Jesse Dayton, “...a towering figure in the realm of outlaw country...” Tinnitist, serves up his unique brand of Texas blues with his new album, "The Hard Way Blues," produced by Shooter Jennings. This album made an impressive debut at #2 on the Billboard Blues chart, behind only Slash’s juggernaut “Orgy of the Damned.” The Beaumont native’s career, spanning multiple decades, showcases his versatility as a chart-topping songwriter, guitar virtuoso, author, frontman, sideman, producer, and relentless road warrior. From his early days with the Road Kings, where he seamlessly blended Texas Rockabilly and Country with Punk Rock's raw energy, Dayton has been a trailblazer. His innovative style earned him critical acclaim and paved the way for collaborations with music’s legends. Over the years, his partnerships have included blues sensation Samantha Fish on the Grammy-nominated "Death Wish Blues," country icons like Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings; Johnny Cash and Glenn Campbell, rock rebels such as Duff McKagan and Glenn Danzig, and visionary horror filmmaker Rob Zombie. Amidst this diverse body of work, Dayton's solo albums stand as a testament to his genre- defying artistry, solidifying his reputation as a roots-rock renaissance man.

Collaborating with Shooter Jennings, renowned for his Grammy-winning work with artists Brandi Carlisle and Tanya Tucker, Jesse Dayton once again evolves with The Hard Way Blues. Building on his signature outlaw sound, Dayton explains, "I wanted to make something that reflected where I'm at right now; so, we turned a musical corner and embraced a big sound with a lot of ripping, bluesy guitar leads. Sometimes, it sounds like Freddie King. Sometimes, it sounds like Jimmy Page. This record was completely liberating for me because it goes back to so many of my longtime influences. I don't care about genres, trends, or buzz words — I just care about being truthful to my own vision, and that's what The Hard Way Blues allowed me to do." Crafted in the heart of Hollywood, " The Hard Way Blues stands as a testament to Dayton's esteemed career, meticulously blending his rowdy spirit with timeless influences and showcasing his versatility and artistry in an irresistibly melodic collection of American music.

Mike Stinson is dangerous, the kind of songwriter who can upend the way you see the world with a

single line, and whose lean, mean rock and roll machine of a band usually starts at a Chuck Berry gallop and goes from there. They can crank it so hard, in fact, it’s entirely possible to miss all the diamond-tipped rejoinders, double entendres, aphorisms and the occasional outright burn that litter Stinson’s songs, and make him one of the wickedest lyricists around today.” Houston Press
