About the collaboration, Daniel says, “What a powerhouse vocalist to have on such a meaningful song! Rhiannon was the icing on the cake to really take this one into a whole different universe. I love how much soul she has and how much raw rock ‘n’ roll she brings to the track!”

Hill adds, “As soon as I heard the track, I loved it. It’s the perfect mix of southern rock and country, whilst still being modern and fresh. I’m thrilled to be a part of it!”

Following triumphant appearances at The Long Road Festival last summer, Daniel, a rising star in country and southern rock, will be returning to the UK next month to play at London’s C2C Festival, which takes place at The O2 Arena on Friday 14^th – Sunday 16^th March.

Produced by industry veterans, including Jaren Johnston of The Cadillac Three, Brian Elmquist of The Lone Bellow and multi-instrumentalist Mike Krompass, ‘Kentucky Gold‘ is a powerhouse collection of tracks, all co-written by Kyle, that resonate with authenticity and passion, showcasing his distinctive vocals and electrifying guitar work.

With influences including The Allman Brothers Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd, Daniel’s music pays homage to the rich tradition of Southern rock whilst carving out a fresh, modern sound. His ability to fuse classic rock elements with contemporary country sensibilities has garnered praise from critics and fans alike.

This new chapter represents a journey through the heart of Southern rock and country. From playing dive bars in Tennessee through to the Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London, Daniel has honed his craft, hitting the highways year after year.

About Kyle Daniel
Firing twin barrels of classic southern rock and modern country, Kyle Daniel makes blue-collar music for rock clubs, honky-tonks and everywhere in between. At the centre of that southern sound is a guitar hero, storyteller and songwriter who has built up his audience the old-school way, by hitting the highways year after year, playing everywhere from dive bars in Tennessee to the Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London, taking in key UK & European festivals along the way.

Kyle, a native of Bowling Green, Kentucky, began playing bars before he could legally drink. Music was in his blood; his father played banjo in a local bluegrass group, and his mother played bass and piano. He followed in his parents’ footsteps by becoming a hotshot guitarist, winning the Kentucky Blues Challenge at 17 years old and placing in the finals at the International Blues Challenge one year on.

Later, Kyle began writing songs that showcased not only his fiery fretwork but also his song-writing chops and vocals. His debut EP, ‘Kyle Daniel‘, was recorded in a single day and released independently in 2018. Even without a label’s help, the self-titled record found critical acclaim, with Rolling Stone praising it for mixing “the gravely twang of Steve Earle with Chris Stapleton’s range, plus bigger hooks”. After spending several years as a sideman for other artists, Kyle was finally claiming his share of the spotlight, brewing up his own melting pot of hard-hitting American roots music.
