Contrary to what some power strike, Ingram Hill is non of the call of a solo artist just rather, a band; no one in Ingram Hill is really named Ingram Hill (just now like on that point was never a musician named Lynyrd Skynyrd or Jethro Tull -- at least non in either of those well-known '70s bands). Like Cracker, Train, and Tonic, Ingram Hill has an earthy, unpretentious approach that is relevant to both alternative pop/rock and roots rock. The Memphis-based quartet aren't an exact reproduction of authoritative rockers from the '60s and '70s -- their work on is, by '90s and early-2000s standards, more modern -- only they do experience a certain down-home rootsiness that has gone all over well in Southern rock circles. That isn't to sound out that their sound is stereotypically southern in the way that Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, the Outlaws, the Marshall Tucker Band, and Black Oak Arkansas were stereotypically southern back in the '70s; Ingram Hill doesn't have into hell-raisin' well ol' boy stereotypes, and their lyrics run to be brooding, introverted, and thoughtful. Ingram Hill brings a long list of influences to their exploit -- a list that ranges from Tonic, Cracker, Blues Traveler, and the Gin Blossoms to the Black Crowes (a patronise comparing), Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, the Rolling Stones, and John Cougar Mellencamp. Ingram Hill was formed during the summer of 2000, when Justin Moore (lead vocals, regular recurrence guitar) and Phil Bogard (lead guitar) linked forces with two early musicians they knew from the University of Memphis, Shea Sowell (bass, background signal vocals) and Matt Chambless (drums). Before Ingram Hill, Moore and Bogard had played together in a Memphis band called the Bamboozlers (wHO were together from 1997-2000 and commit out a CD coroneted Shopping for Stuart). In 2001 and 2002, Ingram Hill toured the Deep South extensively, and developed a small but enthusiastic regional following in that part of the United States. Their starting time release came in 2002, when they commit out their debut EP, Until Now, on their have pronounce, Traveler Records. Five of the disc's 8 tracks were produced by Tonic vocalizer Emerson Hart, and Until Now sold about 10,000 copies. Then, in 2003, the Memphis residents released their first base full-length album, June's Picture Show, on Traveler; the CD was produced by Rick Beato, world Health Organization had worked with Billionaire, the Tender Idols, Flickerstick, and singer/songwriter Michelle Malone, among others. June's Picture Show had only been out a few weeks when Ingram Hill signed with Hollywood Records, which re-released the album in February 2004. Cold in California followed from Hollywood in 2007.
