D. Alex Meeks of Hooded Fang sets out on his own journey as Holiday Rambler


Bouncing guitar notes roll along like tumbleweeds as Mr. Meeks spins his folk songs entrenched in the spirit of the American South. His lyrics are smart, cautious, and full of unbridled honesty, like a Flannery O'Connor novel. He weaves religion, family, and the future of the world as we know it into something human and tangible. Intricate repetitive plucking dots Holiday Rambler's songs like stars in the sky, all in the right place, so natural their placement seems accidental. Languid emotions float gently over the simplicity of an acoustic guitar. Holiday Rambler is the everyman that died long ago, the tradition your grandparents remembered but your parents discarded. Lose yourself in these lost hymns.
