Музыка и песни Nikki Hill / Nikki Hill

В звучании групп есть разница между Чаком Берри, Айком и Тиной и AC / DC. Взрывной припадок старых блюзовых риффов, сыгранных на максимальной громкости дуэтом мужа и жены Никки и Мэтта Хилла.

Hound Gawd! Records will re-release Nikki Hill’s third album entitled “Feline Roots” on April 24th, 2020 across Europe on vinyl and CD. “A fiery performer, channeling some of rock & roll’s most heralded voices, revamping the squalls, screams and shouting-at- the-devil of rock’s pentecostal roots to a blazing new take that she can rightfully call her own, a soul that owes as much to AC/DC as Aretha.” Okayplayer describes her sound. Originally independently released in 2018 on house label Deep Fryed Records, “Feline Roots” features the new lineup with Nikki Hill on vocals, Matt Hill and Laura Chavez on guitars, Nick Gaitan on upright and electric bass along with Marty Dodson on drums. Hill lets her soul rip on this new collection of songs, displaying her now well-known stance to champion for the pioneers of roots and rock n’ roll, while remaining in perpetual forward motion, inviting anyone who wants to come along for the journey. Johnny Thunders straddling guitar, Bad Brains’ rock meets reggae, Stonesy groove, Sister Rosetta Tharpe rave up rockin’ gospel power, all receive nods of recognition. Hill is unafraid of her past or experiences, and puts it out there for the sake of the song. The songs imagine the southern soul rocker at times waving her flag in surrender, then in the next moment finding her way back into the climb, bending through supercharged blues, punk soul, revival tent gospel, rockabilly shouts, whatever it takes to get there. It’s her version of rock n’ roll that can only come from her stories. Nikki has never been afraid to take the road less traveled, and it’s clear with “Feline Roots” that she’s living every word. Nikki push herself to the limit in commanding the stage, which she is doing about 200 nights per year, and showing people that rock n’ roll didn’t have one look or sound. The strong public curiosity allowed Hill the chance to open for a range of artists from Billy Boy Arnold, to Eileen Jewel, to Nelly. Nikki’s DIY attitude continue developing her sound, where there is a pulpit in the garage; where the girl group turns up the guitar, where southern twang cuts through heavy soul groove
