Dan Reeder

Description

Born in Louisiana, raised in California, Dan Reeder has lived in Nuremberg, Germany since the 1980s, where he established himself as a recognized visual artist. He writes, arranges, and records entirely on his own, layering tracks and playing all the instruments himself — instruments he often builds with his own hands, just like his microphones, amplifiers, and recording equipment. Recorded in his home studio in Nuremberg, this 18-track album blends folk, blues, gospel, and field hollers, with songwriting full of humor and mischief about the absurdities of everyday life. Combining weary blues and dirt-road folk, carried by a slightly raspy voice, Reeder weaves a musical fabric that feels like soft, frayed old denim. The gatefold is signed by John Prine himself, with a photo of the original letter that started it all. A unique record, handmade from start to finish.
