A beloved actor wakes up one day and he's a best-selling novelist and a recording star.

The only difference is, this is actually happening to David Duchovny, who has gotten in touch with his inner-Hank Moody (at least, the writing part) and has followed his muse to publish his second novel, "Bucky (Expletive) Dent" and release his debut LP record, "Hell or High Water," which he sings his own lyrics and has been on the road to promote.
And, it's not like Duchovny is quitting his day job anytime soon.

A few years back, before taking on the role of Sam Hodiak in the NBC period crime drama “Aquarius,” Duchovny began to teach himself how to play guitar. He’d look up chords on song sharing apps and learned “Broken Arrow” by Robbie Robertson and “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots” by Flaming Lips. Every time he learned a new chord, he’d see where it would fit within the progression and he’d write a new song.

Exclusive Interview with David Duchovny! Talks Music, Touring, X-Files And More! - Feb 2017
David Duchovny, best known for portraying such iconic characters as Fox Mulder on The X Files and Hank Moody on Californication, will be embarking on his 2017 US Tour this February.
The two-time Golden Globe winner’s tour will include songs from his debut album, Hell or Highwater, as well as tracks from his next record, which is coming in in fall 2017. His music consists of self-penned tracks, firmly embedded in his uniquely lyrical, troubadour style.
“Making this record is a dream come true, but I never had this dream – it’s still a shock when I think about how all this music happened,” said Duchovny. “What I do know is that I feel these songs represent the truest expression that I’ve ever been able to achieve and I look forward to sharing it with everyone.”

As a longtime musician, McCusker said Duchovny is quick learner and a great band leader.
"It's a blast working with David," he said. "He's very comfortable with the band working together as a creative unit, especially since he's relatively new to the music game. It really doesn't feel like you're working with a star at all with David. He's very real."

Jokerman takes off his mask
reveals a car salesman at last
says, "grow up son, you know it's just a masquerade
now be a good boy and get me and the boss a gatorade
you can work up quite a thirst
watching all them bubbles burst.”

Song: "When the Time Comes"
Written by: David Duchovny
Album: Hell or Highwater
The future runs up ahead of me
holding hands with my sometime enemy
the present cannot keep its shit together
it's only the past that lasts forever
We will see that we have seen
our kingdom come and gone
when the time comes
Jack and Jill ran out on their bill
when Jack fell down, he found his crown
when Jill came tumbling after
that’s when they died of laughter
we recall all rhymes and songs
the exiled shall again belong
we will see that what we seek
was in sight all along
when the time comes
when the time comes
when the time comes

Album: Hell or Highwater
When the time comes
all I have done
all that is and all that was
all I’ve torn and mourned, destroyed, and undone
will be seen as one
we will be as one
when the time comes
all I have done
all that is and all that was
all I’ve torn and mourned, destroyed, and undone
will be seen as one
we will be as one
when the time comes
I know why my caged bird sings
he's blaming others for cagey things
the devil you know and the angel in the wings
are revealed as one
it's always just begun
when the time comes
he's blaming others for cagey things
the devil you know and the angel in the wings
are revealed as one
it's always just begun
when the time comes
The future runs up ahead of me

the present cannot keep its shit together
it's only the past that lasts forever

Song: "Another Year"
Written by: David Duchovny
Album: Hell or Highwater
Another year has come and gone, another chance to right a wrong
another year has come and gone, lost another chance to rewrite the song
another home, some other love, another god set high above
some other lie we tell ourselves to pass the time before the bell
