Chanteur
Country US né à Beaumont (Texas).
Raised in
Beaumont, TX, near the childhood home of
George Jones, Jesse Dayton grew up on the hardcore honky tonk of
Jones,
Hank Williams, Sr., and
Lefty Frizzell, but also blues artists
such as Lightnin' Hopkins and Mance Lipscomb. During the late '80s and early
'90s Dayton fronted two rockabilly bands, the Roadkings and the Alamo Jets,
playing around the state in honky tonks and dives. After beginning a solo career,
he played support slots at shows by Willie
Nelson, Merle Haggard, and
Waylon Jennings, and even appeared as
the bandleader in a Pam Tillis video.
Signed to Justice Records in 1995, he released Raisin' Cain that same
year and also appeared on the Willie Nelson
tribute record, Twisted Willie. Dayton's songs also appeared in the
FOX-TV series Melrose Place and in the film Curse of the Starving
Class. In fall 2000, Dayton issued Tall Texas Tales. Hey Nashvegas
followed in 2001, and Country Soul Brother in 2004. That same year Dayton
received an interesting phone call while en route to a gig. It was Rob Zombie
calling, and he wanted to know if Jesse would write some songs for a movie he
was working on. The result was Rob Zombie Presents…Banjo & Sullivan: The
Ultimate Collection 1972-1978, released in June 2005 to coincide with Devil's
Rejects, Zombie's sequel to his 2003 cinematic debut House of a 1000
Corpses. In the film's elaborate, imaginative backstory, Roy Sullivan and
Adam "Fingers" Banjo were honky-tonk musicians who met their gory end at the
hands of the homicidal gang known as the Devil's Rejects. Zombie commissioned
Dayton to write and perform a series of songs as Banjo & Sullivan, and the
result were tongue-in-cheek, but well-done honky-tonk numbers like "Dick Soup",
"Lord Don't Let Me Die in a Cheap Motel," and "I'm at Home Getting Hammered [While
She's Out Getting Nailed]." The album even included a cover of "Freebird".
