Oh Me Oh My Shows Danny Django in Pure, Instinctive Songwriting Mode

Hailing from Colorado, Danny Django is an indie rock artist with six albums under his belt. A passionate storyteller and authentic songwriter, Danny's debut record was 2005's Cosmic Wheel. Fast forward twenty-one years, and you'll arrive at The Peach Orchard Field, a sprawling twenty-one-track album released just the other day. 

Now, while I'd strongly suggest giving the entire record your time, today I'd like to hone in on song two, Oh Me Oh My. Let's dive in, shall we?

A little raw, a little gritty, Oh Me Oh My has a lived-in weariness to it. Described by its creator as "probably the best song from the album," it's a tune that finds sonic inspiration in musicians like Jack White, The Edge, and Tom Petty. Written and recorded in just two days, I get the feeling it's a track that captures exactly who Danny Django is as an artist; instinctual, honest, and unvarnished.

Reflecting on the song's background, Danny mentions that Oh Me Oh My was born from a personal tragedy. "I had just come back from my brother-in-law's funeral," he says. "The entire song encapsulated the pain and confusion of that day."

As genuine and pure as any tune you're likely to come across, Oh My Oh My is, essentially, what rock music is all about. Genius stuff!
