Pre-Order the new Jeremy Porter LP and get an exclusive bonus acoustic EP!
From the brand spankin’ new jeremyportermusic.com official site:
GTG Records announces the release of Dynamite Alley, the new solo album from Jeremy Porter – the Detroit-based singer/songwriter and front-man for Jeremy Porter and the Tucos. The album is his first solo release since 2019’s 1987 EP and his first full-length solo album since Party of One (Mag Wheel Records, 2010). The album, named after a 1980 episode of the motorcycle cop-dramedy “CHiPs” (s03e23), with a nod to Rod Stewart’s second solo album Gasoline Alley, includes ten songs ranging from sparse acoustic numbers to cowpunk-rocking classics and country-rock tear-jerkers.
The album took a year and a half from the first sessions to release, after some direction changes and a busy touring schedule with The Tucos. “There were periods of great productivity, and there were periods where it sat for weeks on end. Sometimes life happens and you gotta dodge curveballs, but we got there in the end.” Porter says.
Dynamite Alley features a multitude of contributions from friends David Below (Jennifer Westwood, India Green) on drums, Jake Riley (The Tucos, Big Shoals, Matt Woods Band, The Social Workers) on upright bass, Fritz Van Kosky (The Regulars, Pete Moss & The Fungis) on electric bass and beats, Nick Raeon on banjo, Jay Gonzales (Drive-By Truckers) on piano, Wurlitzer, and organ, Doug McKeon (GC5, Bedroom Legends, Magpies) vocals, acoustic guitar, and mandolin, Chris Yohn (Boys From the County Hell) on violin/fiddle, Noreen Porter on castanets, Harry Brish on accordion, Gabriel Doman (The Tucos, The Hotwalls) on bongos, Rachel Goldsmith on cello, and Liz Fornal (The Orbitsuns on harmony/backup vocals. GTG Records label-mates, touring partners, and collaborators The Wild Honey Collective are featured prominently with Tommy McCord on mandolin, Danielle Gyger on harmonies, and Adam Aymor on pedal steel guitar.
“It’s an all-star cast! Everyone brought their A-game and elevated it way beyond anything I had planned.” Jeremy boasts. “It wasn’t always easy to wrangle everyone, but they were all very generous with their time and talent, and again, we got there in the end.”
The album was recorded primarily by Gabriel Doman (JP & The Tucos drummer/producer) at his Pharmhouse Studio in Dearborn, MI and Porter’s studio The Basement in Plymouth, MI. Tim Patalan (Sponge, The Fags) mixed it at The Loft in Saline, MI, and Dan Coutant (War on Women, Jawbox, The Sword) mastered it at SunRoom Studios in Windsor, NY.
The album will be released on limited-edition 180g vinyl, CD, and digitally on Bandcamp and all streaming platforms. Jeremy will spend the fall touring behind Dynamite Alley in a solo-acoustic setting across the midwestern and western US and Canada.
The first video from Dynamite Alley is “Big Spender,” filmed and directed by Noreen Porter in southeastern Michigan in July, 2024. The video includes several of the key players on the album and a super-cool 1998 Chevy Silverado called “The Bobcat.”
The Wild Honey Collective Volume 3 is now streaming everywhere. LP/CD available too!
