AMERICAN CREATIVITY ASSOCIATION – AUSTIN GLOBAL “Building a more creative society” Creativity Today – Friday, October 3, 2014 TGIF Music – Israel Nash There are several ways to know when you have “made it” on the music scene. One good one is to be featured in NPR’s “Heavy Rotation.” That honor recently came to Israel Nash. Nash is a Missouri native, who earned his chops in New York City, before voting with his feet to be part of the Austin music scene. Now ensconced in Dripping Springs, when he isn’t touring, Nash promises to be a great contributor to an already legendary group of muscians. Listen to one of his latest songs, the title cut on his new album, “Rain Plans,” at the link. Quote of the Day: “It has holy connotations in Austin, but the phrase outlaw country was invented by a Nashville record executive. Cosmic country is a bigger lasso that ropes in a wide range of stylistic savants: Gram Parsons, Willie Nelson, even Canadian Neil Young, all with their boots on the ground but their gaze turned skyward. From Missouri to New York and now Dripping Springs, Texas, Israel Nash has chased this particular stardust, and hes finally found it with his third album. In Rain Plans, the guitars crackle and burn, the harmonies moan with sadness, and Eric Swanson spins gold with his pedal steel. The song looks both inward and outward — widescreen Americana at its finest.” —Art Levy, KUTX https://youtube/watch?v=vArhwQZ1TVw
