Synopsis

Album Description
2009 album from the Los Angeles-based Americana quartet. Dawes seem to get all their musicianship and expression across through the inherent nature of the instruments. They seem to have their utmost respect for the song itself, only stepping out when a song calls for it, relying on the other to keep the holes filled and the ship sailing smoothly, letting the music reflect their own personal relationships to the listener. It doesn't just sound like four guys who are playing in a room together, it finally is.

CD Reviews

North Hills- Dawes
Robert A. Nease Jr. | Harrisburg, PA | 06/08/2010
(5 out of 5 stars)

"First heard Dawes on WXPN, their hit play was an instant favorite "When My Time Comes. Great harmony, a true country-rock band with a light touch of gospel. Good grooves. Look forward to hearing more from this group."
Love is all i have for them

"I discovered Dawes because I'm a massive fan of another band {Delta Spirit - check them out. My absolute favorite band.} whom Dawes supported on tour.I actually briefly talked to the lead singer, Taylor, before the show because my friend and I unknowingly parked beside their band van. He {and the rest of the band} is very sincere and kind in everything he says. They all have a good sense of humor, and all seemed genuinely appreciative of any support they got. Being so impressed by their opening act, this poor college student forked out a tenner for their album at the show, but I was more than happy to support them.



On the three hour ride back home {listen, I'm willing to travel ANY distance to see Delta. They're that good.}, my friend and I popped in this CD, and we would get so excited when we heard the songs we'd heard live. We were really quite impressed by the songs with a second listen.



"Love Is All I Am" is a personal favorite. Lyrically, I think it's beautiful. Taylor sings, "Love is not convenient./It does not cease at your command,/and you might take and leave it,/but love is all I am."



The musical talent of the band is illustrated in "When My Time Comes." The intro got everyone at the show rocking, and my friend and I car-boogied to the song on the way back home.



I think this band will go far if given the support they deserve. I'm more than willing to spread them around. Give them a shot. I think their time has come."

"Dawes' North Hills is the best country rock album I have heard in a long time. IF you like Eagles, Jayhawks, Flying Burrito Brothers, etc., you will like these guys. The harmonies are tight and the songs are well written. These days, I rarely play a new CD 20 times the first month I have it, but I have with this one."
