Between his former Waxwing duties and his current solo career, Seattle singer/songwriter Rocky Votolato has been releasing a steady stream of records since the late 1990s. Last year’s Makers was both a fifth and a first for the musician; it was his fifth overall record and his first for hometown label Barsuk.

The album was also his most successful to date- it spawned the powerful, O.C. approved single ‘White Daisy Passing’- but, if we may expose our bias, we still have a secret preference for 2004’s rougher offering, Suicide Medicine. Makers still managed to make good on the Votolato name though and the recent announcement that his next record, The Brag & Cuss, will be released by Barsuk on June 19th is something we look forward to.

There hasn’t been an official mp3 released yet but here is that 2006 single, ‘White Daisy Passing’, for those who live under a big mass of cooled lava.
