Sounds Like
Jack Kerouac, Jack White, and Bon Scott get drunk and play cards with Tom Waits, Ryan Adams, and Bobby Bare Jr.
Show up on the doorstep of his Seattle home, and he'll invite you in and offer you a drink. Bring him a gift, and he'll make sure you don't leave emtpy handed. Win a bar bet, and he'll pay up quicker than you can say, "I told you so!"
David's solo debut, Americana Hour, is just as generous and inviting as the
man himself. David and his gang sound like your best friend’s band; the one
you always wished you’d be invited to play in. You can play tambourine,
right? And there are plenty of “la la la” choruses to sing along on. It’s
a musical house party, and the whole neighborhood’s invited. Come on over,
there’s always room for more.
David's story-songs range from romantic to sinister to outright silly, but
you’re always smack dab in the middle of them. Americana Hour takes you on
a dusty backroads drive through American musical history. You land at a
friend’s house, well past midnight, when the guitars come out and you’re
serenaded with preposterous tales of pyromaniacs in love, cowgirls and
gunslingers. Twangy bar blues filters out of an after-hours club. Inside, the
lovelorn drown their heartache in whiskey and cigarettes, while jilted lovers lurk
in dark corners with murder on their minds. Maybe you head in, or maybe you
walk on in the early morning fog, to the tune of an irresistible waltz, dancing with
your lover all the way to the moon. At an afternoon barn dance, you swing
your partner ‘round a joyful ode to a beloved fishing spot, while fiddles and
guitars play off each other in the brilliant sunshine.
Americana Hour is the soundtrack of lazy summer afternoons on back porches
and late nights wandering deserted city streets, of dim saloons and
endless train tracks. David Hillman is one hell of a tour guide. If you
happen to see him out there on the road, buy him a drink or two. He’ll tell
you stories, he’ll make you laugh. If you keep him around long enough, he might
even clean out your ice box making you some Midnight Pasta!
