"Built For Comfort sees Texan-born Haynes leading a band of Northern Territory(Australia) locals in a warm and tasteful selection of country and blues flavoured soul.
Haynes takes keyboard duties and sings with a jazzy, glowing croon. He builds the album around two Willie Dixon numbers-the title track 'Built For Comfort' and 'Good Understanding'- both lively workouts showcasing some of Haynes' boogie-woogie piano."
"...'Livin' In The Country' is melodically engaging, and Haynes' keyboard playing is great.."
"...the jazzy soul of 'When The Light Goes Out'..is too cool."

Bio
This is real music played by real musicians from Dallas to Alice! After being a working musician on the road for 25 years based in Dallas, Texas, Dan and his family moved to Alice Springs in Central Australia (where they would later become permanent residents). Dan didn't anticipate having many opportunities to play music in the outback, so he looked forward to relaxing a bit and taking some time to enjoy the natural beauty that would surround him. Once he arrived in Australia, he quickly discovered this would not be the case! He found the musicians in Alice Springs to be very accomplished and keen to play the kind of music he wrote and loved to perform. This resulted in an instant kinship bonded by the universal language and love of music. After years of playing together in the pubs of heartland Australia, Danny and the band have released Built for Comfort. Danny became an Australian citizen on Australia Day, 2011.
