I'm pretty sure he left the band sometime between their 1998 debut and "Everyday and Then Some."<BR/><BR/>I second your overall recommendation of Hillis, though, and I would especially add that his work as guitarist in the John Faye Power Trip and Ike is well worth attention. While anything John Faye does is fantastic--I recommend his entire catalog wholeheartedly--Cliff Hillis was the greatest musical foil to Faye's lyrical and songwriting strengths, and he slathered 3 of their discs (the JFPT album, plus Ike's "Parallel Universe" and "In Real Life" albums) with his tasty and distinctive guitar leads.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04884080715626370898noreply@blogger.com
