CD Reviews

Soulful Country, But Really Just Good Music
Philip R. Heath | DFW | 08/30/2009
(4 out of 5 stars)

"I'm About To Come Alive is David Nail's debut CD, and he has set a pretty high bar for future releases. While country is not my main genre of music, I know that I like this CD. Nail sings in a smooth tenor that is very expressive and earnest. He is at his best on the slower, bluesy tracks such as "I'm About To Come Alive" and "Clouds". Both of those songs also benefit from the background vocals of Natalie Hemby. She lends her voice to five of the 11 tracks, and she and Nail produce very good harmonies on the choruses of these songs. What makes this CD is the genuineness of Nail's delivery whether he is singing about relationships as on the songs already mentioned or about more general topics such as a yearning for specific places as on "Mississippi" and "Missouri" or chasing his dreams on "Again". He sings in a way that one cannot help but know that these songs mean something to him. This CD also avoids falling into an instrumental rut. The opener "Mississippi" features a nice string accompaniment while "Looking For A Good Time", "This Time Around", and "Missouri" all have Hammond B-3 Organ.



All in all, I suppose that I'm About To Come Alive has to be slotted in the Country genre, but I would put it in the more general category of plain old good music. David Nail has given us a CD that is worthy of the attention of all music fans. I have thoroughly enjoyed this CD, and I think that you will too.

Had an old country sound and all songs were slow
Bladen's Mommy | Memphis, TN | 09/17/2009
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This entire album was slow and had the feel of old time country music. He has a beautiful voice, no doubt, but there is not one up beat song on the entire album. You could slow dance to every one. I like a mixture of up beat and slow songs on an album, so this one just wasn't for me. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys the slow songs, but if you aren't a fan of older country or you don't enjoy slow songs, this one probably isn't for you."
Very Solid Album Start to Finish
James R. Spitznas | Purcellville, VA United States | 09/25/2009
(4 out of 5 stars)

"I found this album to be solid from start to end with all tracks but one receiving either 4 or 5 stars. My least favorite track, which I gave 3 stars, was the title track. The title track wasn't bad, per se, but Train performs it much better and I'm at a loss as to why David Nail would pick "I'm About to Come Alive" as his title track when he had so many other, outstanding and original works to choose from. This is a minor complaint against a truly outstanding album and there are very few albums that I want to own every single track on the album and this is one of them."
