Daniel Meade & The Flying Mules Release ‘Let Me Off At The Bottom’

New album Let Me Off At The Bottom from Danile Meade & The Flying Mules features eleven new Meade originals and is the first record he made with The Flying Mules. Meade and the Mules - Lloyd Reid on electric guitar, Mark Ferrie on double bass and Thomas Sutherland on the drums - recorded the album live (for the most part) at the legendary CaVa Studios in Glasgow and mixed by Morgan Jahnig over in Tennessee.

This album looks to both the past and future at once and features songs that draw on a widely varying influence and subject matter. Depression, prescriptions, limerence, and even a shotgun wedding are all here (amongst others), a mixed bag made coherent by The Flying Mules road-honed sound. Following his debut album As Good As Bad Can Be (2013) and 2014’s Keep Right Away 2015 saw Meade and The Mules complete two successful headline UK Tours, a sell out nationwide tour opening for Pokey LaFarge and once again being invited to perform live on the BBC as part of the highly successful 'BBC at The Quay' sessions in Glasgow. Meade also undertook a two week solo stint in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium opening for and backing Diana Jones.

As a result, he and long-term guitarist Lloyd Reid were invited back to the EU for a string of their own dates at the end of August, which were a great success and already there are more EU shows confirmed for 2016/17. Daniel and the band finished off the year on a high, supporting Scottish music royalty The Proclaimers. Having struck a deal with label At The Helm Records to release new album 'Let Me Off At The Bottom' (May 27th 2016) things continue to move in the right direction. 2016 promises to be a great year, with slots already booked at 'Kilkenny Rhythm and Roots Festival,' 'Maverick Festival', 'Eden Festival' and 'Americana Festival 2016' amongst others, and a solo UK tour in April, once again in support of Diana Jones. Additionally, they have been confirmed for the support slots for all of Sturgill Simpson's UK dates. Watch "Please Louise" here.
