Since Danni Leigh's brand of retro honky-tonk with rock attitude has so frequently earned her comparisons with Dwight Yoakam, her collaboration here with Yoakam's producer-bandleader Pete Anderson would seem to be a natural fit. Yet the results sound less like a musical progression than a stylistic smorgasbord. With the 10 tracks failing to establish a coherent identity, she bounces from hillbilly hardcore ("He Used to Say That to Me") to torch balladry ("My Last Chance Is Gone") to rock anthemry ("Somebody Oughta Do Something") to troubadour folk ("Far Cry from Here") to collegiate pop ("Don't Feel Like Crying"). A couple of cuts even sneak in a bit of reggae guitar. Leigh cowrote two of the better songs on the album, while taking three from the songbook of Jim Lauderdale. Though the photos on the CD package exude plenty of star aura, the grooves would benefit from more unified artistic substance. --Don McLeese

Female Dwight Yoakum Does It Again.......2003-10-15
MISS DANNI LEIGH HAS CONQUER COUNTRY MUSIC.......2002-10-19
voice is very excellent and she holds her own in country music
From If The Jukebox took tear drop to her newest cd Divide and Conquer,she has made excellent progress in her songs and I think
in the future she will bring out more great songs in the near future.For an female country artist,overall,Miss Danni made some
very excellent progress in her career as a singer,musician,and
her performance is rated very highly.

Danni Leigh is one of the most talented (and underrated) singers in Nashville. I have been a HUGE fan for a LONG time. Her voice is so gritty and real, but I have to admit she is sometimes drowned out by the abundant steel guitar on this CD.
The CD kicks off with "He Used to Say That to Me", a warning to the 'new woman' about a man whose intentions are less than true. The upbeat "Somebody Ought to Do Somethin" features some organ woven throughout and Danni adds a twist by using her own name in the song. "A Far Cry From Here" is a great folk song, reminiscent of vintage Joni Mitchell. "Don't Feel Like Cryin'" is probably the most 'radio friendly' song on the CD, some funky mandolin peps it up and it is very upbeat and catchy - Leigh sings 'hey here comes that rainy day again, but hey look at me, don't feel like cryin'.
My personal favorite song is "House of Pain" - it is about a love gone wrong and the lonliness that haunts one of the lovers. The title track of the CD features some really hot guitar and Leigh's voice is velvety. "Last Train to San Antone" is a great 'getting away to Texas' song, a lot like Jill Jack's "Austin". Divide and Conquer is another awesome CD by Danni Leigh - pick it up if you want to hear some real tear-in-your-beer country!!

I get it, he plays fast.......2003-10-21
Heard it all before, and a long time ago........2003-03-24
I also think the somgs and the melodies are a little outdated. But if you haven't heard many shred guitarists (especially from the eighties) and are not interested in commercial songs, then this CD will probably appeal to you.
An awesome release and the best yet from Reign of Terror.......2003-02-09
If you enjoy power metal, you'll most likely find this to be a great purchase. If you need some similarities, Dio-era Rainbow mixed with perhaps a touch of earlier Blackmore-era Deep Purple might come closest. I don't say that to make anyone think this is a '70's-style disc - it's definitely got a modern sheen to it. Maybe take some of the best offerings in progressive and power metal and mix in some Blackmore might be another way to describe Reign of Terror. But regardless, it's a great album.
