Billy Morrison’s HOLLOW takes the collaborative approach of The Morrison Project and gives it a more personal edge. Across 12 tracks, Morrison balances hard rock, alternative influences and heavier guitar work, while sharing vocal duties with a remarkably varied cast of guests. The contrast works because the songs remain at the centre rather than becoming excuses for star appearances. Morrison’s own vocals carry plenty of grit and conviction, while the production keeps the guitars punchy without burying the melodies. There is also a darker emotional thread running through the record, particularly on the title track, which draws directly from Morrison’s difficult past.
