About dannydolinger:
From before I could see over the dashboard of my daddy's early sixties Chevy wagon, that dashboard with a light show like a KISS concert, I knew what I wanted out of life. All the unbelievable noises that came out of that rack of magical lights and dials. My first favorite song was "The Lonesome Fugitive", by Merle Haggard. "Down every road there's always one more city", yep, I saw my future pretty clear around four or five years of age. Definately anything with acoustic guitar made me jump out of my seat belt to dance on my poor daddy's dash (which, in an early sixties Chevy was as big as a gym floor). Any song that added heartache, homesickness, or wanderlust, well I still hear my daddy saying to my momma, "We gotta get better damn restraints for that young'in". Yes, it was a more innocent age when babies had a right to fly through the windshield if they so chose, but not in my daddy's car. A very strict but fair disciplinarian. When Doc Watson appeared on the airwaves, my daddy would instruct my two big brothers to sit on my chest for my own safety and the safety of everyone sharing the road. But to his credit he would admonish,"How many times do I have to tell you boys, don't sit on his head! That music's real important to him and when you sit on his head he cain't hear it. Might cause him to grow up harborin resentments and I'll not have it". Thanks Dad. Well time marched on, I got my own car, discovered Judas Priest, John Prine and Motorhead and, well, here I am today. Hope you like my music. -Danny

  • Young Daniel Grows Up and Delivers
    author: Melissa

    Danny Dolinger is a wordsmith plain and simple. And that knack has stayed with him since the early 80s when I first saw him perform at a little club in Denton, Texas. Back then he was known as Young Daniel, a young man with guitar in hand. Danny has since grown up, but his soothing voice and romantic spirit remains undaunted. From the love letter to his home state, to the kiss his ass road trip to make music, to the immortalization of Speed Racer’s monkey, you can't put Danny in a neat little box. He'll always come up for air with a performance low on frills and big on heart.

  • yipeeeeeee! what fun!
    author: ashley

    i love danny's music - especially live - and this one gets about as close to having him in the living room as i can with only a cd in hand! the song, west virginia, makes me shiver with good feelings every time i hear it - the songs are all great. we haven't taken it out of the cd changer since we opened it weeks ago! gotta love it!

  • Calling him a folksinger is like calling Carlin a joketeller
    author: The Big Mouth Kid

    Danny Dolinger is a hippy. A real one. A bonafide tree-hugging activist. He travels the world loving the planet and the people who help him travel in it, even immortalizing some of them in song. His new album contains a sweet collection of these immortalizations. But beyond that, Danny also likes to write goofy songs about goofy things(can you say Bunny Rabbit Hearts?) to make you laugh. Danny likes to make you laugh and feel good. Calling him a folksinger is like calling Carlin a joketeller... The album would make a worthy addition to anybody's collection with sure-fire rock anthems like Meat Patties From Outer Space and There's Something Rotting In My Room which addresses the lack of personal awareness, and apparently hygiene, in our world today. hint: put the cd on and give it a listen one evening when you have an hour to cuddle with your sweetie when there's nothing on tv and you want a quick giggle.

  • Danny follows up "Rome wasn't burnt..." with another fantastic CD!!
    author: Bill E Bear

    Danny Dolinger is not only a fantastic musician with both a fun and profound set of lyrics, but a traveling do-gooder extraordinaire to boot! How can one man accomplish so much and still have time for prodigious imbibing? Well, not being so skilled a time manager myself, I can’t really say how he does it, but only that he does it. I have been listening to his last album “Rome wasn’t burnt in a day” for a bunch of years now without ever tiring of it and I expect the same to be the case with “Significant Gains”. Danny once again mixes serious soul mincing songs like “Crizel” and “Paint a picture for me” with the incredibly fun flashback of “Racer X” and the worrying “There’s something rotting in my room”. All in all it is another fun and moving album by Danny and well worth the purchase price. Thanks Danny!

  • You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll be astounded
    author: Sienna

    Danny's songs hit home with everyone, with bad-ass guitar and vocals to back it up. This production is way pro, with many of his latest songs in one place. The artistry of this CD is fantastic, from the performance to recording to the album cover. "Significant Gains" goes from the hills of Virginia, to the roads of Texas, describing the world in a unique way. Who else could mix love songs and tragic songs with cartoon charectors, frozen biological parts, and mandolins...all in one CD? Really. Buy the CD.
