The Dean Ween Group will release The Deaner Album offivially on Oct. 21 on ATO Records. Deaner, originally a founding member of Ween, recorded the album at various live stops before finishing it in his studio in Lambertville, NJ.
Like Ween and Dean's Moistboyz group, it will be varied stylistically, he says, with a recurring focus on classic rock guitar. Performers on the album include Curt Kirkwood (Meat Puppets), Chuck Treece, Mike "Kidd Funkadelic" Hampton, Scott Rednor, and Bill Fowler.
Meat Puppets will open for The Dean Ween Group on a fall tour later this year.
