Longing for Escape
Singer Greg Dillon leads his band Dart Club beautifully across valleys and mountains, with a soulful, Folk Revival song about escaping civilization to head "High Up in the Mountains." Fans of John Denver or even folk-jam-fusion Railroad Earth might enjoy the combination of piano, drums, chimes, and violin this song employs. Dillon's voice is a nice balance of melodic and husky, and the song builds and breaks with a sophisticated dynamism that almost reminds this critic of waves against the shore.
