It was a chance trip to K-Mart that gave Kyle Craft his first album, a David Bowie hits compilation that helped inspire him eventually to channel his innate feral energy into songwriting and rock and roll. Kyle Craft is a 27-year-old singer/songwriter from Louisiana, who in his past life was either a glam-rock idol or frontman for a power-metal band. His sound is a swampy ’70s boogie that splits the difference between Dr. John and David Bowie…but his voice is a captivating, armor-piercing howl that gives his first album 'Dolls of Highland' its own character, and keeps it from ever feeling explicitly retro. Check out Kyle's latest single "Eye Of A Hurricane".
