Take It Easy: On The Road With Destroy Nate Allen
This is one of those “miracle” albums of sorts, that genuinely caught the artist with his guard down, hitting the record button in someone’s basement studio in the vampire hours of the morning. Without the aid (or hindrance) of energy to carefully micro-manage the recording process, out comes raw nerves, passion, grit and slightly urgent strumming on the guitar. In other words, he was too tired to hold back or be self-conscious. It’s easy to imagine Nate trying to play faster in an effort to finish the song and get to sleep quicker. “Stand By Me” calls out with cracked voice, while “Ambulance” patiently expresses emotions of being “tired of being this wired,” and “Take It Easy” almost serves as both a toast and life-sermon – all seeming more believable in the end. Check out either one of these tunes out and you’ll have a perfect representation of Nate’s musical identity. The 4 bonus live tracks are an accurate testament to his infectious songs, too, as they capture an audience joyfully singing or clapping along – especially during his great and unforgettable older tune, “Don’t Walk Away.” [Quiver Society] Doug Van Pelt
