Singer/songwriter
Jason Simon, nephew of The Wire co-creator David Simon and guitarist and vocalist for brooding Washington D.C. psych rock outfit
Dead Meadow, launched a solo career in 2010. Sparser and more intimate than his work with
Dead Meadow,
Simon’s atmospheric, nocturnal country-folk owes more to
Bert Jansch,
Townes Van Zandt, and
Sandy Bull than it does
Black Sabbath and
Blue Cheer. Recorded by
Simon and
Dead Meadow bass player Steve Kille, his eponymous debut was released in September 2010 via New York City’s Tee Pee Records. ~ James Christopher Monger
