'Following in the Spirit of Bob Marley'~ Marley archivist Roger Steffens 'Characterizing Daniels' work is a resonant (and sometimes thunderous) articulation of thoughtful prose spiced with the bone-dry wit of scathing commentary. He dreams up inventive figures, drawn straight from American life, to not only hold up a mirror image of society's base nature, but to artfully put that mirror image right in the audience's face. '~ Dwight Hobbes Insight News 'The most complex reggae is a seamless combination of both sunsplashed dancehall groove, and powerful messages of political dissent. Most reggae musicians are steeped in that duality. For them, reggae is a rhythm and a way of life, both religion and release, and, for David Daniels at least, a form of avant-garde theatre. Daniels borrows the best of reggae's earthy, political tradition and uses it as a vehicle for his shake 'em, wake 'em, bake 'em spoken word theatrics'~ First Avenue |
