First Album in Seven Years on Opaque Fiesta Red Vinyl LP!
PopMatters' The 15 Best Americana Albums of 2023 - Rated 15/15!
His first release in seven years, Only Dead For a Little While, finds Jon Dee Graham hitting the trifecta. And in the process raising the stakes. A native Texan, fifth generation, he has found that spot where life and love and death converge, where they are so deeply connected, inextricably bound. And he makes you feel that connection with the same raw intensity. that he does.
"After 15 years of trench-warfare on my own, George Fontaine and Jay Woods made it possible for me to make an album I am proud of and gave me a home label to back it. As someone who has built a career and a life outta beating the odds, this was nothing less than a miracle. I came back from death's door to make it, so it has a certain urgency to it. As such, this may be my best record yet." – Jon Dee Graham
Graham's whiskey-scarred snarl singing with the urgency of someone who isn't sure how long he might have left in this world, atop grinding guitars and pulsating drums demands attention... Hoping there will be more Jon Dee albums where this came from.
It showcases the Lone Star musician's sick humor, creative talent, and generous spirit.
