JAMBASE HOSTS EXCLUSIVELY PREMIERES NICK MOSS BAND'S SCORCHING NEW ALBUM 'TIME AIN'T FREE' ALBUM AS 27-DATE NATIONAL TOUR LAUNCHES

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.

"GREAT" (KEXP) NICK MOSS BAND READIES 'TIME AIN'T FREE,' OUT MARCH 18 ON BLUE BELLA RECORDS OUT OF CHICAGO, IL, MOSS' TENTH ALBUM

BILLBOARD PREVIEWS SOUL SINGLE "I WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW"

DESCENDENT OF LEAD BELLY, BAND MEMBER MICHAEL LEDBETTER ADDS FIREY SECOND LEAD VOCAL/GUITAR

Nick Moss Band readies its new gumbo of Chicago soul, funk, blues, jam band music, and rock & roll with 'I Want the World The Know' (March 18 / Blue Bella Records), marking the tenth album by bandleader, songwriter, and groove master Nick Moss and a new musical high water mark.

Billboard.com debuted "I Want the World To Know." Billboard's Lars Brandle writes, "Moss' class shines through in "I Want the World To Know," which builds into a showcase of his fluency on the six-string."

Other praise has come to the band on a 36-date national winter tour. KEXP's Greg Vandy called the band "great" late last year. UT San Diego praised Moss' "high-octane" sound, continuing, "Their forthcoming new album, "Time Ain’t Free," finds the group continuing to expand, stylistically, by incorporating gospel, boogie, Southern-rock and more."

Photos, new album stream, and more are here.

Elmore Magazine has called Moss "one of the best guitarists on today's scene" while Blurt Magazine has stated, "Nick Moss keeps tradition alive while moving his music in new directions."

Michael Ledbetter makes his Nick Moss Band lead vocal recording debut on this album and it marks the arrival of a fiery new vocal and guitar talent. Ledbetter is a descendent of the legendary Lead Belly.

Previously, The Nick Moss Band rocketed to #2 on the Relix/Jamband Radio Charts in 2012 with 'Here I Am.'
