Nikki Hill

Maybe soul-splashed rockabilly is what the roots revival is missing. And Nikki Hill might just be the answer to that generally ignored corner of Americana history in this contemporary phase of revitalization. The North Carolina native seems to harvest the legendary ghosts of R&B; pair that with a unique charismatic presence, wailing guitars and a little post-industrialism, hard-nosed musical sensibility and what you've got is a Southern shouter who has the legendary structures down, but isn't afraid to push them toward a whole new sound.
