Album Review: Shane Nicholson - Pitch, Roll And Yaw: Live And Solo

StarStarStarStar

"Heartbroken-sounding voice and excellent guitar playing."

More Shane Nicholson Shane Nicholson Profile

Nicholson has become something of a lighthouse in Australian country music, bridging both the mainstream and alt-country scenes with his solo releases, albums with Kasey Chambers and his production work.

Now signed to Lost Highway as an artist and also Staff Producer (incl. A&R), this is the precursor to a forthcoming studio album and comprises tracks from across his career, all delivered consummately, spotlighting his weary, heartbroken-sounding voice and excellent guitar playing. The Broken Things is a highpoint of this strong recording highlighting the emotive and compositional strength of Nicholson’s songwriting.
