I'll Be Waving As You Drive Away: Silverado Brown Vinyl LP

Pre-Order Item. Release Date Subject to Change.
Label: Mexican Summer
Release Date: 6th June

Hayden Pedigo's sound is nourishment for the soul, it feeds you with nostalgia for places, peoples and scenarios you've never lived but it's wholesome, without being cloying, pure but without a shade of dark. Hayden is again quite adamant this is NOT cosmic country, however, if you do like that stuff...

Texas-born and Oklahoma City-based fingerstyle guitarist Hayden Pedigo announces his remarkable and genre-defying new album I’ll Be Waving As You Drive Away, out June 6th via Mexican Summer. Since the release of his 2023 record, The Happiest Times I Ever Ignored, Pedigo earned widespread critical acclaim, performed a stunning NPR Tiny Desk Concert, toured non-stop with the likes of Jenny Lewis, Devendra Banhart and Hiss Golden Messenger, and more. He then decamped on a 20,000-acre ranch at an artist residency in Wyoming to write his new album, which he’d later record in Ojai with Scott Hirsch and name for a “pretty devastating” episode of Little House on the Prairie from 1978. The resulting album, I’ll Be Waving As You Drive Away, is the final installment of what Pedigo has dubbed 'The Motor Trilogy’ – his three latest solo albums, tied together by their vehicular Jonathan Phillips artwork. An innovator of the instrumental genre, challenger of the stereotypical, and son of a truck-stop preacher, Pedigo has crafted an intentionally maximalist, genre-resistant work of warped instrumental Americana on this release, which he calls “a micro-dose psychedelic album…as if somebody had cut up a tab of LSD and put on a Fahey record.”
