Trevor Hall's Top Song: The Lime Tree Buy Album

Billboard

"Songwriting to me is a practice of getting out of the way," says Trevor Hall. Given his prodigious talent, no doubt the 19-year-old singer/songwriter is on to something. Trevor's new 4-song Geffen EP The Rascals Have Returned gives music fans a clear look into the musings of an artist well beyond his years.
Produced by John Alagia (Dave Matthews, Jason Mraz and Liz Phair) and written entirely by Trevor, the EP masterfully weaves folk, hip-hop and reggae influences into a rootsy acoustic-centered style. On songs like "Under the Blanket" and "The Rascals Have Returned," Trevor sings smart supple lyrics often in a coiled half-whisper ("traveling bodhisattvas transform madness into opera/oh the sky is falling but there is plenty of room to breath"). Ballads like ""The Lime Tree" pulse with the heart and recklessness of youth.

On The Rascals Have Returned, singer/guitarist Trevor is joined by guest musicians like drummer Kenny Aronoff (John Mellencamp, John Fogerty) percussionist Leon Mobley (from Ben Harper's band) and bassist Sean Hurley, with producer Alagia on keyboards. The new EP comes right on the heels of Trevor's six-track live Geffen EP released last year and recorded live at the Mint and Hotel Caf in Los Angeles. That recording was Trevor's first major label release following his 2004 indie debut Lace Up Your Shoes which was also produced by John Alagia. Trevor is currently working with Alagia on his upcoming full length Geffen release.

there is something oddly touching about your voice and your lyrics... your originality is impressive. i researched some of your other songs and this one is still my favorite, although i liked "31 flavors" too. Jun 10
