Glad For Wasted Days.......2007-03-24

I am so glad to have discovered Dave Gleason's Wasted Days recordings. I can hardly believe my ears. The listening experience is like something out of California country rock's Twilight Zone,or perhaps, Back To The Future, which is saying something good.
Despite occasional surfacings of outlaw fringe and "trad" country the basic fluff-country pop sounds emanating from Nashville studios are odviously here to stay. The writers and "artists" have long been preaching and selling to that great mass middle ground common denominator. Everybody's happy, right? Wrong.

Review the reviews of this DGWD recording and the first. Gleason and his Wasted Days have been name dropped in to a pot of the finest honkytonkin',country rockin' alumni, and not without good reason.

If you're out searching for the next Gram Parsons, Dwight Yoakum, John Dawson, Buck Owens I gaurantee you will be glad to have discoverd the recordings of Dave Gleason's Wasted Days.

Country music for people who aren't morons........2006-01-31

I don't have much to add to the previous review, mostly just nod my head in agreement. The 'Flying Burrito Brothers' are definitely conjured up here, only 'Wasted Days' rocks out more and Gleason has a better voice than Parsons. Kind of like if Parsons had been backed up by Tom Petty's band or the Jayhawks. This is first rate cosmic country, furthering the trail blazed by Gram Parsons, New Riders of the Purple Sage and the Grateful Dead. The next time I find myself in a bar full of trailer park cowboys and bikers I hope Dave Gleason's Wasted Days are on the stage.

Closest thing to Gram Parsons.......2004-03-10

This guy Dave Gleason just blew me away with his new record "Midnight, California".

This guy is the real deal, nobody else has played California Country music this good in a long, long time. Nobody has played country rock this well in a long, long time.

His first record just called "Wasted Days" by the way included an unreleased Gram Parsons cover called "Funky String Quartet".

Getting back to the new record..
Listening to Dave reminds me a little of Gram, Wynn Stewart, and even a little Dwight.. but most of all he's very similar to Gram. This guy could even be a better songwriter than Gram was.

There is also some beautiful harmony on this record.. one song that sounds like an early Bee Gees song with twang.

You have to pick this record up, it's an instant classic.
