His style is more southern gospel and he certainly knows how to sing that pure, southern gospel style! Danny regales folks with one old familiar standard after another and then he gives a twist by introducing original compositions that range from his normal styling to contemporary settings. Audiences everywhere love Danny from the moment they lay eyes on him - he's just one of those kinds of people! His endearing personality combined with his zeal and passion for the gospel makes his music and concerts a memorable time of fellowship in the gospel.
"You Raise Me Up" is the best release we've heard from Danny Riddle and Somebody Productions. With a total of 15 tracks, he covers the gamut of style from light contemporary to his very own special Pure Southern music. There are traditional old hymns along with brand new songs penned by Danny (Big Shot, Crying Out To Me, Seasons Of Friendship, I'm Going Up, and If Jesus Comes Tonight) and friends of Danny, and it is mixed with popular favorites like the title song. He even dared to do an a cappella number (I Wouldn't Miss It) and pulled it off QUITE well!
Vocally this is Danny's finest. His voice has matured and smoothed over the years - and the confidence he has gained in his talent shows. This project also reflects the best choice of variety we've heard from Danny. It's great to see him stretch himself for different styles of music - but he's also one that knows his niche is in Southern Gospel and he makes sure that we are treated to a healthy dose of that throughout.
This is a project to add to your collection.
"You Raise Me Up" was recorded at: Somebody Productions, Up and Cummings Studio and at PCM Studios North And South.
