Thanks to everyone who's been listening to and bumping my songs over the past couple of weeks.

A few other guys play on some of these songs. Scott Eastman plays electric guitar and sings some harmony vocals on the songs from The Winter EP. The Six Song Revolver tracks have got Shawn McCammish on drums. And the Westerly songs have Shawn on drums again along with Jake Gullett on second guitar and background vocals.

biography
Barak Hill is a singer/songwriter from Southwest Missouri. He plays alt. country, acoustic rock, folk rock (it's all the same, call it what you want).

Barak started playing and writing at 14. More than a decade later his lyrics are tight and polished, melodies are musical, and story lines end up twisting a nerve with just about everyone in the audience before the night is over.

Live Barak plays a strong mix of originals and some well chosen covers by his favorite artists. People like The Jayhawks, Wilco, Steve Earle and others. He has shared the stage with acts as diverse as Big Smith and international recording artists Proto Kaw.

Barak's first CD, a collection of six original songs titled "The Winter EP" was released in January 2004. He recorded and produced the album in his home studio, enlisting the help of friend Scott Eastman for some electric guitar work. It's a straightforward album with very sparse production - vocals and a couple of guitars for the most part. Barak wanted to let the songs stand on their own, without a lot of bells and whistles getting in the way. They're presented just like you might hear them in a little coffeehouse or bar in some Southwest Missouri... (+) expand

Love the stripped down feel of your songs: Just a singer and his guitar. You need to post some shows. Be well and keep playing. You've got a fan in Georgia.

Hi! Thanks, Reuploaded version works fine for me. Great Cover, I MAX bumped it! :)) I am pretty sure other listeners had the same problem, so the song is still at low bumps :(
Anyway, great song, and I am hoping it will be making the homepage :)
