Johann Georg Pisendel (December 26, 1687 - November 25, 1755) was a German Baroque musician, violinist and composer who for many years led the Court Orchestra in Dresden, then the finest instrumental ensemble in Europe. He was considered the foremost German violinist of his time and was an admired orchestra director. He did not write much music, but what there is (all instrumental works) was of very high quality and is mostly in an Italian style influenced by Vivaldi.

However, the highlight of Southern Weather is "Dirty And Left Out," a confessional–and decidedly non-secular–duet with former Sunny Day Real Estate frontman Jeremy Enigk that's chilling enough to give goose bumps to even the most stringent non-believers.
