Blondie and Dagwood (feat. Brennen Leigh)
Owen Temple (featuring Brennen Leigh)'s “Blondie and Dagwood” marks the fourth bonus digital-only single from the highly acclaimed Highway Prayer: A Tribute to Adam Carroll! Other artists contributing tracks include celebrated folk singers Greg Trooper's “Cane River Blues” (released May 1), Matt Harlan and Jamie Lin Wilson's “Rice Birds” (June 1) and Steve Poltz's “Sno Cone Man” (July 1). Now, longtime Carroll collaborator Temple offers the final word on the project with “Blondie and Dagwood.” Highway Prayer: A Tribute to Adam Carroll, produced by Jenni Finlay and Brian T. Atkinson and released last fall on their Austin-based Eight 30 Records, celebrates a true songwriter’s songwriter, a Texas tunesmith who has inspired both younger and older artists for nearly two decades. Accolades poured in immediately. “It speaks volumes that James McMurtry and Hayes Carll and many more all contribute to a new homage to Adam Carroll,” raved Rolling Stone magazine. “It's a diverse group united by a shared appreciation of a writer who may be only 42 but is talented beyond his years.” “Blondie and Dagwood” by Owen Temple with Brennen Leigh Owen Temple: vocal, acoustic guitar Brennen Leigh: harmony vocal, mandolin Sterling Finlay: upright bass Brian T.
