Davy Williamson "Same Place"

Writing for this blog is a pretty great gig - I get to sit back and people send me some of the most interesting and energetic new artists. Davy Williamson is a singer/songwriter with expert writing chops somewhat reminiscent of heavier rock and layered instrumental parts somewhat like early Cure tracks.

His new song "Same Place" is a powerful two-fisted deep-dive into an emotional landscape most people flee from (hence the name). The production value is first-rate; balance between vocal and guitar/drums couldn't be better for this genre... speaking of drums, they are bold and powerful in this song, showing a great deal of virtuosity, but never eclipsing what is important - namely the vocal line. Williamson, for his part, shows high-level technical proficiency as a singer, which is matched by his emotional output. A real stand-out track, to be sure!
