Generally Weekly: A New Record
Dan Reeder - Every Which Way (Deluxe Edition) - Better late than never. That’s how we’ve been feeling about Dan Reeder. How in the hell have we slept on this guy for so long? One text to a friend about him read, “Where the f&ck have I been?” His music is a revelation. There is a reasons he’s one of the longest signed artists to John Prine’s Oh Boy Records. His songs are genius. Just listen to “Stay Down Man,” “Young at Heart,” “Supernova,” or “Nobody Wants to Be You” from Every Which Way. And his paintings. His homespun recording methods and self-built instruments. His personality. It’s all so fascinating. A true outsider. RIYL: John Prine, Randy Newman, Terry Allen, Michael Hurley, Robert Pollard. Good music. Listen and purchase below.
