His fourth LP was recorded as a full band in a “mostly live” fashion and showcases a distinctly different sound from previous work. Nelson’s previous material was acoustic-guitar led, woodsy folk that featured a wide array of backing instrumentation including a string quartet. A change in palette led him to pursue catchy, 70’s and 80’s influenced rock that’s loaded with experimental, rhythmic guitar hooks and vocal earworms. His slightly husky vocals are supported by keyboard player Kara Laudon’s. Their uplifting call and response makes for varying textures within melodies that keep interest through multiple listens. The whole record feels connected and goal-oriented throughout, elevating Nelson’s talents in songwriting and ability to recruit like-minded bandmates. “I’m Not Afraid” is a standout effort from a prolific songwriter whose career is truly just beginning. Recorded on November 12, 2015 in Chicago, IL.
