Have you heard a Fender Stratocaster sing lately? If you listen to Greg Nagy's solo debut, Walk That Fine Thin Line, you will.
Nagy,
who for the past several years has been holding down six-string duties
in Michigan's blues/soul juggernaut Root Doctor, shines in his moment
in the spotlight. He is a master of pulling glistening, flawless, funky
grooves out of his guitar. His comfort zone encompasses R&B and
traditional blues, successfully blending Chicago and Memphis flavors
into a tasteful, all-American mix. He even throws in some sweet gospel
harmonies for good measure.
Nagy
obviously had a blast shaping this disc into his own sound. It's slick,
soulful and bubbling over with passion. Standout cuts include a cover
of Keb Mo's slinky groover "You Can Love Yourself" and the dance floor
ready boogie of "Jenny Jenny Jenny." Nagy seems intent on making us feel
this music. He moves beyond the "guitar player" tag to become not only
a songwriter, but an interpreter. This is music that speaks through him.
If you enjoyed Nagy's work in Root Doctor, you'll love Walk That Fine Thin Line. Nagy establishes himself as one cool cat—a bluesman dripping with soul.
