A young man with an old voice, this Nova Scotia artist is doing
outlaw country and sounding every bit the wily veteran. Formerly the
leader of The Rockabillys, this is Nickerson's first solo album. It came
out at the start of the year, but is getting a new push with the
release of the single Gettin' Out Of Dodge.
From
the mystery Western feel of opener Jeremiah to the Southern rock of the
new single, Nickerson knows the difference between good and bad, or
authentic and phony country rock, and he's clearly following the right
path.The album has lots of sizzle, courtesy producer and lead guitar
player Blake Johnston (Christine Campbell). Even the heartache ballad If
She's Like has some crunch, while showing off a tender side and pretty
decent pipes from Nickerson. Of course, all good outlaws have that side.
Nickerson has a couple of gigs coming up this Sunday, Aug. 26 at the Lunenburg Concert Series. He'll play the Bandstand at 2 P.M., then he's at the Grand Banker at 9.30.
