Today, Horne shares the EP\u2019s first single, \u201cPoor Moon,\u201d a cover of an obscure Canned Heat gem originally released in 1969, via a premiere at Shindig Magazine. A sweet, sad, eco-conscious lament about the pollution of the moon, the song foreshadowed what Canned Heat songwriter Alan \u201cBlind Owl\u201d Wilson saw as the inevitable destruction of our nearest astronomical neighbour.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4167\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4167\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4167\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DanHorne-by-McKennaKane-0-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"414\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DanHorne-by-McKennaKane-0-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DanHorne-by-McKennaKane-0-300x207.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DanHorne-by-McKennaKane-0-1024x707.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DanHorne-by-McKennaKane-0-768x530.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DanHorne-by-McKennaKane-0-1536x1060.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DanHorne-by-McKennaKane-0-2048x1414.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4167\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dan Horne. Photo: McKennaKane<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always felt a connection to Canned Heat, maybe because of the California roots, but I think Sam Blasucci first played me this rather obscure gem on a long drive during a Grateful Shred tour to somewhere. I tracked all the instruments alone quarantined in my studio, but when it became apparent that I needed to add electric sitar I asked Jonathan Wilson to borrow one of his,\u201d explains Horne. \u201c\u2018Poor Moon\u2019 felt like an appropriate song for the times. It\u2019s totally absurd but also relevant in portraying our current sense of existential dread. And I thought it would be fun for me to sing to sing all of those doo-wop backing vocals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4168\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_0346.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"605\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_0346.jpeg 960w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_0346-298x300.jpeg 298w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_0346-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_0346-768x774.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_0346-24x24.jpeg 24w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_0346-48x48.jpeg 48w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_0346-96x96.jpeg 96w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>The Motorcycle Song EP<\/em> is a 4-track song cycle of original instrumentals and vintage boogie covers. Horne\u2019s first release under his own name synthesizes his talents into a single, playful statement of sound and magic, recorded and performed entirely by him during the Great Quarantine of 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Along with &#8216;Poor Moon&#8217; the EP includes &#8216;Blackjack&#8217; a swinging instrumental jammer that recalls a rural version of Stereolab hanging with Todd Rundgren, perched atop a mountain, plucking a banjo and exploring the sky, set aloft on the wings of a tripped out Prophet 5 synth. &#8216;Rhythm 55&#8217; is the EP\u2019s second instrumental, grooving along like a Dillard &amp; Clark backing track buttressed by a steady drum machine, showcasing Dan\u2019s formidable pedal steel skills. It leads into the title song: a loopy cover of Arlo Guthrie\u2019s &#8216;The Motorcycle Song&#8217; from 1967. The definition of laid back, a psychedelic ride-or-die partner for the quarantine age, escaping reality on two wheels, flowing vocal harmony and pedal steel angelics in its wake.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<span class=\"synved-social-container synved-social-container-share\"><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fshindig-magazine.com%2Findex.php%3Frest_route%3D%252Fwp%252Fv2%252Fposts%252F4166&#038;t=Shindig%21%20Premiere%3A%20Dan%20Horne%20%E2%80%93%20Poor%20Moon&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fshindig-magazine.com%2Findex.php%3Frest_route%3D%252Fwp%252Fv2%252Fposts%252F4166&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fshindig-magazine.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2020%2F09%2FDanHorne-by-McKennaKane-0-scaled.jpeg&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=Shindig%21%20Premiere%3A%20Dan%20Horne%20%E2%80%93%20Poor%20Moon\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fshindig-magazine.com%2Findex.php%3Frest_route%3D%252Fwp%252Fv2%252Fposts%252F4166&#038;text=New%20post%20on%20our%20site\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-mail nolightbox\" data-provider=\"mail\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share by email\" href=\"mailto:?subject=Shindig%21%20Premiere%3A%20Dan%20Horne%20%E2%80%93%20Poor%20Moon&#038;body=New%20post%20on%20our%20site:%20https%3A%2F%2Fshindig-magazine.com%2Findex.php%3Frest_route%3D%252Fwp%252Fv2%252Fposts%252F4166\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"mail\" title=\"Share by email\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/mail.png\" \/><\/a><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Celebrated producer and musician DAN HORNE, best known for his work as bassist with Circles Around The Sun and Grateful Shred alongside production duties with Cass McComb, Mapache and Pacific Range, shares this quarantine recorded cover of Canned Heat&#8217;s &#8216;Poor Moon&#8217; with Shindig!
