Bio / Background
Jonathan Byrd is an alligator shoe in a leopard-skin world. The new album, "This is the New That," turns everything on its ear and is openly challenging to anyone who has heard the Byrd.
Starting off with a blistering rip-off of Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues," here converted to "The Cocaine Kid," "This is the New That" is full of gorgeous surprises, political threats, outlandish coquetry, and intentional audio weirdness. From song to song, Byrd calls out the ghosts of rock 'n' roll past and boldly challenges them to a lyrical update. Cocky, brash, beautiful, stark, poetic, and over the top.
Folk legend Tom Paxton discovered the Byrd's music and sent him a quick email, saying, "What a treat to hear someone so deeply rooted in tradition, yet growing in his own beautiful way." Back then, Byrd had just released “Wildflowers,” an album full of simple, old-school tales of love and death.
