The Hard Way Blues

Description

Jesse Dayton isn’t just an unsung hero of modern American music. He's a larger-than-life storyteller who blurs the lines between genre and discipline. A decades-long career has showcased his work as a songwriter, guitarist, author, film director, screenwriter, bandleader, sideman, producer, and road warrior. Dayton redefines himself yet again with The Hard Way Blues, a blues-based rock record produced by Grammy-winner Shooter Jennings. Inspired by longtime influences such as 1970s Bob Dylan, Lightnin’ Hopkins, and Mance Lipscomb, the album balances some of the sharpest songwriting of Dayton’s career with powerful guitar riffs and an amplified attitude.
