Jesse Daniel is the 'Son of the San Lorenzo' on new album

“...one of the premiere traditional country artists in the genre.” - Whiskey Riff

“...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.
