This week, I’m joined by outlaw country and blues guitar master Jesse Dayton as we curate a playlist featuring some of our all-time favorite guitar solos—spanning genres, eras, and styles.

From blistering blues to iconic rock, this playlist is a celebration of the guitar solo in all its glory. Along the way, we dive into tracks from Jesse’s album The Hard Way Blues, produced by Shooter Jennings, and discuss his legendary collaborations throughout his career.

Jesse shares stories about recording with Waylon Jennings for the 1996 album Right for the Time, the Grammy-nominated success of his 2023 duo project Death Wish Blues with Samantha Fish (produced by Jon Spencer), and what it was like playing guitar for Glenn Danzig during his Danzig Sings Elvis tour.

We also explore Jesse’s contributions to Rob Zombie’s film universe, including his musical roles as Banjo & Sullivan in The Devil’s Rejects and Captain Clegg & The Night Creatures in Halloween II.

From country to metal to horror soundtracks, this episode showcases Jesse Dayton’s incredible versatility and passion for the guitar.
