Daniel, the acoustic instrumental follow-up to 2022’s Karma Chief label
debut, From Anywhere…, expands the world beyond LA’s concrete canyons
and overpasses to the bustling, churning sea of life that is Mexico City, to the
sparse, rolling landscape of Red Cloud, Nebraska. In each locale, the
constant companion was a nylon-stringed acoustic guitar — with a well-
traveled history of its own.
“It was my father’s guitar,” recalls Danny Garcia, the man behind the
Reverend. “I found out a few years ago that it was my grandfather’s as well.”
Ever-present since his childhood, the Mexican acoustic has taken on
increased meaning for Garcia with each passing year. Hours upon hours
spent playing, traveling, and breathing meaning into its fretboard have made
it both a tool and talisman.
“There’s the obvious bloodline and family and link…that link through history,” confides Garcia. “It’s kinda the only family heirloom I have.”
Over the last while, all this playing (or “noodling” as Danny puts it) had
Reverend Baron chasing a sound — one which belies the guitar’s origins. It’s
a sound he would hear from time to time, and when it came to record Daniel,
it would be his true magnetic north (or south as it were).
Spinning through Daniel, and you will hear echoes of Antonio Bribiesca and
Luiz Bonfa's guitar tones. Dig deeper and you’ll see the bones of Townes
Van Zandt and Nick Drake guitar textures as well. While not claiming their
virtuosity in his playing, the soul and vulnerability that have become calling
cards for the first two Reverend Baron albums complement these influences.
There is a warmth in Daniel that takes center stage in these acoustic
meditations. From brief, fluid moments like “El Monte” and “How Glad” to the
high-lonesome “Muchacho,” the songs drift like cumulus clouds over a deep
blue skyway.
