“...one
of the best-kept secrets of neo-traditional country for many years.” - Country Central
June 6, 2025 – Rising country artist Jesse Daniel releases his new album SON OF THE SAN LORENZO via Lightning Rod Records.
Recorded live to tape at The Bomb Shelter in Nashville and featuring a collaboration with Charles Wesley Godwin, the 11-song collection offers up a candid accounting of Daniel’s remarkable journey, from his early years hitchhiking in the shadow of the Santa Cruz Mountains to his tumultuous adolescence and battles with addiction, to the people, and music, that ultimately saved his life.
This
summer, Daniel will traverse across continents with shows in Brazil, a tour
through Europe, a West Coast run and his debut headline show at the
legendary Texas institution Billy Bob’s. He’ll then make his way down to
Nashville for AmericanaFest, and in October, will tour through Australia. Find
a full list of tour dates below or visit his website.
“I
wrote, arranged and produced this record myself,” shares Daniel. “I
also took on much of the sonic direction, including percussion, rhythm and lead
guitar, harmonies and more, which I think is a really important piece of the
puzzle given how personal these songs are. I felt like I was finally ready to
stop running and face things head on with this record. I felt like I’d matured
enough to go deeper than I ever had before, to try and understand how I get
here and where I’m headed.”
Daniel
shared a series of pre-release singles including the nostalgic ‘Mountain Home’,
which Wide Open Country lauded as “a warm and relaxing song that paints a
beautifully vivid picture.” It followed the heartfelt reflection ‘Time Well
Spent For A Man’ (ft. Charles Wesley Godwin) that earned a rave 9.1 review from
Country Central who called it “beautiful” and the hopeful and soulful first
single ‘My Time Is Gonna Come’, which garnered praise from American
Songwriter, Whiskey Riff, Holler, All Country News
and more.

He’s
now an established, mainstay stalwart of the honky tonk touring circuit that
you can set your watch and compass to, and that young up-and-comers now see as
an influence……The best country music isn’t always just about the here and now.
Sometimes it takes months, years, or even generations for the most important
aspects of country music to reveal their strength and genius. Just as Jesse
Daniel used country music to save his life and get him on the right path, he
now uses the songs of Son of the San Lorenzo to project who he wants
to be, and where he wants to go in the future. – RATING 8.2/10 SAVING COUNTRY MUSIC
Taking
shape while he was on the road last year, the album expands on his sound in a
way that wears its influences on its sleeve, from the California country of the
Eagles and the Flying Burrito Brothers to classic rock like Led Zeppelin and
the Allman Brothers. In addition to the Charles Wesley Godwin feature, it
includes instrumentation from Charlie McCoy, Lynyrd Skynyrd keyboardist Peter
Keys and SteelDrivers banjo player Richard Bailey.
Last
year marked a turning point for Daniel’s career, beginning with creating the
theme song to comedian Dusty Slay’s Netflix special Workin’ Man that was
released in January. He then released his critically-acclaimed album Countin’
The Miles which garnered praise from Billboard, Texas Monthly, Cowboys &
Indians, Bandcamp, BrooklynVegan, Whiskey Riff, No Depression, Holler and many
more. The album went on to debut in the top 30 on the Americana Radio Chart and
led to a tour supporting Godwin. To close out the year, he released a duo of
collaborative singles with Benjamin Tod which was followed by a co-headline
tour.
