Produced at Studio 606 in Los Angeles, “Devil’s Handyman” is the second single from Steve Hill’s highly anticipated, upcoming album Hanging On A String. The new single is as dark and moody as can be. It’s released by No Label Records on Friday October 4th and is available on all streaming platforms from https://lnk.to/HillDevil.
Recorded live off the floor, the new album is destined to impress. Germany’s Guitar Magazine says, “Steve Hill is the most impressive one-man band on the planet… it’s hard to believe that what you’re hearing is only one guy.”
Watch the official “Devil Handyman” music video HERE.
“Devil’s Handyman” is about an all-too-common story in the world of rock and roll – addiction. The narrator is the dealer, talking to his clients, acting like a comforting friend at first and gradually taking control over his life. It starts with the line, “Hey there buddy, good to see you again,” and ends with, “I’ll be there until you start to lose your soul and fall apart.”
The music video for “Devil’s Handyman” was directed by Mat Lucas and shot at Studio 606. The shooting of the performance where Steve is playing guitar and drums, is the actual recording of the take that was used on the album, on the first day of recording, January 8, 2024.
As a recording artist, it is one of Steve Hill’s best performances in over 25 years; with 13 albums to his name. It features deep blues slide guitar over a Zeppelinesque heavy groove, with vocals that echo the likes of Howlin’ Wolf and James Hetfield.
The first single “World Gone Insane” has been available on all platforms since September 6th and the video can be seen HERE.
“Devil’s Handyman” is an impressive taste of what to expect on Hanging On A String, available everywhere from Friday November 1st. Trust UK’s Fireworks Magazine when they say, “This album will blow your mind!”
The album is available to pre-order from https://lnk.to/stevehill.
Recorded and produced by 10 X Grammy Winner Darrell Thorp (Foo Fighters, Radiohead, Paul McCartney) and mastered by 6 X Grammy Winner Michael Romanowski, Steve Hill’s latest album is as close to the heart as you can get. Decades of dedication to the lifestyle of a working musician have shaped him and his craft, and Steve’s new batch of songs are based on his own successes and failures and the life lessons he’s learned from them.
