The promised delivered....

I am a fan of two of Rock's most under rated but stellar guitarists: Moby Grape's Jerry Miller and Rhinoceros' Danny Weis. I first heard Danny while he was a member of one of my all time fave Rock bands, Rhinoceros. I saw him at the Fillmore East in 1969 with Rhinoceros and I have been a fan ever since. I had just bought the lp back in '69 when I saw they were booked at the Fillmore and I high-tailed it down to the box office to get my ticket. Danny is a funky, smooth and lyrical guitarist. You could hum his solos and I often do. As a guitarist myself I am very much a fan of his lean but substantial style. "Sweet Spot" is not so much in the "direct in your face" style of Rhinoceros but those roots show through in his playing. His tonality is very much the same as it was back then but it has blossomed quite a bit...although fans of Rhinoceros will remember his jazz forays with "Satin Dolls" and his formidable 'chicken pickin'" with "SugarFoot Rag".
I have waited a long time for follow up from all of the former members of Rhinoceros. After all they are on my top Five List of the Greatest Rock Bands Ever....and I mean that....

I work @ Tom Anderson Guitarworks. Danny plays our guitars and I'm proud that he is. I started playing drums to Iron Butterfly albums in 1968. I've been playing guitar on our church worship team and Danny has inspired me again. Thanks.

I remember Danny Weis from Rhinoceros days and have always admired his guitar playing. This recording shows he has continued to develop significantly as a musician and is comfortable with a wide variety of styles. Impressive recording, I like it!
