THE HARD WAY BLUES

Jesse Dayton isn't just an unsung hero of modern-day American music. He's a larger-thanlife- storyteller who blurs the boundaries between genre and discipline, with a multi-decade
career highlighting his work as a chart-topping songwriter, guitar hero, author, movie
director, screenwriter, frontman, sideman, producer, and road warrior. Dayton redefines
himself once again with The Hard Way Blues, a blues-based rock record produced by
Grammy winner Shooter Jennings. Inspired by longtime influences like '70s-era Bob Dylan,
Lightnin' Hopkins, and Mance Lipscomb, the album balances some of the sharpest
songwriting of Dayton's career with loud guitar riffs and amplified attitude.
