The Joff Lowson Trio – “Fire on the Hillside”

Most songs get recorded right away, but “Fire on the Hillside” sat in a drawer for a very long time. Joff Lowson wrote this tune in 1990 when he was twenty five years old. His old group lasted only a single year, and the song went unrecorded for thirty six years. Now, hearing him sing it at sixty one gives the piece a powerful and honest quality. Life happened across the decades, turning an old creative idea into a story of personal growth.

Three friends share vocal duties, adding rich harmonies that rise high above the instruments. You can hear the close bond between Joff Lowson, Dave Brown, and Mike Pryor in every single note they play. Everything sounds warm and welcoming, bringing the true spirit of American folk roots right to the listener, and the acoustic arrangement seems alive in every moment, showing incredible skill every night.
