David Holt-Perpetual Motion!

[terrapin]

My recent Storyville phase led me straight to this CD. Oh My Goodness, this stuff is SO good. Great songs, great production and GREAT performance. IMO Grissom/Holt is as good as it gets as collaborating guitar players, and either by themselves is so fun! I just listened to Grissom's Loud Music and Perpetual Motion back-to-back! That's jaw dropping good!

 

[3 Mile Stone]

Yea, it's incredible. Lots of great stuff on that record.

 

[FuzzGazer]

Lurve David Holt!

 

[CDaughtry]

Love this album! Our own Lance Keltner produced it!

 

[John Hurtt]

Great album with some tasty playing and good songwriting.

Super album. It really amazes me that the other David in Storyville gets all the attention. I love Grissom to its, but it amazes me that more people don't talk about Holty.

Thanks for the props Charlie.
Most of it was cut at my studio.
It was a fun disk to make.
David is a great player...
I played on two tracks and cut the whole disk. Some of it was mixed elsewhere, some at my place.

Fun factoid... The tone Wheels Fall off is actually a Amp Farm Marshall.
We used it as a scratch track with the intention of replacing it but it sounded so darn good we just kept that track.

I would have never thought it wasn't a perfectly miked amp because it sounds ridiculously good. This is one of my all time favorites. Great songwriting, great playing. I wish he would do another one.

 

[wichita]

It was just David's hands. The guy has the touch.

I have been a fan after hearing him in Storyville but when I tried to find some clips there was nothing on official websites, like Blue Corn etc.

 

[Marc Roy]

Must check this one out ASAP. I've a big fan of Holt's as well.

 

[wichita]

I think Holtie has a new disk out too.
I will check for you guys..

 

[John Hurtt]

It was just David's hands. The guy has the touch.

He does have "the touch" but the production on the album was first rate. Nice job!

Small world Lance...David gave me that "new CD" when he stayed out at our place during the annual 4th of July jamboree in the Hills! I never put 2&2 together before this thread.

Good reason to pull it out and crank it up!

 

[telesquire]

That cd has been a fave of mine for the last 8 years now. Gave it an airing recently...every track is strong on there.
Love his playing on this...

 

[wichita]

The newest one or Motion?
I do think he has a new thing out since we worked together.

 

[telesquire]

I only have Perpetual Motion. Wish he'd release something with the Eightysixxed guys.

If Allmusic is correct this is his only solo release..

Holt is amazing. Said he's working on the new CD when i asked him on FB.

Probably my all time favorite strat tones on that CD. He's every bit as impressive as grissom when he cuts loose.

 

[telesquire]

^^ Agreed! Saw him twice here live with Storyville....nice purple suede cowboy boots too!
