Nathan has seen a girl who’s boyfriend is a dirtbag, and he’s offering her a chance to get away and drive coast to coast in his ‘boho limousine’. This is the first song on this album that I feel like I can actually understand. Personally, I love this type of deep slide guitar, it affects us all a little differently. I’m still getting a more vintage vibe from this album, which is extremely refreshing.
This track is a bop for sure, it is already at it’s peak well before the second verse, and maintains that heat with hard hitting drums and that gorgeous guitar pulling us all in and strapping us down. It’s punchy, it’s fresh and I honestly am enjoying this so much. This track verges more on the pop/indie rock vibe that I was hoping to hear from Nathan. This cover is insane- a back up singer and a basic beat- a screaming guitar and that delicious voice ties this all together and honestly, I don’t know if there is anything this man can't do. Hello! Yet another example of how versatile Nathan is! What do we have? An absolutely cracking cover of Cold Chisel's rock anthem ‘Rising Sun’. This is the soundtrack for lazy Sundays, watching the rain drip slowing from the gutters. It just builds and builds to a great climax of sound. It rips right through you and takes your breath away. This song turns out to be void of any actual lyrics, and rather tells a story with the guitar. The song begins with a lovely guitar 'solo' of sorts, and it is another transcending song. Oh, lord, can someone please tell me what kind of guitar he uses? The acoustics are so well rounded, it’s almost haunting. It’s shaping up to be a beautifully well rounded album- I believe this whole album tells a tale more of Nathan’s personal, musical evolution rather than an actual story. I am finding it hard to concentrate on the narrative to each song, because I’m just blown away by how incredibly soft everything feels. It’s gentle, it’s smooth and It soothes my soul. Something more on the folky/indie side of blues. What is it about acoustic beginnings that really pull a song together? This really is the epitome of Nathan’s sound, I think. “All my hugs come from behind” is a verbal representation of this song- the song wraps us up in a protective embrace and allows us to marvel at this man’s incredibly vast sound! Simple guitar and a little beat at the beginnings builds into something a bit more groovy and my goodness, that velvety voice just sweeps me off my feet. Wouldn't this just be wild to view live? Do you think Nathan could float me a ticket? Or swing by my hometown for a little gig when this is all over?Īt this stage, it’s starting to sound like every song is different than the last, an evolution of Nathan’s sound unfolding right into our very ears. The bass holds most of the power to this track. I can liken this song to an absolute 70’s classic- The Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits. I am really getting some 70’s vibes from this song, a nice kick with some funky plucking of strings happening in the background and bridge.
We have a folk-pop song over here! What a great beat to start off with.
I’m reminded of early Angus and Julia Stone- gentle acoustics that gradually flow into a more complex folk song. Oh, this is a beautiful example of what it means to take two genres and smush it together in a delightful, folky pop track. Off to a cracking start, the song builds nice and slow with a lovely guitar assisting the vocals, while the percussion builds gently behind Nathan’s crooning. The smooth, buttery vocals transport you immediately into a state of pure transcendence. Nathan Cavaleri’s first solo album has arrived! This stunning mix of blues and indie rock pop has me convinced that Nathan has created his own genre- or, the Cavaleri sound.
