Video Premiere: Sons Of Bill, “Santa Ana Winds”

Videos by American Songwriter

Check out the brilliant new video from Americana outfit Sons Of Bill. “Santa Ana Winds” hails from their new album, Sirens, produced by David Lowery of Cracker and Camper Beethoven, due out March 26.

“The original idea for the song came when we were recording outside of Los Angeles a couple years ago,” says singer James Wilson. “We had to miss several days of recording because one of these massive forest fires was spreading throughout the valley and blocking several highways. Our producer at the time, Jim Scott, mentioned that a bunch of these fires are caused by arsonists. He said, ‘when the Santa Ana Winds start whipping up, people start getting crazy.’ It just makes you think about why people do what they do–what would drive one of these desert dwellers outside of Los Angeles to start one of these fires.”
