HEADED FOR THE HILLS is a collaboration between Jim Lauderdale and long-time Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter.
This album represents a propitious meeting of the minds--those of Jim Lauderdale, acclaimed progressive-country singer/songwriter, and Robert Hunter, renowned lyricist for the Grateful Dead. The acoustic, bluegrass-oriented feel of HEADED FOR THE HILLS was foreshadowed on Lauderdale's 2002 collaboration with Ralph Stanley, LOST IN THE LONESOME PINES. The spare format serves these songs well, as the rich storytelling style of Hunter is allowed plenty of room to organically unfold. The likes of "Crazy Peg and Darby Doyle," the tale of two hard-bitten traveling companions, and "Paint and Glass," an apocalyptic song with a biblical/philosophical tone, compare favorably to the gems Hunter wrote with Jerry Garcia for AMERICAN BEAUTY and WORKINGMAN'S DEAD. Lauderdale and Hunter's songwriting partnership has borne some particularly juicy fruit on HEADED FOR THE HILLS; here's hoping they decide to do it again.
