In a world where cheery indie-folk bands seem to be popping up left and right, Birmingham, Ala., native Dan Sartain drives up in a beat-up 1969 Camaro with slicked-back hair and blows them all away with his sinister bluesy sound and cutting lyrics. At least, that’s what he’s about to do, as his fifth album, Dan Sartain Lives, is released July 20 via One Little Indian Records. It’s no surprise that he’s become a favorite of reigning blues king Jack White, after touring with the White Stripes and recently releasing a single on White’s Third Man Records. Only someone as badass as Sartain could make a mix tape, like the one he made for MAGNET below, including Gary Glitter and get away with it.
