TAVIS SMILEY WELCOMES NICK AND MICHAEL LEDBETTER TO PUBLIC RADIO INT'L
Jambase is exclusively streaming the entire new Nick Moss Band album 'Time Ain't Free' (Blue Bella Records / March 18),
calling it "a high-water mark for the Chicago-based band," continuing,
"The album's 14 tracks will have you tapping your feet along and
dropping your jaw at Moss's many blistering guitar solos." Meanwhile,
the Nick Moss Band is launching a 27-date national tour, starting in its
hometown of Chicago, IL.
Tavis Smiley recently had Moss and Michael Ledbetter on his Public Radio International show, calling the band "top tier."
The Band can rip searing solos, but they are more than guitar heroes.
Moss leads a band that's rooted in rock & roll tradition. In
listening to 'Time Ain't Free,' you'll find a New Orleans rhythm and
blues syncopation here, a gospel piano part there, a stab of Cream-esque
guitar here, an R&B-influenced chord change there, a train beat
here, a greasy Isaac Hayes groove there, and a stinging West Side
Chicago blues lick here.
The Nick Moss Band also made its national television debut last month on WGN.
