My entry into Jesse Dayton fandom had to have begun with his involvement with the band Supersuckers. He played on their country album Must've Been High. Not long after I heard that album I picked up his first solo country album Raisin' Cain.
Outlaw country music of this sort was a staple in my house growing up. Of course since my Mom liked it I had to rebel and get into all of the 80's rock and metal. But I had heard all of those Waylon and Willie records and enjoyed them until I thought I was too cool. So the music Jesse was making on that album was right up my alley while I was coming back around to those sounds.
He didn't get out of Texas much so I didn't see him with his country band until 2001. I did catch him with his rockabilly band Road Kings when the opened up for Mike Ness at the Fox in Boulder Colorado. Jesse is a dam fine guitar player so no mater what music style he is playing it's kick ass.
Now I don't think I could choose which I like better even. I celebrate the man's entire catalog.
