Austin-based singer/songwriter Jesse Daniel has shared the official music video for “Restless” from his LP Countin’ The Miles, which came out earlier this summer via Lightning Rod Records.
Inspired by the years Daniel spent struggling with addiction, “Restless” is a song about “wanting to break free from the chokehold (and the comfort) of habits that no longer serve you.” It’s accompanied by a video where Daniel plays from a bar stool.
Daniel has been on tour throughout the Spring and the Summer and will continue through the Fall with additional dates supporting Charles Wesley Godwin at the end of October.
Daniel says about the song:
‘Restless’ is a song about being stuck in habits that do you a disservice, growing roots on a barstool and dreaming of more. The setting of this video is perfectly fitting for the subject matter.
Daniel’s first time as sole producer, the album features guest appearances from Ben Haggard, Jon Randall,Gene Elders of George Strait’s Ace in the Hole Band, who passed away shortly after recording, and Jodi Lyford, Daniel’s partner, bandmate and frequent co-writer.
Comedian Dusty Slay enlisted Daniel to create the theme song to his Netflix special Workin’ Man.
