Published: April 12, 2021, 6:41 p.m.

Longtime NSTS listeners know that I love speaking with up-and-coming musical talent on the show. And I anticipate that country singer songwriter Nelson Sobral will be a well-known name fairly soon.\xa0 \xa0

Nelson's imaginative with the instrumentation he utilizes in his country-inflected material, a nod to his sophisticated musical tastes - something he credits to his mother. We talk Crowes, Otis Redding, The Ronettes, Howling Wolf....and we see things very, very similarly.\xa0

The Ronettes \u2013 Be My Baby

The Black Crowes \u2013 Sting Me
