Dann is a huge influence as a singer, guitar player, songwriter and producer. Always playing and performing stellar parts. I’m working on my debut album and there will be a tip of the hat on it for Dann and Giant.
Dann and Gordon Kennedy are two of my biggest guitar influences. Listen to the track Tearing Down the Wall on Michael W Smith's Big Picture album for the "I quit playing guitar" moments and then take two hours of your life with the i 2 (EYE) and Amy Grant's Lead Me On Album back to back . Both made in the same year, at some of the same studios. Dan OWN'S those albums - he helped make them some of THE best CCM albums of the late 80's. Brown Bannister and MWS called Dann to do that over and over again...
What a fantastic interview. I am a huge fan of Dann and the more I hear him talk, the more respect I have for him as a person. What a great outlook and approach he has to what he does. Thank you for this!
Chris: What a treasure of a podcast. It gave me a short list of things to go back and listen to, in order to stay inspired as a retired, stay at home, amateur guitar player. This one had some real chemistry. Ironically, something you guys talked about quite a bit. I always love an opportunity to be allowed to look behind the curtain in Nashville. Thanks! Gotta go. I see that Tom Bucovac just put up a Homeschooling episode, haha, thanks again.
John, producer Daena here! Thank you so much for listening and for the kind words! It's always an awesome thing to watch Chris talk with a guest that he's known for a long time, especially with a legend like Dann. Thank you again and will pass this along to Chris.
It is a mistake to refer to Dan Huff as " one of the most underrated guitar players" - he's great talents are just not known unless you dig deep into guitar playing culture.. However, to dig less it would be beneficial if he released a new solo album..maybe just for the sake of art. We are waiting for one , Dan... Those dinosaur players scouring youtube for any shred of his playing are lying in wait to jump at the chance to spread the word of his amazing melodic chops to the younger players. Some of his guitar breaks are among the most memorable , tuneful and singable moments in music ever! Real ear worms..

Gordon's another legend for sure!! Thanks for tuning in, Michael!
I couldn’t agree more!!! This is spot on!!
Got into Tim Pierce and Steve Lukather over the last couple months, now diving deeper. This is really great stuff!
So glad you enjoyed it, Andrew!!
The first White Heart album introduced me to Dann. Awesome, awesome guitar player.
Love it!! He is truly awesome indeed.
What a fantastic interview. I am a huge fan of Dann and the more I hear him talk, the more respect I have for him as a person. What a great outlook and approach he has to what he does. Thank you for this!
Dann is one of the good ones for sure!! Thank you so much for listening, Chris!
Dan's country style guitar playing on the Reba McIntyre records is legendary.
Nice interview! Dann Huff is a brilliant musician!!!
Agreed 100%! Thanks so much for tuning in, William!!
Great interview. Thanks from Sweden! 🙋🏻♂️
Awesome!! Thanks so much for tuning in!
I have been a Dann Huff fan since the debut of Giant- Last of the Runaways! Plus, we have the same last name!
Love that so much! True fan right here!
Great interview. Dann is an amazing guitarist. One of the best!
So true! Thanks so much for listening!
Fantastic conversation. Listened to the whole thing.
Every player and guitar teacher I know - consider D. Huff to be
an absolute beast of a player.
He is one of the best, truly!!
White Heart, Giant, etc this guy is a beast. And I'm a freaking keyboardist

Great episode! Been a fan of Dan's for a long time. Thanks for this 😁
Thank you so much for listening, David! Dann is the best.
Screw country (even though I love it) this guy is one of the best sessions guitarists from the 80s aside from Landau and Lukather
There are a lot of practical points that can be applied to any business situation. Excellent video.
Thank you so much, Brent!!
I loved this interview! Great questions and content ! Thank you both !
Thank YOU for watching, Ted! So glad you enjoyed.
Awesome, this makes me time to burn😎

True - 99% of people have probably heard Dann's guitar playing without even knowing it!! Thanks for listening 😁
