Davy Williamson "Thin Disguise" and "Cliche" with Bruce Hilliard
Today’s guest is rock monster Davy Williamson...a man with similar habits to my own. He writes the songs, plays guitar, bass, keyboards and drums. He sings and records...and for one thin dime he crawls on his belly like a reptile.
Going into the interview I requested him to send another song in addition to his new single “Thin Disguise.” He sent me “Cliche”, another song that’s on his soon to be released EP, available wherever you get your steaming music.
The pre interview consisted of Davy sending me a music file via my phone and one by email that got stuck in the pipeline and arrived right as we started...and the song is on my phone.
