About Danny Whitecotton

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Learning the piano with my grandma. I didn't know until I got older how much she enjoyed writing music. She even went to Nashville and had a couple demos made. My other is being told to practice piano and like many kids I wouldn't. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Bright Eyes, I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning Jason Isbell, Southeastern Wilco, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot I listen to Southeastern when I need to know how a song should be written. I listen to YHF when I need inspiration with my musical arrangements. I listen to I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning when I need to get out of a lyrical rut. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “No God in Mexico” I love the story and the way that it will make people stop and listen when it is played. It was written when I was finding a new direction in life and when I first started reading Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian. I also love a good murder ballad.
