Self-composed, written and arranged, Davy Williamson's musicianship is put up on display in the emotive, yet angst-fueled rock track, “Thin Disguise.” The groove pulses forward, with a push-and-pull feel drenched in the tension of Davy’s morose yet bittersweet lyrics.
The track sees Shawn Adkins (Back A Round Records) and Steve Hardy on recording and mix duties, alongside Andy Vandette doing the mastering. The track serves as the debut single from his full-length EP, which is scheduled for release next month.
Angst fueled themes around broken homes, struggles with relationships, loss of friends and betrayal, American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Davy Williamson sets out to battle his own demons, while helping others along the way.
