Jesse Dayton Announces Memoir, Covers Album With X’s ‘Burning House of Love’
Jesse Dayton will release a memoir detailing his musical journey with Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, punk bands like X and Social Distortion, and his own career as a solo artist this fall. Beaumonster is due November 9th with a companion album arriving a few days earlier on November 5th.
Also titled Beaumonster, the record features Dayton’s versions of songs by the bands that shape his memoir. He previews the set with a cover of X’s “Burning House of Love.”
“I used to love playing ‘Burning House of Love’ on tour with X and it always sounded like a Johnny and June duet to me,” Dayton says in a statement. “It’s not lost on me how strangely eclectic it is to work with Waylon Jennings, Rob Zombie, Ryan Bingham, L.A. punk legends X and so many others from different genres. And my new behind-the-scenes memoir reflects those experiences. It was obvious a companion cover soundtrack of these musical events would pair well with the book and the audiobook so I recorded a new 10 song record.”
