Last week we
posted about a marketing strategy from Nashville based singer-songwriter
Sam Lewis for his upcoming release,
Waiting On You, on April 21st. Well I've been listening to a preview version and straight up - this album is phenomenal; perhaps my favorite of the year so far. It captures a blues and soulful side of Lewis that I don't remember from his self titled debut album. Now, this isn't a blues album - although the blues piano in
Reinventing the Blues is close - just Lewis and many excellent players which include
Kenny Vaughan, guitarist
Darrell Scott, guitarist
Will Kimbrough, pianist
Gabe Dixon, and backup vocals from
The McCrary Sisters. Seriously, what a supporting cast; plus the album was produced by Oliver Wood, of
The Wood Brothers.
Talk to Me and
3/4 Time are my favorite tracks, but in reality, there are no sub-standard tracks. Just listen to the pedal steel in
Never Again or the orchestration in
Texas. Powerful stuff.Pair this gem with Nashville's brewery and live music venue
Tennessee Brew Works. Cheers.
