Advance praise for Dust & Tears:
“Jai Uttal’s new album, “Dust & Tears,” is a gem. It is essential Jai but in a new dimension, as beautiful as his many other works, but more available to the (my) western ear. On “Dust & Tears” prayers are veiled, but ever present. “Psalm” is a spiritual and musical blockbuster of melody, arrangements, vocal, and chorus. I’m happy putting the entire album on repeat, which is exactly where it is while I write this.” - Joan Baez
‘So intimate, so vulnerable, so ecstatic, so sad, so romantic, so edgy, so historical, so new, so now, so timeless, so emotionally and musically complex— I think this is Jai’s BEST album.” —Sharon Gannon, Jivamukti Yoga founder, activist, writer, dancer, painter, musician and chef.
“I love ‘Dust & Tears’ — the lyrics, Jai’s voice, the arrangements, the heart, the feelings.” — Anne Lamott, bestselling author.
