Countin The Miles

Description

For singer-songwriter Jesse Daniel, country music is nothing less than a lifeblood. Hailing from a rural mountain town on California's central coast, the Austin-based artist first explored his innate passion for music by playing drums in punk bands, then drifted down a troubled path that included years of battling addiction and time spent in prison and rehab. As he took his first steps toward sobriety, Daniel immersed himself in the pure joy of writing country songs, fully embracing the unbridled vitality of California country and bringing lived honesty to his lyrical storytelling. Since the release of his self-titled debut album in 2018 on his own label, he has gained significant respect as a traditionalist in country music and built an extremely dedicated international following, largely thanks to his freewheeling performances and tendency to tour nearly 200 days a year. Recently signed to Lightning Rod Records, Daniel is now offering his fourth studio album, Countin' The Miles: a powerful work born from his fervent belief in preserving the legacy of country music.
