Austin based singer-songwriter Jeremy Nail got handed a bad set cf cards when sarcoma cost him left leg. He documented the ordeal on his 2016 album My Mountain. With his new one Live Oak he has turned the page, setting his sights on the future. Like the strong and steady growing tree after which the record is named, Nail is branching out again.
He retained the melancholic country rock vibe, but his lyrics have taken on a more deviant tone. The fear is still there, but hope had the upper hand on this collection of soft-spoken, powerful songs.
