Ex Mavericks/Storyville guitarist David Holt delivers a solo debut that mixes his blues, country and rock influences into a unique blend. Outstanding songwriting.

Editorial review

David Holt offers up one safe rock song after another in the vein of both Bob Seger and John Fogerty. Kicking off with the summer-driving "Til the Wheels Fall Off," Holt is helped out by a fine supporting cast, including Spooner Oldham on keyboards. Other times Holt is just as capable of softer, midtempo harmony-riddled pop ? la Tom Petty on "Walk on the Moon Again" and the lengthy ballad "Mistaken Identity." One significant departure, though, is the funky pop of "Leave a Message," which recalls the Odds performing "Love Is the Subject." One miscue is the soul romantic cover of Little Village's "Fool Who Knows," which sounds a tad out of place, but more fortunately, the highbrow pop of "Man in the Abyss" resembles Neil Finn. Holt's biggest asset is his ability to play the proverbial musical genre field without sounding out of his league. The boogie-driven "Roadblock" is a great example, as it's basically an old-school rock song that Eddie Cochran would have felt at home performing. The blues-cum-funk of "Searchin' Understone" takes a little longer to get used to, but it's worth enduring the introductory verse for the pleasing guitar-fueled chorus. The dirge-like honky tonk atmosphere on "One Seam at a Time" features Kacy Crowley on this duet, almost eerily like those duets of Rodney Crowell and Rosanne Cash. It's a myriad of styles that Holt successfully captures nearly every time. ~ Jason MacNeil, All Music Guide

Bio / Background

David Holt's reputation as a legendary Texas guitar slinger and songwriter has already been established through his time with Storyville and The Mavericks. The release of his first solo album, "Perpetual Motion" is about to send that reputation into the stratosphere as he adds singer, producer and bandleader to his shingle.

David is joined by Mark Andes (Spirit/Heart), Tommie Taylor (Eric Johnson) and Muscle Shoals legend Spooner Oldham on an album that blends Texas firepower with sophisticated song structure, great lyrics and a terrific singing voice that will make you wonder why he's kept his mouth shut all these years. "Perpetual Motion" is a stunning "debut" that has been over 20 years in the making.
