Death Wish Blues unites the ferocious guitarists for a revelatory album and ongoing tour
“The blues speaks to people of all generations at different times in their life — it’s just kind of your soul,” Fish tellsbackstage. “Watching a great [blues] band, watching a great guitarist playing and singing something really true from their heart, it affects you, it strikes a chord.”
A genuine force of sonic prowess with her vocal range, stage presence and six-string exploration via her signature white Gibson SG, Fish cut her teeth in the blues scene of her native, specifically running around famed club Knuckleheads. It’s the exact venue at which she first crossed paths with Dayton those many years ago.
“Jesse used to roll in all the time and we kept in touch over the last decade,” Fish says. “I’ve always admired his depth. He has so many projects and irons in the fire: solo work, backing up rock legends, working in cinema. And when I had a certain idea in mind for a collaborative project, he was that lightbulb moment.”
“Let’s throw a band together and just see how it sounds,” Dayton recalls of that initial studio meetup with Fish last year. “We went in there and recorded a Clash song, Magic Sam song and Townes Van Zandt song. We did the whole thing in a few hours. I took the tapes back to Austin and Rounder Records said they wanted to put it out.”
“When you go into a collaboration, you wonder if you’ll lose your identity — am I going to come through enough, is this going to be who I am?” Fish, 34, adds. “But the [collaboration] did the opposite effect. Once we started working on stuff, I felt myself taking chances that maybe I wouldn’t normally take on a solo record. I didn’t have any fear.”
