DADDY (Will Kimbrough and Tommy Womack)

Will Kimbrough and Tommy Womack both boast amazing underground resumes. Kimbrough (2005 Americana Music Association Instrumentalist of the Year) and Womack (Two-time winner of the Nashville Scene Best Song Award) first came together in 1992 in the bis-quits, who made one impressive guitar-fest record for John Prine's Oh-Boy! label. They discovered a musical and personal kinship that they fought for years in and amongst other commitments to get back to. With the breakup of the bis-quits in 1994, Kimbrough went on to be lead guitarist in Todd Snider & the Nervous Wrecks. (He has since produced several of Snider's records, along with a whole slew of other artists.)

Womack wrote Cheese Chronicles: The True Story of a Rock n' Roll Band You've Never Heard Of (the story of his first band, Government Cheese). Kimbrough went on from Todd Snider's band to play with Rodney Crowell (most recently) as well as with Kim Richey, Josh Rouse and others, and to become one of the most in-demand session guitarists in Nashville, launching a successful solo career as well and getting songs cut by Jimmy Buffett, Jack Ingram and Little Feat.

Womack wrote songs with Jason & the Scorchers and Dan Baird, and has been covered by Todd Snider, Scott Kempner and David Olney, among others. As guitarists, Kimbrough and Womack most noticeably click. The former's wide-ranging abilities, sweet and reckless by turns, dovetail with the latterŐs passionate slash-and-burn style to produce a chemistry that pushes each other. Drawing on Juke-Joint Blues, Country and good old Heavy Rock, DADDY (as they chose to call their new band) made its debut many years later, in 2005, with the At The Women's Club album, recorded live in Frankfort, Kentucky.
