New Album Out Feb 14 2025

“Creating improvisatory music in a recording studio is a little scary but attempting the same free form, no holds barred musical approach in a live setting in front of an audience can be downright frightening. Fortunately the members of The Third Mind are up for the challenge. Bringing all of their various musical histories and passions together in order to create something new and different at each performance, The Third Mind never fails to astonish and inspire me.” - Dave Alvin

Dave Alvin & Jimmie Dale Gilmore

Part road map and part love letter: the twelve-song collection spans nearly a century of material and are tributes to mutual heroes, friends gone too soon and lifetimes spent on the highway “living off dreams and gasoline.”

－ American Songwriter.

25th Anniversary Edition

“I’m real proud of it twenty-five years later. This is the album where I finally found my ‘voice’ thanks to my dear friend Greg Leisz, who produced and played on the album while guiding me to some of the best performances I had done to that point in my career.”

－ Dave Alvin
