Israel Nash's Silver Season

This is right where I live. It is everything I want to hear that is gorgeous harmonies, and sana fe hight desert.

It's like a well engineered 70s-country-disco-pop-rock soundtrack written for the space cowboy on his mission to the home planet Mars after defending the intergalactic federation of happy people. A lot of work went into this record.

New York Town was very good. Barn Doors and Concrete floors was awesome. I was disappointed with Rain Plans - too many slow songs sounding the same, and songs that generally dragged too long. With Silver Season, Israel Nash has hit bottom, or so I hope. Songs really drag and sound the same. His vocals have become little more that a whine. Hopefully, he’ll return to his roots. Definitely not buying this one!

Been a fan since I heard his first tunes and still love those, but the sound of this has become vast, blasting into space from the surface of the desert, gently somehow, like slo-mo rockets. All is clear and in place on some good headphones. Harmonies in echo baths for ages, split by guitar lightning shots and then some.

Purchased before official release. Have listened through first time and found it a little less rocking than it's predecessors. It is more cosmic and stratospheric, which to me is a great thing. Sounds like the old albums in which one song flowed into another. At times he is Neil Young. Other times he is John Fogarty. By all means you should see these guys live. Best time I've had at a show in years. Danced all night even though I was facing knee replacement two days later. Buy it and love it!

By the first chorus of hearing ‘L.A. Lately’ I know Silver Season is going to be magical. This band is special, Rain Plans was/is still special. I know exactly what I’ll be doing the morning of Oct. 9 - find my stereo sweet spot, lay back and with the phone turned off listening through the new album (at least twice in a row), exactly how albums like this are meant to be heard. Until then I’m not buying the pre-release singles, I want that morning to be perfect.

The very first time I listened to Rain Plans, I knew this was a band on the brink of classic rock greatness. This new album without a doubt should push them into that elite realm. I preordered to just get the first two tracks sooner than later -- and there's every reason to believe that Silver Season is going to be a staple on my stereo for many years to come.
