Another Lost Highway

I don,t know if its his affinity with Hank or what but every time I here Arty I enjoy him more.From when I first seen him at SXSW 2009 he has kept growing in all facets and he is onmy bucket list to see live again where ever that may be.I would recommend Arty to any body....

ANOTHER LOST HIGHWAY is Arty Hill's newest CD and it continues his string of nothing-short-of-outstanding music. This one contains Hill's usual - often in the same song - mix of rockabilly ("Halfway House"); rock and roll ("Blackwater Wildlife"); country shuffles ("Mae Dawn", "Victoria's Secret"); weepers ("Another Lost Highway"); and honky tonk (pretty much all of them). Hill's singing has never been better nor has his guitar work. Of special mention is "Omaha ICU", a song about a drug overdose; a subject you'll agree is not exactly a honky tonk staple.Hill has a special talent for writing innovative lyrics, for example from "12 Pack Morning": "Sunrise like to burn me down, til a big blue Ribbon brought me around."Or from "Another Lost Highway": "Down this road I'm goin', dyin' to make a deal,Money does the drivin', I don't even hold the wheel."I don't think you can beat that line.And as always, the other musicians are perfect, and I want to give a special mention to Jack O'Dell, a terrific drummer who, based on my very limited contact with him, is a truly nice and genuine man.If the music I've described here and the lyrics I've quoted appeal to you, buy this CD.
