Boise’s Hillfolk Noir recorded the foundation of their new album Diggin’ Songs live in a generous friend’s tiny North End house. With their amps in closets, drums next to the woodstove, singers in bathrooms, and microphones in every unoccupied corner, the four piece band breathed life into the songs and the characters that meander through them. The production continued in an even tinier garden shack, complete with egg crate soundproofing and a large spider population. With the dark theme of “Digging,” these recordings wander out of the sage covered hills through beatnik juke joints, Appalachian swamp shacks, and psychedelic deltas. Exhausted and proud of the finished product, Hillfolk Noir humbly invites you to come into the fog and let your eyes roll back.

"9+1" project in motion. I've written 10 songs (most of which are pretty rag timey) about the members of the Trey McInyre Project. Trey has put videos together for each of the songs. You can subscribe for $50.00, and this will get you a DVD a month for most of a year.
