Israel Nash's journey through music has reached new heights with Ozarker. The Missourian’s evolution since the days of his debut, New York Town is remarkable. The album reflects on his life, his ancestors & coming up in the Ozark Mountains.. & Nash utilizes his powerful and expressive voice to captivate you with each track.
While it may have taken a bit more time to fully appreciate compared to his previous album, Topaz(a Meanwhile In Music all time favorite), Ozarker reveals its brilliance with each listen. The fusion of rock with a psychedelic edge, along with elements of country and folk, creates a dynamic backdrop for the unfolding stories he lays before you.
The album is rich with sounds – intricate hooks, and layers of musicality that seem boundless. Nash's melodies have a lifting quality, setting the spirit free. That is only enhanced by the additional emotional brought by backup singers.
Israel Nash and Ozarker deliver a sound reminiscent of 1975 heartland rock, blending influences from Petty, Springsteen, and Neil Young. Despite the big shoes to fill, Ozarker rises to the occasion, delivering a big sound – fit to fill an arena near you.
