Jesse Dayton releases “Baby’s Long Gone” live video
Jesse Dayton has released a music video for “Baby’s Long Gone.” The song is from Dayton’s upcoming album to be released in the spring of 2024 by Shooter Jennings.
“The song was written about my ex-wife, a beautiful Cajun girl from my hometown of Beaumont, TX, who sadly passed away during covid,” says Dayton. “She was the head of Antone’s blues record label in Austin, so I wanted to memorialize her with an East Texas-style country blues song about the good times. ‘Baby’s Long Gone’ was basically cut live in the studio with all the musicians in the same room. I had been listening to a lot of East Texas country blues like Mance Lipscomb and Lightnin’ Hopkins, and wanted that vibe on the record.”
Dayton is fresh off receiving a Grammy nomination for Death Wish Blues, a collaboration with Samantha Fish. Dayton discussed the nomination in a recent interview with Blues Rock Review.
