Don't miss out on the Folk/Americana single, "Rustic Glory", by the Happy Curmudgeons merging old & new sounds.
(Metro Detroit, MI)
Rustic Glory is truly an uplifting track. The lyrics are meant to be inspirational, but it is the musicians on the track who are amazing. The song features Dave Hamilton on- vocals & guitar; Billy Cox (the Jimi Hendrix Experience & Band of Gypsys) on bass; Bobby Balderrama- from Question Mark & The Mysterians on guitar; Jim Moose Brown- from the Bob Seger Band on Hammond B3 organ, and Detroit Music Award-winner, Todd Glass on drums.
Dave Hamilton wrote the lyrics & music for Rustic Glory. The song centers around loss, happiness & remembrance. David wrote the song for his father and was able to play it for him before he passed. The song can be about anyone that brought you comfort and inspiration. "Rustic Glory" was released in July 2022.
"Like a summer breeze, blowing through the trees, and you're telling me the sacred part, and all of those stories and their rustic glory remain deep within my heart."
Mark Byerly produced Rustic Glory and it was mastered by Bill Skibbe at Third Man Records Detroit. The song was recorded at Longview Studios, The Sound Shop Macomb and Kingdom Studios/Nashville.
