New Cagle & Nash CD ”Loungevity”
AVAILABLE NOW
Churchill-Nash Records
Release: May, 2010
" Hot of the heels of their debut album SOUL COMPLETE, North Carolina-based songwriting duo Cagle & Nash are back from the studio with their sophomore release - LOUNGEVIITY. From the moment you pick up the disc and see the album art adorned with pics of sunglasses and cocktail bars, it's clear that GREG CAGLE (lead vox, guitar) and RICK NASH (horns) have taken the lounge aesthetic to heart for this album And the pair don't disappoint, with 11 smooth and soulful new tracks spanning a range of cocktail-friendly genres.
The overall vibe of LOUNGEVITY fits in the jet-set philosphy of the classic
Space Age Pop and Lounge acts from the '50's and '60's, There are lush horn and string arrangements, topped with Cagle's smooth bariton and accented by tight female background vocals. But CAGLE & NASH also add a bit of funk and bite to the mix, drawing influences from late '70's acts like STEELY DAN and CHICAGO.
LOUNGEVITY begins with upbeat and radio-friendly "Straight to L.A.," a perfect track to start any day. "Black Tie Affair" tells a tales of the good life, spent behind the bar with a cocktail in one hand and a stack of money in the other. "If Only" and "Mmmm, Paradise" draw influences from smooth bossa-nova vibe, while "A little Bit of Attention" is a full-on funk jam. All-around CAGLE & NASH tackle each genre with masterful execution, both in terms of songwriting and arrangement. The playing is top-notch and the record exudes a certain class and sophistication."
