The American songwriter is surrounded by his band to produce a pop album with folk, rock and soul accents. "Michael Nau & The Mighty Thread" follows "Some Twist," a critically acclaimed album, and "The Load," its EP extension, both released last year. Michael Nau is a wonderfully poetic artist, especially when it comes to describing his devotion to music, and the work that led to this remarkable collection of passionate songs. This sprawling new album was recorded entirely in guitarist Benny Yurco's two-room apartment in Burlington, Vermont. This is the first time a Michael Nau album has been recorded entirely in one location. The songs on this album have something sunny and familiar about them. Not completely folk, not completely rock, this new album by the musician is composed of beautiful ballads with poetic and sunny accents. Listening to it, one can hear that this album is a collective work, recorded with all of Michael Nau's musicians. FOR THOSE WHO LIKE
