ABOUT THE ALBUM

A raw, high-voltage Texas roots-rock throwdown from Ian Moore, Johnny Moeller, and Jesse Dayton, packed with blistering guitars, grit, and the untamed spirit of Antone’s.

Read the story behind Rise and Shine

If Texas guitar playing had a definitive DNA strand, it would look a lot like the collective resume of Ian Moore, Johnny Moeller and Jesse Dayton. For the past three decades, these virtuosic titans have operated on the cutting edge of roots music, each carving out a distinct, fiercely loyal empire. Moore brought soaring, soulful psychedelia back to the blues; Moeller infused the Austin scene with an uncompromising, razor-sharp funk and string-bending ferocity; and Dayton injected punk-rock adrenaline into the heart of classic outlaw country.

Together as Texas Headhunters, they aren't trying to sell you a mythologized, pristine version of the Lone Star State. They're giving you the unfiltered grease, the high volume and the sweat of that legendary Austin nightclub Antone's, where all three made their bones. They play with the kind of dangerous, competitive fire that only old friends who have nothing left to prove can cook up.

Their self-titled debut was already being called a modern classic when the band went back into the studio and knocked out Rise and Shine, a tight, tuneful and tumultuous 10-song set recorded in five days with no smoke and mirrors. The guitar playing is off the chain, but their singing is stronger, and their songwriting has grown remarkably. The material is smart and sophisticated, but there's a tough naturalness to it that cuts right through.

In an era where roots music has become painfully manicured and defanged for mass consumption, Moore, Moeller and Dayton just plug in and blast through the screen. This is a rowdy, back-alley situation that feels less like a carefully rehearsed musical performance and more like a beautifully lawless throwdown you'd stumbled into at two in the morning.
