New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Renegade rocker and Outlaw Country icon
Jesse Dayton is back on the road, continuing his Road to Redemption Tour with newly announced East Coast dates in support of his new album, The Hard Way Blues, released May 31st on Hardcharger/Blue Élan Records.
Twangville lauds, "Dayton's guitars - both acoustic and electric - growl and wail across The Hard Way Blues. They are a force unto themselves, infusing the songs with grit and urgency. More to the point, as good as these songs sound on record, one knows that they'll be the best kind of nasty live."
Produced by Shooter Jennings, the album debuted impressively at #2 on the Billboard Blues chart. The album reflects Dayton's evolution, embracing a bigger sound with ripping bluesy guitar leads. "I wanted to make something that reflected where I'm at right now; so, we turned a musical corner and embraced a big sound," Dayton explains. Crafted in the heart of Hollywood, the album blends his rowdy spirit with timeless influences, showcasing his versatility and artistry in an irresistibly melodic collection.
Dayton's career, spanning multiple decades, showcases his versatility as a songwriter, guitar virtuoso, author, frontman, sideman, producer, and relentless performer. From his early days blending
Texas Rockabilly, Country, and Punk Rock with his band Road
Kings to collaborations with legends like Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, and Rob Zombie, Dayton has consistently broken new ground. Dayton's live performances are renowned for their energy and sly charm.
