"Fun and upbeat, yet melodic and relaxed - this album will make you
feel like you've been touring from city to city, night after night,
playing shows for enthusiastic crowds of unknown people from far away
places." Great Indie Music
"No wonder that his fans recommend him, because of all Dan Coyle has to offer with his music. His voice clear, full of feeling, and truly takes up the mood of his songs; sometimes melancholic as in "Something's changed", sometimes in the style of the French laissez-faire as in "C'est la vie". His development, since he started touring in 2008, was heard at the concert well. With his new album "From Prague To Paris", Coyle syncs voice and guitar perfectly, so that these two elements of his music support each other completely. The music is subtle, sophisticated and harmonious, even in such disharmony with strategically placed "Pelito Menagerie". The audience received Coyle extremely well, with vibrant applause after each song." Von Rahayu Soegiono, MAIN-SPITZE
"If
the title for Daniel Coyle's new album "From Prague to Paris" sounds
like an ode to travel, well, it is. Coyle wrote the album while on a
year-long tour of Europe, and the theme of movement permeates throughout
each of these ten songs. Tracks like "These Times," "C'est La Vie," and
"The Day" have the airy assonance of a carefree rover, and Coyle's
earnest lyrics only add to the charm. This recording is often imbued
with a cheerful musicality, but Coyle impressed this listener most with
the quick picking and strumming of "Pelito Menagerie" - a moodily
evocative piece with appropriately picturesque lyrics. Even for a genre
that is frequently being remade, "From Prague to Paris" is a refreshing
folk album, with Coyle modernizing the familiar theme of being on the
road with his energetic talent." Jessica Kulick, Of Revolt
"His fragile vocal style combines beautifully with some outstanding
guitar picking and strumming and he shows great versatility in his
songwriting from the light, airy Listen Closely Now to the heartfelt
emotion of I Adore You. His album, You Linger Your Little Hour And Are
Gone, is excellent."

"One of the best nights of music that we have seen in a long time. Great show, excellent performer." Prinz Willy, Kiel Germany
| "Dan sought to take his fresh songs and give them an old feel. The answer
that he came up with was to record this album completely acoustic and
live. In front of a very enthusiastic audience, Dan recorded his latest
album while putting on a phenomenal show; the album itself really tells the story." Scrumpy's Music Magazine, UK
| "Folksinger Dan Coyle's new album "You Linger Your Little Hour And Are
Gone" is a collection of refreshing fluid vocal sounds accompanied by
soft syncopated acoustic guitar rhythms. Coyle's proof of talent is
marked by very tastefully written lyrics in each song. Overall I find
this album very mellow, poetic, and joyous album." Nina Ȑogȕe Ȑoșș ™
"Bright musicality and sunny inflections almost hide the thoughtful and
thought-provoking lyrics that are woven throughout this album. A lo-fi
live recording that's simple without being simplistic, and utterly
charming." Alexandra McKay, Prince St. Press
"Coyle fits nicely between folk insight and a clever musicality that
avoided minor chords where you'd ordinarily expect them, like when he
covered Simon & Garfunkel's "Homeward Bound." Perhaps this added to
his overall upbeat demeanor and charm. Coyle was pleasant and genuinely
shy, but came out strong with the start of each new song. I liked him." Rochester City Newspaper
| | "When you listen to the recent work of Chicago-based
singer/songwriter Dan Coyle, you get the feeling he’s got a knack for
spotting the silver lining in whatever gray cloud life puts over his
head."
Blake Hannon, News Press Now | | "A new voice has emerged on the Chicago music scene that is
refreshingly original yet uniquely familiar. Not copyright infringement
familiar more like comfy couch familiar. Dan Coyle delivers a clean
melodic sound reminiscent of Simon and Garfunkel but with a decidedly
contemporary feel. Coyle, singer/songwriter/guitar wielding vocalist
showcases his vocal abilities with original songs that draw you into
his world and you're happy he did. He deftly works his guitar to expose
the finer points of interest in his songs and often times surprises us
with string drenching riffs. Alternately powerful and thoughtful, his
lyrics describe an artist whose passion for his music is clearly
evident a creative soul who can think of little else but making music
for his fans. Good news for his fans." Red Onion News | "As soon as
the opening notes began, a smile erupted on my face as I listened to
this wonderful love song. The number one thing I look for in a song is
Emotion, and this artist has gobs and gobs of it." Controldelta (Canada)
| "I caught a couple of Dan Coyle’s performances at the Elbo Room - his initial performance and a second one months
later. Clearly, his music is catching on as the crowd at the second
show swelled both in numbers and enthusiasm. His first performance was
raw yet still engaging. No sense discussing the first show because his
second effort is really worth the print. Though somewhat skeptical, the
crowd was quickly won over after their first song, “Break Me Into
Pieces”, which first lulled you into a quite comfort and then roused you
with the adeptly played guitar riff. You knew immediately you were in
for a treat. Throughout the course of the set, Coyle displayed a
skillful, well composed style of crowd-friendly rock that captivated the
audience through his final and recently released new song, “Goodbye”.
Accompanied by Tim McCormick who played the African drums and tambourine
(quite cleverly), Coyle led us through a musical journey that left you
wondering why it ended so soon." Red Onion News | "If
you missed Chicago singer-songwriter Dan Coyle at the Mock Crest Tavern
Wednesday night you should be ashamed! The very original lyricist
covered the best of his material in a two hour set that kept you on the
edge of your seat. The crowd didn't give Coyle the respect he deserved,
as his vocal and guitar capabilities far exceeded expectations. If he
comes around again (let's hope) his show is a MUST. Kudos to him and his
hard work. Rock on!"Portland City Source

"His
technique makes it sound like more than just the guitar. Grabs the
listener right away. Lead male vocal sings with an ease that is
soothing, almost reminiscent of Jason Mraz. Nice vocal tone. Poignant
lyrics such as: 'your hand touches mine without any explanation, your
world collides with mine without any complications'." Perocon (Maine)
| | "Dan Coyle is a nationally touring musician…, something changed inside
of me as I watched Dan’s candid video, and then listened to his honest
and sincere responses to my questions – his passion and inspiring story
blew me away." Goldilocks, Goldilocks Blog | | "Like your style! You have an original tone in your voice, stick with that, be original! Good stuff!" Sleeptalks, London UK | "...Dan
Coyle has accomplished what many musicians before him have not - a
musical style all his own. Thoughtful lyrics and spell binding guitar
combine for a unique sound that is refreshing to hear. His CD titled
“Random Thoughts and Incomplete Sentences" is a beautiful collection of
his recent work..." Red Onion News | | "Great lyrics, meaningful and heartfelt...Pretty unique sound." Garageband.com |
