Trends are like ocean tides, particularly in musical endeavors. In the 1970/1980’s heyday of Rock radio, the core of the song roster was inspirational Rock. Music that offered a DIY guide through troubling moments and championed success. The cuts created a community that was connected by the songs on the radio. Much of that musical output became relegated to Classic Rock categories, morphing into Dad Rock circa 2025. Those definitions are the closest that style of song has ever come to a clear-cut meaning outside of the equally generic Rock/Pop. In today’s musical medium there is a core of artists that hear the words and music of those tracks as templates for song structure. Dave Goddess channels his own version of those musical moments with his recent E.P. release, Kitty Hawk. He hears the individuality of the artists, realizing that ‘they’re all unique, but I admire the straightforward simplicity of their music. I soak in the influences and filter them through my own off-kilter brain. In the end you realize that the most unique thing you have to offer is yourself’’.
 
The E.P. kicks off with a jangle when Dave Goddess Group tells the tale of the woman in the “Tin Foil Hat”. The beat of the cut gallops into Kitty Hawk, setting the standard for the songs on the release to catch air. A collection of stories staged in song, Dave Goddess Group create a rumble for the walk through the life of a small-town man stuck in his beliefs with “Someone Worth Waiting For” while an atmospheric pedal steel guitar fills the air of a Mexicali night as background for the sway of “Wild and Willing”. 
 
The defiance that pushes the pen of Dave Goddess frames the stories in Kitty Hawk. The music is a soundtrack of vintage influences while the words are narratives of contemporary trials and tribulations. Waving “Pretty Soon It’ll Be Too Late” like a flag that leads a charge against the mediocrity of settling Kitty Hawk shouts “Hey Romeo” over a Rock’n’Roll beat as Dave Goddess Group send out a Country Rock love letter signed “Lucky Guy”.
