Taste Test: David Quinn twirls his ‘Gap Tooth Girl’
The honky-tonker unleashes a boot-scootin’ good time with a new song.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones.
An homage to the 1987 short documentary, Gap-Toothed Women, directed by Les Blank and Maureen Gosling, Americana musician and singer David Quinn‘s new song is a whimsical, saloon-approved piano romper dedicated to, you guessed it, his own “Gap Tooth Girl.” He whips her across the dusty bar-room dance floor, the ivories pouring out as a summertime cloudburst, and with a flourish, the listener gets lost in the magic, too. “Love me slow / Never let me go / She’s the wildest woman I’m ever going to know / Dancing ’round the room till the morning time / Always on the move like Bonnie and Clyde,” sings Quinn, his voice dancing between the shadows of the low-hanging bar lights. It’s as ripe for front-porch pickin’ as it is for the hoedown at the local watering hole. Get to boot scootin’, yeehaw!
“Gap Tooth Girl” is another morsel of Quinn’s debut album, Wanderin’ Fool, out April 5.
