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.
In 2005, Dan Baird realised a new band, Homemade Sin with Dan Baird, Ken McMahan, Keith Christopher and Mauro Magellan. A live CD ´Feels so Good´ was released. More touring, also with The Yayhoos, was done, especially in Europe. In 2007 Ken McMahan was replaced by Warner E. Hodges of Jason and the Scorchers fame. The Yayhoos released ´Put The Hammer Down´, a splendid CD with song writing contributions from all the members. In 2008, the self-titled CD of Homemade Sin was released, another great record, followed by an extensive tour in Europe. In 2008, Dan Baird has created his own MySpace page.
