Kathy McCarty

Dead Dog's Eyeball: Songs of Daniel Johnston was produced by former Glass Eye bandmate Brian Beattie.

Trouser Press noted that "no songwriter ever had a more imaginative or beneficial interpreter than Daniel Johnston enjoys in Kathy McCarty".

Texas Monthly wrote: "Some songs recall Glass Eye's art-rock explosives... and McCarty's lyrical acuity remains intact...

In February 2020, she traveled to Los Angeles to sing "Younger Generation" for a tribute/benefit show at the reunion of the Lovin' Spoonful.

[4] McCarty's cover of Johnston's song "Rocketship" was featured in the animated TV show Futurama and in the 2022 Richard Linklater film Apollo 10 1⁄2: A Space Age Childhood.
