about

Dandelion is Blake's new record and 2nd solo album. It follows Small Town's previous release, It's Not Here quite nicely. Dandelion, features the acoustic, somber sound he's been writing for over 15 years, but continues to surround itself with beautiful cello throughout and distant drums on a few tracks as well. It combines life's difficult moments with some of life's greatest and simplest pleasures. It's themes are similar to Small Town's record.

Several of these songs were written during or just after the Small Town era. This latest album calls on the good friends and musicians he's worked with over the years: both Robert Martin and Seth Woods play on tracks. Dandelion was recorded and produced by Blake's good friend and talented musician, Steve Zydek.

To some degree, Dandelion is a retrospective on the last 10 years of Blake's songwriting, travels, friendships, relationships, and his return home to Chicago. Blake and Steve Zydek would get together whenever Blake returned home for a short visit. While the Zydek children went to the mall with their mom Heather, Blake and Steve recorded one song at a time over an 8-10 year period. Dandelion represents friendship and never losing your smile, or knowing that your smile is never too far away.
