In 1990, Baird "fired himself" from the band. Since then, he has released two solo albums (1992's Love Songs For The Hearing Impaired and 1996's Buffalo Nickel). In 2001, he released a live album: Redneck Savant. Baird has done some producing and sideman work, with a.o. Will Hoge, Chris Knight and The Dusters. You can contact Dan Baird via: bizodaaj@earthlink.net. He also tools around with a group of rockers in the Yayhoos, featuring Terry Anderson, Keith Christopher and guitarist Eric "Roscoe" Ambel, making some of the most kickass roots rock heard in a while. The band released one disc, Fear Not The Obvious, in 2001. In 2002, Baird has toured Europe both with the Yayhoos and his 'pickup band' Dan Baird & Friends (Dan Baird, Ken McMahan, Keith Christopher and Mauro Magellan). In 2003 he toured along with Ken McMahans The Dusters and the Dan Baird & Friends European summer tour has been a great succes. The excellent outtakes-album Out Of Mothballs has been released in May 2003.
