It’s hard to find another country singer that makes you feel more like you’re sitting in a honky-tonk in 1975 than Jesse Daniel.
Even Shooter Jennings, son of the legend himself, called him “the next one to blow up.” And that’s good company, considering Shooter predicted the success that Sturgill Simpson and Tyler Childers would have in the coming years.
Now, he’s ready to strengthen his arsenal of music with his latest single, “Clayton Was a Cowboy,” officially out today.
