if anyone wants country/folk/blues recommendations Nick Shoulders and the Okay Crawdads as well as Nat Myers fucking slayed it when i saw them live on sunday
i still kind of can't believe i got to see the decemberists live this summer. like they were so insanely good? the video i got doesn't do it any justice
James takes a look at All Bad, the debut album from roaming Arkansas based alt-country artist Nick Shoulders and the Okay Crawdad, released September 8th on Gar Hole Records.
Do you like alt-country, yodeling and a cynical sense of humour? Then Nick Shoulders is the country artist for you. Here you’ll find impressive song writing, captivating storytelling, emotive and moving atmosphere and much more. The two elements that really seal the deal for me though are Nick’s silky-smooth voice (including his incredible yodeling skills) and the band’s guitar work, which is definitely country based but takes plenty of influence from the blues and surf rock. Even if you aren’t a fan of the genre, I still recommend giving it a listen as it has a lot to offer to any enjoyer of music.
