Dawes – North Hills (CD) artist-jon-batiste Jo-Jo (4:51)Taylor Goldsmith and his bandmates recorded North Hills while still in their early twenties, drawing deeply from the Southern California canyon rock tradition of the early 1970s. The comparisons to Jackson Browne and the early Laurel Canyon scene were immediate and deserved, but Dawes were never simply revivalists; they wrote songs that felt lived in from the first listen, and this debut announced a band with a clear sense of who they were. 2009 album
