Ben Harper‼️ You can order it here EOL Vinyl and I’ll be playing the 1st show for it in LA on Feb 26th (see below) and more to follow.

Also here is a video to enjoy for Valentines  

I found an old cell phone – the nice and easy cheap kind that i miss – pre iphones and androidzzz. I loved the out of focus “older” effect of these shots of my favorite subject on earth, my daughter. I wrote this song soon after she was born. Recorded it in ’05 thereabouts at Stanley Recording with John Wood and his daughter Amy in Venice, CA. Please forgive my over indulgence with my girl but what better way to document this time for me…haha  Love, T  Baby D on Apple Music  #tbt

I had fun shooting this video in Joshua Tree, although it was cold! Yes it gets cold in California – in the high desert in January, exactly a year ago, when it was shot. I was asked to play music at a very cool Yoga Retreat/Recovery Program called Recovery 2.0 led by an old friend from NY Tommy Rosen. The song felt very apropos of the healing that was going on around me: people being honest and coming to terms with themselves and how they wanted to lead their lives from here on out. Runaround was written for that feeling of “Time to face the music, time to face the fear.” Take hold of your life, a song for self, truth and discovery. Here’s the Premier on Pop Matters

Here’s the video direct on YOUTUBE * special thanks to Kia Miller for being in the video so cosmically, DJ Pierce for shooting and direction and Chance Foreman and Colin Hickey for editing.
