With perhaps, the most amazing left hand vibrato that rock and blues music has known, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member Danny Kirwan combined tasteful licks and tone from a solid bone core. Every single note emanated from Danny's very soul.
His passionate voice and writings seemed to extend Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac and their abilities to push the blues rock boundries.
