Drawing on juke-joint blues, swampy-groove country and a lot of rock 'n' roll, with stops in gospel and beat-poet territory along the way, DADDY (Will Kimbrough & Tommy Womack) has been hailed by critics and fans alike for their incendiary live performances and recordings that embrace a wide scope of what's great about American music. Kimbrough's wide-ranging abilities, sweet and reckless by turns, dovetails with Womack's slash-and-burn style to produce a sound that has earned the band 2009 slots at SXSW, Tin Pan South, KDHX's Twangfest & Jubilee Jam.
Kimbrough (2005 Americana Music Association Instrumentalist of the Year) and Womack (Two-time winner of the Nashville Scene Best Song Award) first came together in 1992 in the bis-quits, who made one impressive guitar-fest record for John Prine's Oh-Boy! label. They discovered a musical and personal kinship that has continued to grow over the years --- maturing to become DADDY.
Consistent with the band's 2005 fan-favorite live CD -- AT THE WOMEN'S CLUB -- DADDY's FOR A SECOND TIME studio release is a seamless mesh of roots-rock, gospel, rockabilly and gritty blues. Echoes of Los Lobos and The Band's reverence for all American music permeate the record. FOR A SECOND TIME is a compelling studio portrait of a band that can sting and swing and get listeners to sing.
