**Reviews:**
"Danny Infantino and Stephen Smith have a big hit with their CD “Say the Word… Sing the Song.” Stephen’s words imbued with Danny’s music. What a team! It’s no wonder they were the winners of the New Folk Songwritting Compettition in Kerrville, Texas in 1997. These guys will have you laughing your head off in one piece and rip your heart out with the next. Repeatedly. Just when you think you’ve recovered from the 1-2 combo of “Bomb Dream,” a fantasy of adolescent love, and “Starting Over,” a haunting piece a with a you can’t go home again theme, they do it again with “Senior Talent Night” and Sherry”." - David Carpenter, from PineStraw Magazine.
Praise for Danny Infantino and his album Songs Without Words: "Danny's debut CD is a delightful platter serving up lovely arrangements played with sensitivity, soul, and a big beautiful sound." -Howard Morgan, jazz guitarist and Fingerstyle Magazine columnist.
The recorded sound is very vivid and present (somewhat close and larger-than-life, but tonally sumptuous), and the playing is soulful. Danny has scads of technique but keeps it from calling attention of itself. He is a true poet in that his utterances are essentially vocal. He always respects the integrity of the vocal line and always conveys the meaning of the words. No flash, no noodlin'. Just music. -John Marks, from "Heard in These Parts" at PlanetHiFi.com
