desk concert if you haven't already. It's one of my favorites.

[@iraphaelk5786]

Wow............Wow............................WOW

[@jeffmacpherson4283]

One of the most beautiful pieces. Love them both.

[@UncleGroOve]

OMG Speechless Daniel is in touch with some supernatural entity

[@patrickcoughlin3564]

[@zenmeister451]

Beautiful!

[@Hpcrazy]

Wonderful - and so peaceful :-)

[@hodshonf]

Saw him a while ago here in Seattle at the Crocodile. Goodbye to Language i think. As close to a church spiritual as i'll ever get.

[@supermash1]

I saw him in Victoria BC in an old Cathedral. He played some of his big hits but also a number of new experimental pieces. It was a great show, I'd go out of my way to see him again.

[@PasqualeMatrone2011]

Sublime.

[@bruceh92]

Every piece is a masterpiece.

[@mackdrakfop]

Thanks.

[@djlazypaul]

sounds like something I'd hear if I crash landed my rocket on the moon and then decided to have a couple beers at a country bar while waiting for a tow truck.

[@jude999]

Interesting how steel guitar has been synonymous with space travel. Goes back to the early days of space travel when Texas astronauts played country music on their missions and continues up through Eno's Apollo.

[@The_Lincoln_Penny]

Only a “Lunar-tic” could think of something like that 🤠🤠

[@notyrmom5698]

Most accurate review I've ever heard. You should write.

[@kfcbass]

Incredible beauty, so deep, love it

Fabulous

[@mussolinishead9916]

Peace!

[@DavideChiarello]

It's a shame I can put just one thumb up

[@back2naturebxl13]

with the aid of two great players, drummer Brian Blade and bassist Jim Wilson

[@sinexjohnson8885]

Wonderful.

[@mahjer]

EPIC

[@theosomeca1510]

Parce que j❤... Merci j'ai été teleporté ailleurs pendant quelques minutes. ...

[@stevensmith6019]

I REALLY wish I could do that.

[@lukekinney9206]

fucking awesome

[@kanisto2110]

shot of love again?!

[@notyrmom5698]

Aren't we fortunate?

[@scottmcdonald9685]

What do the pedals do that the guy is pushing?

[@robd2650]

The guy is triggering the bass, the low deep undertones. You can kind of listen & see what sounds you hear when he presses them. Those would normally be played with feet, it's quite an unusual application. Things sound very nice though.

[@Zhevros]

It's a Moog Taurus synthesizer.

[@intervalkid]

What's the name of the drummer?

[@antoniofongaro6833]

Brian Blade

[@notyrmom5698]

And he's extraordinary. Be sure to check him out

[@leardrum1137]

Bono stole all of his charity’s money

[@rickibenton8851]

Really. I need to know more about this.

[@captop12]

I had no idea David Cross played the steel guitar, let alone how beautifully.

[@TheMrWolfos]

what pedals is daniel using omg

[@shanefelkel9966]

Interesting that steel guitar, violin -er "fiddle" - and banjo are all incorporated within country music but only used as brief excerpts in country songs. Country has really gotten away from its roots and has become boring pop and rock spin-off facades. Also funny how any black artist is automatically labelled R&B, and any white musician that sings with a southern accent is labelled country. R&B is the furthest genre from modern black music and I've already stated what modern country is: a Chevy commercial during Super Bowl Sunday, which is in itself another hoorah about nothing.
