Sounds Like: REVIEW FROM ROOTSTIME MAGAZINE, BELGUIM..... "He took his inspiration from some of the great names in the music world like Lowell George, The Band, Captain Beefheart, Stevie Ray Vaughan and the Beatles and Stones.Dan McCann was in a past life the bass player in “Evan Johns and The H Bombs”. The songs on "Street Songs" are contemporary pop and rock songs with heavy guitar and a rocking sound that reminds us of Steve Miller Band, Tom Petty, Todd Rundgren and even Jimi Hendrix.The song "Voodoo Hut" comes very close to the electronic sound of Steve Miller Band and the instrumental "The Guitar Man" is filled with electric guitar riffs à la Jimi Hendrix or Jeff Beck.Dan McCann has developed his own sound for the songs on this CD. Occasionally the sound is very experimental, as in "Tujunga Sister. In "Smokie Roman" we recognize the vocals and bluesy guitar work of Stevie Ray Vaughan. The swing rocker "Santa's Surfboard" is another instrumental with the guitar in the style of Duane Eddy, or even 'The Shadows'."Gerald's Jump" , another instrumental song is real blues, where the greasy guitar licks give the song an atmospheric sound.....ROOTSTIME c/o Wanted Productions Freddy Celis Gen. de Wittestraat 11 3545 Halen Belgiumwww.rootstime.be www.myspace.com/rootstime " .....
