Danny Lee Blackwell is easily at his best on these recordings and continues to be one of the most exciting songwritters and guitarists in the underground psych rock scene. While other guitars are exploring dense effects and droning new sounds Blackwell is refining his skill, timing and songwriting and skillfully utilizing effects in ways that dont mask his skill as an innovative guitarist. His songwritting continues to evolve and produce catchy and exciting music that can be heard on repeat without any ear fatigue. His smooth and off beat style is a sight to behold and Outlaw R&B is overflowing with captivating music.
