‘Burning Daylight’ is the third solo album from Jerry David DeCicca, and if your Spotify playlists aren’t cutting today, here’s a dose of sunny Americana in the guide of the record’s title track, to lighten the load.

Previously of Ohio folksters The Black Swans Band, Jerry David DeCicca’s latest work ‘Burning Daylight’ was recorded live to tape at Sonic Ranch studios in West Texas, and rocks from dark to light. And if you wanted yourself a Texan Leonard Cohen, you have come to the right place.

“As a teenager, my taste was out of time- I was obsessed with 40 something year old singer-songwriters that used labels like Columbia, Elektra, Arista, and MCA to document their search for identity. They moved minor chords and graphic details next to big choruses; their characters were their friends, neighbors, family, and themselves: Lou Reed, Warren Zevon, Elliott Murphy, Graham Parker, Bob Dylan, John Mellencamp, Tom Petty, and, more than anyone else, Springsteen. I wrote and recorded this album with a spirit and urgency of my old heroes,” DeCicca says.

The tracks make the most of DeCicca’s now-home of Texas Hill Country with metaphorical lyrics to access the personal, like fighting depression in ‘Dead Man’s Shoes,’ seeing beauty in desolate times in ‘Cactus Flower,’ and ‘Burning Daylight’ is an ode to how you spend your waking hours and comes paired with a sweet lil video:

Featuring collaborators from past records, new band mates, and Gary Mallaber (drummer on Springsteen’s Lucky Town, Van Morrison’s Moondance, Gene Clark’s White Light, every Steve Miller Band hit), Burning Daylight is the next chapter in DeCicca’s Texas Hill Country records, where sense of place and politics stand in the periphery of that personal space where light and darkness run parallel.
