His recording and live work as Quiet Loner has won him many accolades, including Americana UK Album of the Year 2004 for his debut LP โSecret Ruler of the Worldโ. His 2010 release 'Spectrology' is a stark and honest collection of performances recorded deep in the English countryside during the big freeze of January 2010.
Produced by Mat Martin (Kirsty McGee) it features contributions from Inge Thomson (Bonnie Prince Billy, Broken Family Band), Roy Dodds (Fairground Attraction) and long term collaborator Alan Cook (Jackie Leven, Michael Weston King). 'Spectrology' has had 4 star reviews in the Daily Mirror, Uncut, R2 and Maverick, radio play on BBC 6Music and reached #1 in the Americana UK/Maverick americana charts.
Inspired by the storytelling traditions of American folk and country music, Hillโs songs also have a distinctly British lyrical bite and cover love, loss, infidelity, suicide, attempted murder, capital punishment, the database state, terrorism, religion, war, fallen angels, the secret rulers of the world and the redemptive power of country music. Hill is an accomplished raconteur and powerful live performer delivering a show that is emotional, often funny, usually political, occasionally angry, sometimes satirical but nearly always gentle and human.

"NEVER question who GOD REMOVED from your life. He heard their conversations when you was not around. "

Yeah, and the pitcher is praying for a strike out, and the batter is praying to hit a home run. This is ludicrous. And when they drop the ball, they never say, Jesus made me do it. But if they catch the ball, they make the sign of the cross.... Give me a break!!!

Yes I believe that ๐ฏ percent
I experienced a negative situation several years ago, and then at the right time my mom was able to sell her house immediately within a month.
That doesn't always happen, it can take over a year or more to sell a house sometimes.
We were able to move out to california quickly.
Someone I used to know told me that a house can take several years to sell. Well I guess God heard her big mouth and saw her boastful attitude.

@Andrew 8ate fan page Oh yeah, He will remove em. And you'll think to yourself...It's alright, PRAISE GOD!โ

@vigilante Rocco Some are Christians in name only, others may be praying selfishly, or with wrong agendas, only God knows the hearts of man, and who HE will bless.

โGod created this void in your heart because itโs only his to fill.โ Whew that was powerful
DAVON
So much for free will
Captain Shimmer
Thatโs not even a verse where is the verse that backs this up?
Dan
Not really that powerful. Why should god punish you and make you suffer just to be closer to him? Itโs like a needy little bastard that gets you fired from your job because you missed his play.
