THE SID HILLMAN QUARTET

The Sid Hillman Quartet is the slow-brewed culmination of Sid's mindful alchemy: songs that bend the rules; songs that smudge the edges of what your ear will accept. He warps rhythms, creates a verse where you might expect a chorus and whispers where others might explode. Not fitting comfortably into any niche of modern music, the Quartet spiritualizes the languid, southern parch of Vic Chesnutt, without forgetting how to rock when necessary. Their sound, a result of intense rehearsal and Sid's strong black coffee, evokes images of driving through the desert - dry and sparse -and the honest nature of Sid's lyrics comes through in floods of warmth and cold, plaintive vocal lines.
