On IG Daniel said he would never go on tour again… I hope he was just being hyperbolic. Here’s the full quote: “Live In Pioneertown & Santa Fe out July 28 2023, limited vinyl! solo performances recorded on the 2022 tour The first song out is a version of "Kathleen" by Townes Van Zandt that I first performed wayyyy back in the ancient days of 2011 at my first solo show in upstate NY. It's a bit of a departure from the original, which is the only reason I would consider releasing a cover of any Townes Van Zandt song. But this song holds a lot of memories for me. It was a special, some might say ill-advised, tour. Solo shows, solo drives, no crew, not a lot of sleep. usually an audience. I played a show in a hotel bar in New Orleans, on a farm outside of Santa Fe, in way too many stifling churches, in lots of fun crusty clubs. It was a glorious reality check and one hell of a way to kick off my midlife crisis. Will I ever do it again? No. But I'm glad I was able to document a couple of the shows in the form of this live album. cover art by the great Ben Tousley. The original photo for the cover was taken by Natalie Escobedo at Pappy & Harriet's in Pioneertown. I was pretty hellbent on calling this thing Live In the Old West and making the cover a picture of myself posed in front of an old railroad car somewhere in New Mexico, or maybe in one of those dumbass black & white photo stations where you can borrow Hollywood-style frontiersman costumery. But I restrained myself. This is serious music after all. Mostly, anyway. tracklist: 1. Unpeopled Space 2. Silent Song 3. Shadow in The Frame 4. Golden Mile 5. Repeat The Pattern 6. Made To Rise 7. Phantom Other 8. Kathleen 9. Return To Form 10. It's A Passage 11. Saint Nothing 12. Kentucky Waltz”
@@warrenmusic I think Daniel just meant doing it completely solo, driving himself across the US, no crew or anything. I remember reading elsewhere that he would love to do shows for his solo music with a band in tow to completely fill out the songs.
